I second the recommendation of asking the moderators before posting. As a moderator myself I'd say it's easy to get the mods to support it or allow it as long as you message them before. Ask away if you have any more questions about reddit. On Sat, Aug 4, 2018 at 2:43 AM Jeremy Foote <jdfoote1@gmail.com> wrote:
Part of this depends on how the request is distributed. When I tried to use the API to distribute surveys via PM, I was told by the reddit admins that it would get my user banned.
Best, Jeremy

Mostly just the communities themselves. I highly recommend asking the moderators of the subreddits you post in.

Dear all,
I plan to distribute a survey among reddit users using their API. Does anyone know if there is any policy regarding conducting research on reddit, especially about distributing a survey among users? IRB approved the survey.
Any advice would be appreciated,
Noriko
