Can you promote in r/rails?
A subreddit for discussion and news about Ruby on Rails
The short answer
Answer questions helpfully first; mention your product or company only if directly relevant and brief, and prefer to engage in comments and community threads rather than posting promotional submissions.
What works here
- Answering technical questions and participating in discussion
- Recommending gems/tools (check and link to the wiki resources first)
- Posting job openings in the 'Work it Wednesday' thread with required details
What gets posts removed
- Posting job ads outside the scheduled thread
- Unsolicited product launches or overt advertising
- Using AI-generated content without disclosure
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditJobs limited to scheduled thread
Job posts will be removed; use the 'Work it Wednesday' thread and include salary, experience, timezone, location and restrictions.
Gems/tools guidance
Users are asked to check the wiki for popular gems and resources before posting, indicating gem/tool recommendations are a supported topic.
General focus on discussion/help
Public description and sidebar emphasize discussion and help about Ruby on Rails but do not mention self-promotion rules.
AI content disclosure required
Content generated with GenAI must be clearly marked, so disclosures are enforced for automated material.
