Subreddit rules check
r/androiddev
Can you promote here?
Promotion is allowed only with moderator permission (or inside designated threads). A short, honest modmail before posting costs two minutes and functions as a safe-conduct pass; skipping it is the most common avoidable removal.
From the rules · Use the weekly threads (e.g., Who's Hiring, App Feedback) for hiring or app-promotion; follow any required flair.
Links
The rules clearly allow links. A plain-text mention still often outperforms a URL from a young account.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: guide, discussion, showcase
Headline: short, technical, include the tech stack (e.g., Kotlin / Jetpack Compose). Lead with a concise problem/benefit sentence, then link to repo/article and include code snippets/screenshots. First person is fine for OSS or feedback requests; tutorials can be neutral. Typical length: brief post + linked deep-dive. Tone: professional, practical. Upvoted: useful libraries, clear tutorials, debugging/discussion; removed: vague promos or phone-support posts.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.
Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked July 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/androiddev's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
