[Air-L] Q re a survey on reddit (Jeremy Foote)

[Sarah Gilbert]

Hi Noriko,

As far as I know r/SampleSize (https://www.reddit.com/r/SampleSize/ <https://www.reddit.com/r/SampleSize/>) is the only subreddit where you can post links to surveys without getting permission from individual subreddit moderators first. If you post in other subs without getting permission from the mods it will likely be deleted. 

Best,
Sarah
