You have to slowly engage with the community and use it or a regular but even then you are not supposed to self promote. What you can do is ask for peoples opinion of your app.
It seems that there is no clear definition of what self promotion is. For example, sending the security and privacy white paper of my product to r/privacy and asking for feedback was seen as self promotion.
Reddit is banning accounts so frequently. I would suggest avoid posting anything for the first week of account creation, and even when you post, do not add a link. unfortunately the only way for startups to promote themselves now is to do shadow marketing.
tbh, its worse than that. This one time, I used to post to reddit, without adding a link, and some guy from competition used to reply to comments of people who used to ask for the tool name and link. haha basically i sow the crop and he reaped it.

This is a good point about Reddit, thank you!
Some of us folks here did startups before there was Reddit (or HN). Launching for free wasn't a thing. So things turn around.
True. But your competition was in the same boat with you, and now they can downvote your posts into oblivion.
