r/ClaudeCode rules, stats, and what to post

This is a community for building, learning, and sharing with Claude Code, which is a coding tool. The people here are developers and builders who use Claude Code in their daily work and want to talk about that specific tool. The rules keep the room narrow on purpose. Posts about Claude in general or AI in general belong somewhere else, so this is a working community for one tool, not a general AI hangout.

Four rules decide whether a marketing-adjacent post survives here. “Stay On Topic” is the first gate, because your post has to be about Claude Code and not AI in general. “No Spam or Low-Effort Promotion” is the hard wall, since it bans referral links, affiliate codes, disguised ads, and repeated promotion. “Projects & Showcases” matters if you want to show something you built, because simple shares go in the weekly showcase thread and standalone posts must be detailed. “Add Context” and “Use the Right Flair” catch everything else, since questions and comparisons need real detail and every post needs the right flair.

The safest strong post here is a detailed technical write-up where Claude Code is the subject. If you built something with it, the standalone route is open but demanding: the rule says the post must explain what you built, how Claude Code was used, and what you learned. If your project share is simple, put it in the weekly showcase thread instead. Questions, comparisons, and bug reports work well if you follow “Add Context” and include examples, errors, prompts, logs, or reproduction steps. A founder writing about how they use Claude Code day to day, with real prompts and real outcomes, fits this room. A post about your product that happens to mention Claude Code does not.

The fastest way to get removed is promotion. Rule 4, “No Spam or Low-Effort Promotion”, bans referral links, affiliate codes, account selling, shared subscriptions, disguised ads, and repeated promotion. The moderator one-liner confirms that posts promoting products get removed. Off-topic posts get removed under “Stay On Topic”. Thin posts get removed under “Add Context” if they are questions, complaints, comparisons, or bug reports without enough detail. Wrong flairs get fixed or removed under “Use the Right Flair”. Simple project posts outside the weekly thread get removed under “Projects & Showcases”. And anything assigned to a megathread, like outages or usage limits, belongs there under “Use Megathreads When Required”.

What stands out to me is how much structure this community puts around sharing, with flairs, megathreads, and a whole rule just for project posts. That tells me the people here care about substance, not announcements, which is honestly the kind of room I like. If you cannot write three honest sentences about what you learned building something, this is not your channel yet.
