What its rules say about promotion
No Spam & Regulated Self-Promotion
Blatant spam, marketing, or promotion of paid courses is strictly forbidden. Self-promotion of personal blogs, projects, or channels is limited and must follow a 9:1 contribution ratio (9 valuable contributions for every 1 self-promotional post). All self-promotion must be clearly disclosed. Project showcases are welcome but must be posted in the weekly "Showcase Sunday" thread.
All 5 rules of r/indiandevs
- Keep Content Relevant to the Indian Developer Ecosystem
Submissions must be directly related to software development and the tech industry within the Indian context. General programming news is allowed, but discussions around career paths, company culture, hiring trends, and challenges specific to India are highly encouraged. Off-topic content, such as politics or memes, is not permitted. - Demonstrate Effort & Provide Context in Your Posts
All posts, especially questions, must demonstrate effort. If you are asking for help, you must include what you have already tried, your specific goal, and the problem you are facing. Low-effort, vague, or "easily googleable" questions are subject to removal. Please search the subreddit and the community wiki before posting. - No Spam & Regulated Self-Promotion
Blatant spam, marketing, or promotion of paid courses is strictly forbidden. Self-promotion of personal blogs, projects, or channels is limited and must follow a 9:1 contribution ratio (9 valuable contributions for every 1 self-promotional post). All self-promotion must be clearly disclosed. Project showcases are welcome but must be posted in the weekly "Showcase Sunday" thread. - Use Designated Megathreads for Common Topics
To keep the main feed organized, certain high-volume topics must be posted in their designated weekly or monthly megathreads. This includes: • General career questions and "how to get started" advice. • Salary and compensation discussions. • Job seeking or hiring posts. - Be Civil & Constructive
Be kind and respectful to others. We welcome constructive criticism and debate, but personal attacks, harassment, bigotry (including misogyny or casteism), and derogatory language are not tolerated. This includes elitist comments about educational backgrounds, company types (e.g., "service vs. product"), or experience levels.
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- Unpublished minimums.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.
