Subreddit rules check
r/learnprogramming
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 · Self-promotion is restricted (first-time posters may not self-promote); message the mods if unsure.
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: question, guide, discussion
Headline: concise and descriptive (include language/problem). Write in first person, short (1–3 paragraphs). For debugging posts include a minimal reproducible example, expected vs actual output, and full error text. Tone: professional and help-seeking. Upvoted: clear, effortful, searchable questions or thorough learning guides. Removed: blatant promotions, low-effort/duplicate questions, 'ask to ask', or app/showcase 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/learnprogramming'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.
