The mods of r/Canning attempt to verify whether or not posted recipes follow scientifically published guidelines. This is difficult to do with "video" style recipes and How-Tos due to their length -- the mods simply don't have time to sit around and watch a bunch of 10 - 20 minute long videos to vet them. Hence video recipes are currently disallowed. Thank-you for your understanding! - No bigotry
We will not tolerate bigotry of any kind, including but not limited to: racism, homophobia, biphobia, and aphobia. - No politics
This is not the place for current political commentary. - No Meta Comments / Be Respectful of Mod Team

As per the request of the Photo AutoMod (PAM), all posts that contain an image must have a description added. Posts with images that lack a reply to PAM within a reasonable timeframe will regrettably be removed, as we assume you're a bot and won't care. Repeat offenders will get banned so that we can keep our membership clean and full of humans, not toasters. If you have a post removed, please reach out to us via ModMail with your description if you wish to have your post reinstated.
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- Unpublished minimums.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.
