Subreddit rules check
r/appdevelopers
Can you promote here?
The rules prohibit promoting your own product here. You can still be genuinely useful in comments (which builds the account standing every other community checks), but any promotional post or link is likely to be removed and can earn a community ban.
From the rules · Self-promotion is explicitly banned — don’t post app links or promotional pitches; offering services in a post may be disallowed, so prefer comments or follow mod guidance.
Links
Links are prohibited in posts or comments. Name things in plain text; interested readers will search.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: discussion, question, showcase
Title: straightforward question or request (e.g., “Looking for an app developer”, “[HIRING] …”, or “Any Solo App Developers Here?”). Write in first person, short-to-medium length with concrete details (platform, timeline, budget/problem). Tone: pragmatic, helpful, and community-focused. Upvoted: genuine troubleshooting, collaboration requests, hiring or experience-sharing. Removed: anything that reads like product promotion, “check out my app,” or includes your product pitch/links.
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 August 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/appdevelopers'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.
