What its rules say about promotion
No Self-Promotion
This means no posting, linking, or recommending your own content, or any content produced by a person or company you're affiliated with.
All 4 rules of r/barista
- Be Civil
Please be civil. This includes, but is not limited to, hate speech and fighting about politics. Do not participate in drama. Keep it in your DM's or use the report button instead. - Industry-Related Posts Only
This sub is focused on working in the coffee industry, this should be the primary subject in all posts. Anything straying too far off topic may be removed. - No Self-Promotion
This means no posting, linking, or recommending your own content, or any content produced by a person or company you're affiliated with. - No Low-Effort or Spam
If you are asking a question please be as specific as possible. All posts should be barista related and include some form of a cohesive thought, question or statement, for discussion. Shitposting or vague posts like "I want to be a barista, any tips?", "How to ask out a barista?" or "best espresso machine for $$$?" will be removed.
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- Unpublished minimums.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.
Let your AI read the rules before it posts.
