r/DigitalMarketing
Substantially busier than r/marketing and substantially less discussed. A useful volume of practitioner questions, with a comment count suggesting many of them go unanswered.
What the numbers say
r/DigitalMarketing sees a busy stream of posts — about 28 a day — with moderate discussion. That combination — busy feed, thin discussion — means opportunities appear often and competition to answer them is low. Whether anyone reads your answer is the open question. It accepts text posts only, so there is no way to submit a link as a post — whatever you want read has to be written out in the post itself.

Volume without the gate
r/DigitalMarketing is where people go when r/marketing removes their post. That is not entirely a criticism: the absence of a karma gate makes it accessible, and the higher volume means genuine questions arrive daily rather than weekly.
The trade is quality of discussion. A median of four comments means most questions get a short answer or two and nothing more. For someone with real expertise, that is arguably an opportunity — being the substantive answer in a thread of thin ones is easier here than in a well-served community.
The promotion rules are blunt and short: no posting of services, no seminars, no self-promotion, and each simply redirects you to Reddit's advertising product. There is no nuance to work with and no promotional thread. Participate as a practitioner or not at all.

Frequently asked questions
Can you promote your business in r/DigitalMarketing?
No. Three of its five rules ban promotion in various forms — services, seminars and self-promotion — and each points you at Reddit's paid advertising instead. AI-generated posts are also removed and the poster banned.
Is r/DigitalMarketing good for finding leads?
Useful, but the promotion rules will catch you out. Questions arrive at a decent rate and are often under-answered, which favours anyone with genuine depth.
