How to ask questions about your product without violating self-promotion rules?
I want to ask specific questions about my startup, but context is key, and I want to be able to explicitly state the name of (and link to) my webpage to give the community a concrete understanding of what I'm building. I'm hesitant to do so because I'm worried that I'll have my post removed due to the "I will not promote" rule. I have seen people try to work around this anti-promotion rule by creating generic posts on this sub and then linking to their website in the comments (after readers have prompted them to share a link), but this song-and-dance routine is exhausting. For example, the discussion I want to have right now is this: I am having a hard time finding a sales-oriented cofounder for my startup. My platform can be described as a LinkedIn for the visual art industry. Now, I could either provide several paragraphs trying to explain the various nuances of the platform, or I could simply link to it so people can see exactly what it looks like. I want to know if potential cofounders are turned off by the product (and why), or if it's a solid product that is headed in the right direction, and I just need to work harder to find a cofounder.1
