Probably dumb question about self promotion (lemm.ee)

Ok, so I am a U.S. researcher who has ended up here bc of censorship issues on other platforms.

I understand why rules for no self promotion exist in general, but typically I would consider that to be things like promoting a business or anything with a paywall or with the goal to get more attention for self vs the goal to spread information that is being suppressed.

I started writing a blog on ghost and putting some information together to raise awareness about science and other policy disinformation. Would sharing the information or graphics from the blog still be self promotion since it's my own blog

If it is self promotion, are there any good communities where this kind of things is ok to share?

I guess on a broad topic level the closest would be public health, but it's been so misrepresented it's also become an issue of politics and privatization of public information

There are definitely political communities for US and Europe (continent and individual nations) where such content would be welcome, with the exception of sya posting US internal stuff into a Europe community.

News and World News communities would also be open to this type of content (public health policy and associated topics).
