Make sure you use your personal account when you do this: self promotion is only allowed if your account is contributing to reddit in some other way. I tried to create a separate account to promote my iOS game Super Smart but the post was immediately removed for that exact reason.

Congratulations on shipping!

out of curiosity, is it acceptable if you're only contributing to other subreddits?

This should be no problem. However, I am talking about a significant amount: I was told that at most %10 of total contribution (posts, comments) could be self-promotional.

The problem for me was that my personal account contained stuff I did not want to share as a game publisher. Now I am trying to use the game account as my main, just to catch up.
