- Stay on Topic
Posts should be about unusual, creative, or unconventional side projects. Whether it's software, hardware, art, experiments, websites, AI, or something completely different, it should focus on a side project you're building or discovered. - Share real projects
Low-effort ideas with no context may be removed. If you're sharing a project, include enough information for others to understand what it is, why you made it, or what makes it interesting. - Be respectful

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- Unpublished minimums.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.
