What its rules say about promotion

Advertising
Advertisements are not allowed. Do not post your commercial software, your start-up project, or other tool for the sole purpose of getting sales or recognition. If you made something great worth sharing, that's one thing, but we constantly have to remove people's posts that are functionally just advertisements. Knock that shit off.
All 8 rules of r/coding
  1. No Discord links
    Discord links - seriously, knock it off. Don't post them.
  2. No tutorials
    Tutorial video links - these are commonly spammed and abused. It's more of a judgement call, but in general, don't spam the subreddit with "How to learn to code" videos, please.
  3. "I made this!" Post
    "I made this!" - cool, I'm proud of you - but, seeing what you made doesn't intrinsically benefit others. If you write an article explaining it, the technical challenges, etc. - then share that!
  4. No self-posts
    Self-posts are not allowed here. Posting an irrelevant link for the express purpose of posting what amounts to a self/discussion post is not allowed.
  5. No music
    Do not post your shitty EDM playlist just because you like listening to it while programming.
  6. Advertising
    Advertisements are not allowed. Do not post your commercial software, your start-up project, or other tool for the sole purpose of getting sales or recognition. If you made something great worth sharing, that's one thing, but we constantly have to remove people's posts that are functionally just advertisements. Knock that shit off.
  7. Homework
    No homework questions. Seriously.
  8. Stupid questions
    Don't ask us what language to program your project in. Don't ask "how to start programming". This is a place to share meaningful content, not ask beginner questions.
