Or do I have to make a community to do this? Because I don't want to be banned from a bunch of communities for promoting my articles that I wrote.

This is actually a feature in Reddit for those unaware.

I think lemmy is a lot less averse to users posting their own content as long as there is a proper summary, it isn't a youtube video and you disclaim it. I would also avoid cross posting.

Maybe you can message the mods of a few communities ahead of starting to post just to be safe.

A community is also a good option. Pretty sure you can make it so only you can post on a community so it ends up filling in the same functionality.
