Posting your startup in r/growmybusiness
Yes. r/growmybusiness is one of the subreddits that lets founders share their own product, as long as you follow its self-promotion rules and give the community more than you take. The rules and the post formats that get approved are below.
Genuine questions about business problems and challenges (customer acquisition, scaling tactics, vendor issues, sales training). Posts that ask the community for advice or shared experiences without pitching anything perform best.
Self-promotion rules
No selling, upselling, or promotional content allowed. You may share advice and strategy in the monthly sticky thread with a signature and links, but it must be genuine value-add content. Blog posts, surveys, and feedback requests are prohibited. Keep all discourse civil and focused on helping others, not pushing your own product. (Note: this sub is strict about self-promotion, lead with pure value.)

how do you balance feature development vs. talking to customers when you're bootstrapped?
I've been heads-down building for months and just realized I haven't talked to a single customer in weeks. I'm worried I'm building the wrong thing, but I also feel like I can't afford to pause development. How do you actually balance this?
