Can you promote in r/php?
Share and discover the latest news about the PHP ecosystem and its community. Please respect r/php's rules.
The short answer
Provide genuinely useful, non-support discussion or announcements, disclose your affiliation briefly, avoid recruiting/job posts, and let the community judge value by engagement.
What works here
- Links to your own content if clearly valuable
- Project/news announcements that benefit the community
- Discussion posts with substantive technical content
What gets posts removed
- Direct solicitations, ads or recruiting (job postings are always spam)
- Low-effort promotional posts or repetitive self-promotion
- Individual help/support requests (use r/phphelp or StackOverflow)
