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

Rule summary

  • Stay On Topic: Posts must be about Claude Code. General Claude or AI discussion belongs elsewhere.
  • Use the Right Flair: Choose the flair that best matches your post. Misleading or incorrect flairs may be changed or removed.
  • Add Context: Questions, complaints, comparisons, and bug reports need enough detail to be useful. Include examples, errors, prompts, logs, or reproduction steps when relevant.
  • No Spam or Low-Effort Promotion: No referral links, affiliate codes, account selling, shared subscriptions, disguised ads, or repeated promotion.
  • Projects & Showcases: Simple project sharing belongs in the weekly showcase thread. Standalone Built with Claude Code posts must be detailed and explain what you built, how Claude Code was used, and what you learned.
  • Use Megathreads When Required: Use pinned megathreads for topics assigned to them, such as outages, usage limits, common issues, and weekly showcases.
  • Be Respectful: Critique ideas, not people. No harassment, personal attacks, doxxing, brigading, or targeted abuse.
  • Follow Reddit’s Rules: Reddit’s Content Policy applies. No vote manipulation, ban evasion, spam, or coordinated abuse.

Works well

  • A detailed standalone post about a project you built with Claude Code, explaining what it does, how Claude Code helped, and what you learned.
  • A bug report or question with full context, including error messages, prompts, logs, and reproduction steps.
  • A comparison post that includes enough detail to be useful, with examples and specific scenarios.
  • A simple project share posted in the weekly showcase thread rather than as a standalone post.
  • A question about a Claude Code outage or usage limit posted in the relevant pinned megathread.

Avoid

  • Posting about general Claude or AI topics that are not specifically about Claude Code.
  • Including referral links, affiliate codes, or disguised ads in your post.
  • Sharing a simple project as a standalone post instead of in the weekly showcase thread.
  • Asking for help without including logs, prompts, error messages, or reproduction steps.
  • Posting about an outage or usage limit without checking the pinned megathread first.
  • Choosing the wrong flair or skipping flair entirely when you submit your post.

What r/ClaudeCode Is For

This community is for building, learning, and sharing with Claude Code. That means people come here to talk about the Claude Code tool specifically, not general Claude or broad AI topics. You will find developers and builders asking questions, reporting bugs, sharing projects built with Claude Code, and comparing it to other tools. The rules make clear that every post must be about Claude Code itself, and anything general goes elsewhere.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

The rule called Stay On Topic is the first gate, because anything that is not specifically about Claude Code gets removed. The rule named No Spam or Low-Effort Promotion is the one that will catch a founder who pushes too hard, since it blocks referral links, affiliate codes, disguised ads, and repeated promotion. The rule labeled Projects and Showcases decides whether your project post survives as a standalone or belongs in the weekly thread. The rule called Add Context matters for any post that asks a question or reports a bug, because vague posts without logs, prompts, or errors can be removed. The rule named Use Megathreads When Required means that if your topic has a pinned thread, your standalone post is at risk. The rule called Use the Right Flair is simple but easy to miss, since incorrect flairs may get your post changed or removed.

What To Post

A good post here is one where you share something genuinely useful about your experience using Claude Code. If you built something with it, write a detailed standalone post that explains what you built, how you used Claude Code in the process, and what you learned along the way. If you ran into a bug or a tricky problem, include your logs, prompts, error messages, and reproduction steps so others can actually help. If your topic is covered by a pinned megathread, like an outage or a usage limit question, post there instead of starting a new thread. Pick the right flair before you submit, and make sure your post is clearly about Claude Code and not about AI in general.

What To Avoid

Do not post anything that is not directly about Claude Code, because general Claude or AI discussion belongs elsewhere. Do not use referral links, affiliate codes, or disguised ads, and do not repeat the same promotion. Do not post a simple project as a standalone, because it belongs in the weekly showcase thread. Do not skip context when asking a question or reporting a bug, because posts without examples, logs, prompts, or reproduction steps can be removed. Do not ignore the pinned megathreads, because topics like outages, usage limits, and common issues have assigned threads. Do not pick the wrong flair or skip it, because misleading or incorrect flairs may be changed or removed. Do not attack people or harass anyone, because the rules are strict about respect.

Common questions about r/ClaudeCode

Can I share a tool or product I built with Claude Code?

Only if it is detailed and explains what you built, how Claude Code was used, and what you learned. Simple project sharing belongs in the weekly showcase thread instead.

Are referral links or affiliate codes allowed?

No. The rules say no referral links, affiliate codes, disguised ads, or repeated promotion. Any promotion must be conditional and genuinely useful to the community.

What do I need to include when asking for help with a bug or error?

Include examples, errors, prompts, logs, or reproduction steps. The rules require enough detail to be useful, and posts without context may be removed.

Where should I post about an outage or usage limit issue?

Check the pinned megathreads first. Outages, usage limits, common issues, and weekly showcases all have assigned megathreads you should use instead of creating a standalone post.

Can I post about general AI topics or general Claude usage?

No. The first rule says posts must be about Claude Code, and general Claude or AI discussion belongs elsewhere.
