Rule summary
- Be Kind: Do not engage in personal attacks, ***even in retribution***. Instead of lashing back, report them and move on.
- No Web3-related Posts.: No posts about NFT-related or crypto-related jobs or community advertisements.
- No Politics: There are other subreddits for that, this is not one of them.
- No Spam: This is a place for Community Managers to spend time and discuss the industry or just discuss among themselves. It's not a place to market. It's fine to mention products, but it is not okay to advertise or try to profit from the members here. You will be banned if you do.
- Hiring Posts Must Have a Salary Range: Any posts looking to hire people for community work MUST contain a salary range. Hiring posts for unpaid positions are NOT permitted.
- Touchy Subjects, Appeals: In the cases where the mods have a problem with your conduct and there's no specific rule, moderator decisions stand. For disputes please [Message the Moderators](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=/r/communitymanager). Public appeals will result in an automatic ban.
- English Only: All posts and comments must be in English. This rule ensures that the subreddit remains accessible and understandable to the majority of the community members, as well the moderators. Any post or comment made in a language other than English will be removed.
Works well
- Share a specific moderation challenge you faced and ask the room how they would have handled it.
- Write a detailed post about a community engagement strategy that worked or failed, with no product pitch attached.
- Post a paid community manager job opening with a clear salary range, since the rules require it.
- Ask a question about community metrics or health indicators and invite experienced community managers to weigh in.
- Discuss a trend in online community management, like handling difficult members or scaling a community, as a peer in the field.
Avoid
- Do not post anything promoting NFT or crypto jobs or communities, as the No Web3-related Posts rule is explicit.
- Do not advertise or try to profit from members, since the No Spam rule says you will be banned if you do.
- Do not post a hiring notice without a salary range, because Hiring Posts Must Have a Salary Range and unpaid roles are not allowed.
- Do not write in any language other than English, as the English Only rule means your post will be removed.
- Do not bring politics into the subreddit, per the No Politics rule.
- Do not publicly appeal a moderator decision, because the Touchy Subjects, Appeals rule says public appeals result in an automatic ban.
What r/CommunityManager Is For
This subreddit is a space for people who run and maintain online communities. The description says it is built for community managers focused on healthy communities, and it explicitly says it is not about social media management. The people who post here are community managers talking about their craft, their challenges, and the industry around community management. It is a professional discussion room, not a place to find customers.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule that matters most for anyone doing Reddit marketing is No Spam. It says plainly that this is not a place to market, and that you will be banned if you advertise or try to profit from members. It does allow mentioning products, but the line between a mention and an ad is thin, and the moderators have left themselves wide latitude. The No Web3-related Posts rule is also worth noting if your product touches crypto or NFTs in any way. The Hiring Posts Must Have a Salary Range rule matters if you ever post a job, because posts without a salary range are not allowed and unpaid roles are banned entirely. The English Only rule means anything you write must be in English. The Touchy Subjects, Appeals rule tells you that if a moderator removes your post and you complain publicly about it, you get an automatic ban, so any dispute goes through a private message to the moderators instead.
What To Post
A good post here is a genuine contribution to the community management conversation. You could share a real challenge you faced running a community and how you handled it, ask a thoughtful question about community health or moderation strategy, or discuss a trend you are seeing in online communities. If your product comes up, it should be because it is relevant to the story you are telling, not because you are steering the conversation toward it. The rules allow mentioning products, but only as part of a real discussion, never as an advertisement. If you are hiring, you can post a job as long as it includes a salary range and the role is paid. The best approach is to participate as a community manager first and a founder second.
What To Avoid
Avoid anything that looks like marketing. The No Spam rule is direct about this, and it says you will be banned. Do not post links that look like ads, do not pitch your product, and do not try to recruit customers. Avoid any Web3 or crypto content, because the No Web3-related Posts rule bans it outright. Avoid politics, per the No Politics rule. If you post a job, do not leave out the salary range, because the rule requires one and bans unpaid roles. Do not post in any language other than English. And if a moderator removes your post, do not fight it publicly, because the Touchy Subjects, Appeals rule says a public appeal gets you banned automatically.
