The short answer

Participate genuinely first, follow the 3:1 rule before posting promotional content, disclose your affiliation, keep posts high-value and non-salesy, and avoid links or solicitations unless clearly appropriate or requested.

What works here

  • Answer questions and share expertise freely
  • Mention your project/tool with disclosure after earning trust
  • Sell your own items if you're an active member following the 3:1 rule
  • Post job openings with full details (role, type, pay, contact)

What gets posts removed

  • Posting direct sales pitches, solicitations, or crowdfunding asks
  • Low-effort posts that serve mainly as ads or external-link bait
  • Using DMs for vague 'DM for details' recruitment or sales
  • Ignoring the 3:1 rule and community spam rules

Where this comes from

View the current official rules on Reddit

No Sales / No Solicitation

Rules explicitly ban selling, crowdfunding, or soliciting money, with an exception allowing active members to sell their own items if they follow a 3:1 non-promotional-to-promotional post ratio.

Anti-spam / value requirement

Community forbids vague, irrelevant, low-effort posts and says contributions should add genuine value rather than acting as billboards for external links.

Job post guidance

Job posts are allowed but must include role, type, pay, and contact; vague 'DM for details' posts will be removed.

On-topic / community focus

Sidebar encourages asking questions, sharing code, discussing tools, and reviewing ideas — indicating product/tool discussions are part of the community when done in that context.
