Can you self-promote in r/designMajors?

r/designMajors publishes no karma or age minimum, but unpublished account filters are common at this size. New accounts should comment before posting.

r/designMajors posting questions
Can I post links in r/designMajors?
No. r/designMajors accepts text posts only, so a link-only submission is rejected at the door. You can usually mention a link inside the body text, but the sub's rules on self-promotion still apply to it. Check your draft against the rules before posting.
Does r/designMajors require karma to post?
r/designMajors does not publish a karma minimum. That does not mean there is none: many subreddits enforce unpublished karma and account-age filters that remove posts silently. If your account is new or has little karma, that is the first thing to rule out when a post disappears.
Is r/designMajors strict?
Relaxed, by our estimate (0/100 on our strictness scale, from its 0 rules and stated gates; no removal sample yet). Strictness is about enforcement, not hostility: a strict sub is predictable if you follow its rules.
Why do posts get removed in r/designMajors?
Every subreddit runs several removal layers: its own rules, unpublished AutoMod filters, Reddit's sitewide spam filter, and account-level gates like karma and age. Many removals are silent: the post looks live to you and invisible to everyone else. Checking your draft first beats finding out after.
