Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.

Rule summary

  • Keep It Astro-Related: Don't post general web dev resources that aren't somehow related to Astro.
  • Be Kind & Courteous: This community is here to help support and stay updated those building on Astro. Please be kind in how you interact with community members. Rude or inappropriate comments will be removed, and authors will be warned or banned.
  • No Spamming: Sharing helpful resources is welcome, but don't spam or constantly self-promote. We'll take action on accounts that are here just to advertise themselves.

Works well

  • Showcase a site you built with Astro and explain one specific technical decision, like how you handled content-driven pages
  • Share an Astro integration, plugin, or starter you built, framed as something that solves a build problem people here actually hit
  • Write a troubleshooting post about a real issue you solved in an Astro build, with the fix in the post itself
  • Answer other people's build questions in the comments without linking anything, to build account history before you ever share your own thing
  • Share a resource that is clearly Astro-specific, like a guide to using a framework the description names alongside Astro

Avoid

  • Posting a general web dev article or tool that has no Astro connection, which breaks “Keep It Astro-Related”
  • Dropping your link and disappearing, which reads as being here just to advertise
  • Posting your own tool or resource repeatedly across days, which the mods call constantly self-promoting
  • Getting sharp or defensive with someone who criticizes your project, since rude comments get removed and authors get warned or banned
  • Treating the subreddit as a launch channel for every update you ship instead of a place to help first
  • Building a pattern of self-promotional posts before you have contributed anything helpful, because the rules say action is taken on accounts that are here just to advertise

What r/astrojs Is For

This is the community subreddit for Astro, a web framework for building fast, content-driven websites. People here share resources, tools, and project showcases, and they ask for troubleshooting help with their builds. The description says the framework supports React, Svelte, Vue, Tailwind, and more, so posts about using those tools inside Astro fit fine. One thing worth knowing before you post, this subreddit is run by the community and not the official Astro team, and there is a separate official subreddit called r/withastro. That matters for you because you are talking to builders and enthusiasts who self-organize, not to a company account.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

Three rules decide whether your post survives here. “Keep It Astro-Related” is the first gate, and it means a general web dev resource that does not connect to Astro gets removed, so a post about your tool needs a clear Astro angle like a plugin, an integration, or a build you made with it. “Be Kind & Courteous” covers how you talk once you are in the thread, rude or inappropriate comments get removed and the author gets warned or banned. “No Spamming” is the rule most marketers trip on, it says sharing helpful resources is welcome but you should not spam or constantly self-promote, and the mods say they take action on accounts that are here just to advertise themselves. The practical read is that one helpful share from an account that also participates is fine, a pattern of self-promotion from an account that only shows up to drop links is not.

What To Post

The community description does a lot of work here, it explicitly invites resources, tools, project showcases, and troubleshooting questions. For a founder, the strongest shapes are a tool or library built for Astro, a project showcase that shows something interesting you built with the framework, or a resource like a guide or starter that solves a real Astro problem. Answering other people's build questions is also marketing in the best sense, it builds a reputation the rules reward instead of punish. Whatever you share, the Astro connection should be obvious from the post itself, not something you have to explain in the comments.

What To Avoid

The obvious failure is posting something general about web development with no Astro connection, that breaks “Keep It Astro-Related”. The second failure is treating the subreddit as a distribution channel, if your account history is all self-promotion you match the exact description the “No Spamming” rule calls out. Piling up your own links week after week counts as constantly self-promoting even when each post is on topic. And once people reply, stay courteous, because rude or inappropriate comments get removed and can get you warned or banned under “Be Kind & Courteous”.

Common questions about r/astrojs

Can I share a project I built with Astro?

Yes, the description says project showcases are welcome, as long as the post is Astro-related.

Can I post a tool or resource I made?

Yes, if it is somehow related to Astro. The rule is not against sharing, it is against spamming or constantly self-promoting.

Are links allowed?

Unknown from the evidence, since the community has no published rule about links. What the rules do police is repetition and intent, so keep link posts occasional and genuinely useful.

Is AI-generated content banned?

The rules do not mention AI content either way, so there is no published answer. Focus on whether the post is Astro-related and helpful.

What happens if I break a rule?

The stated consequence is removal of the post, and for spamming or rudeness, warnings or bans for the account.
