No low-effort posts, Self-promotion or Advertising

No AI Project Posts
We love seeing what people build, but projects that are largely AI-generated with little personal understanding or effort behind them aren't a great fit here. This is a space to learn and grow as audio programmers, so if you're sharing something that's entirely AI, Share it in the weekly project thread.

What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
