Subreddit rules check
r/ethdev
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 · No advertising — promotional posts or shilling (paid projects, exchanges) will be removed; ask moderators first if unsure.
Links
No explicit link policy. Default to no URL: link-plus-young-account is one of the most common automated removal patterns on Reddit.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: question, discussion, guide
Use a concise technical headline (problem + context), write in first person for help requests and neutral/third-person for technical writeups. Keep posts focused (100–500 words) with code snippets, repro steps, links to repos/docs for debugging or demonstration. Tone: technical, factual, non-salesy. What gets upvoted: clear bug reports, reproducible examples, design discussions, implementation guides. What gets removed: promotional/marketing posts, “check out my product” shilling or exchange ads.
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/ethdev'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.
