Subreddit rules check

Can you promote here?
The written rules take no clear position, which is NOT permission: unclear communities enforce norms through removals instead of rulebooks. Sort by top, study which builder posts survived and how they were framed, and when in doubt ask the mods.
From the rules · Make sure to include queries, schema, error messages or execution plans — low-context posts are commonly removed.
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, guide, news
Headline: concise technical summary (e.g., “How do I…”, “Postgres 15: new feature”); ask-for-help posts use first person and include full queries, schema, errors, and EXPLAIN plans. Typical length: short title + body with code blocks and sample data. Tone: precise, technical. Upvoted: clear reproducible problems, how-tos/guides, release/news; removed: low-context ‘it doesn’t work’ 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/postgres's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
