Are there any published rules I need to follow?
The community has no published rules, so the only guidance is to keep your post relevant to the Apache Webserver.

Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
No subreddit-specific rules were displayed on the public rules page when Rankhog verified it on 2026-09-18.
Works well
- Share a short writeup of an Apache Webserver configuration tip that solved a problem for you.
- Post a news update about an Apache release or change, with a plain explanation of why it matters.
- Ask a specific Apache Webserver question, like how to tune a module for better performance.
- Introduce a tool by framing it around a real Apache Webserver task, such as log analysis or config management, and invite feedback.
Avoid
- Posting content that has nothing to do with the Apache Webserver.
- Treating this as a general web development or hosting subreddit when your topic is not Apache-specific.
- Promoting a product without tying it to a real Apache Webserver use case or problem.
What r/apache Is For
This is a place for people who care about the Apache Webserver. The public description says you will find news, tips and tricks, or just ask for assistance, and the community tries to help each other. It is a technical support and discussion space for Apache Webserver users.
What To Post
A good post here is a helpful Apache Webserver story or tip. You could share a configuration that solved a real problem, write up a news update about Apache, or ask a genuine question about running Apache. If you are a founder, tie your post to a real Apache use case, like a tool that helps people manage or monitor Apache, and explain it in plain terms. Keep the focus on being useful to people who work with the Apache Webserver.
What To Avoid
Since there are no published rules, the only stated expectation is relevance to the Apache Webserver. Avoid anything that does not connect to Apache, such as general web development topics, unrelated software, or off-topic promotion. The safest mistake to avoid is posting content that a member would not recognize as useful to Apache Webserver users.

Common questions about r/apache
What kind of content is welcome here?
The description says you will find news, tips and tricks, or requests for assistance, so those are the accepted post types.
Can I share a link to my product?
The rules do not say, but the safest path is to share something genuinely useful about the Apache Webserver rather than dropping a bare link.
