The short answer

Be helpful first: provide value and context, clearly disclose your affiliation, avoid pure sales language or link-only posts, and ask moderators if unsure.

What works here

  • Sharing your project when it's relevant to the discussion
  • Posting detailed context or explanations alongside links
  • Calling out your role (e.g., 'I'm the founder of...')

What gets posts removed

  • Posting direct product links with no explanation
  • Aggressive self-promotion, affiliate spam, astroturfing or fake comparisons
  • Crossposting without added value or low-effort/AI-only content
