r/chrome_extensions rules, stats, and what to post

This is a community for people who learn, share, build, and discuss Chrome extensions. The members are extension builders, people hunting for extensions that solve a problem, and folks who want to talk about extension news and announcements. The description says news, announcements, and talk are all welcome as long as the post is about Chrome extensions. If your product, story, or question lives inside the world of browser extensions, this is your room. If it does not, there is no angle that makes it fit.

The rule that decides most things here is “All posts should be about Chrome Extensions”, because anything off topic gets removed. “No Spam” is the one that matters most for founders, since website spam, misleading websites, and clickbait are banned, and people who spam across multiple subreddits get reported to admins. “Keep posts and comments constructive” sets the tone, so even a negative opinion has to be delivered in a helpful way. “No Piracy” and “No NSFW Content.” are hard lines with no exceptions. “No Vote Brigading” means you cannot ask this community to go upvote or downvote something elsewhere on Reddit. Finally, “Moderators have final say.” means the mods can remove or ban at their own judgment, so a technically allowed post can still be removed if it feels off.

A good post here is genuinely about Chrome extensions and gives the reader something they can use. If you built an extension, show what it does, the problem it solves, and what you learned building it, and invite real discussion rather than just dropping a link. If you are researching the space, a thoughtful breakdown of how people solve a problem with extensions can work well. Keep the tone constructive even when you are critical of something, because the rules demand it. Write like a member of the community who happens to have a product, not a marketer who found a channel.

The fastest way to get removed is posting something that is not about Chrome extensions, because that breaks “All posts should be about Chrome Extensions”. Website spam, misleading sites, and clickbait are out under “No Spam”, and spamming across multiple subreddits gets you reported to admins, which is a much bigger problem than one removed post. Piracy topics get deleted, NSFW links are not permitted, and vote brigading is against sitewide rules. Even criticism has to stay constructive under “Keep posts and comments constructive”. And remember that “Moderators have final say.”, so they can act on anything they judge unfit.

What stands out to me is the “No Spam” rule spelling out that spammers get reported to Reddit admins, which tells me this community takes repeat promotion across subreddits seriously. I also like that the rules welcome negative opinions as long as they stay constructive, because that is exactly the kind of honest feedback a founder should want. There are no observed top posts to learn from here, so I would treat this room as one where you earn your first win with a genuinely useful post about extensions, not a launch.
