Rule summary

  • Posts must be relevant to CSS, Web Design or Related Topics: Posts posted here must be related to CSS, Web Design or related topics surrounding CSS to maintain relevancy.
  • Be nice and civil: We expect all members of the subreddit to use language that is respectful, inclusive and non-discriminatory. Be kind and helpful to other users. Harassment, hate speech, discrimination, or any other form of hostility will not be tolerated. Constructive criticism is fine, but do it in a way that doesn't attack someone directly. Remember, there is a real human behind the screens. Learn to have sympathy towards others.
  • No NSFW Content: Posts & comments containing any NSFW, sexual & pornographic content will be removed. Keep pornographic content, hentai or anything NSFW like erotica stuff out of this subreddit, we don't want them here. We also don't want any other inappropriate stuff like gore or extremely graphic or disturbing images, videos, or text that may cause intense discomfort, distress, or trauma to viewers.
  • No Spam: Avoid posting spammy stuff, if your account has a history of posting spammy stuff all over reddit you might be banned from the subreddit.
  • Follow Reddit ToS, Content Policy & Reddiquette: We expect you to follow these when interacting in the community. - [Reddit ToS](https://www.redditinc.com/policies/user-agreement-september-25-2023) - [Content Policy](https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy) - [Reddiquette](https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/205926439-Reddiquette)

Works well

  • Share a CSS layout or animation you built and break down how it works step by step.
  • Ask a specific question about a CSS problem you are stuck on, like a flexbox or grid issue.
  • Post a before and after of a web design fix and explain the CSS changes you made.
  • Answer someone's CSS question in the comments with a clear, working code example.
  • Share a free CSS resource, like a snippet or a guide, that you genuinely found useful.

Avoid

  • Do not post anything unrelated to CSS or web design, as the "Posts must be relevant to CSS, Web Design or Related Topics" rule will get it removed.
  • Do not attack people, use hate speech, or harass anyone, because the "Be nice and civil" rule bans all of that.
  • Do not share any adult, sexual, violent, or disturbing content, since the "No NSFW Content" rule forbids it.
  • Do not post spammy stuff or use an account with a spam history, because the "No Spam" rule may get you banned.
  • Do not ignore the "Follow Reddit ToS, Content Policy & Reddiquette" rule, as breaking site policies will not be tolerated here.

What r/css Is For

This community is for discussing CSS, web design, and related topics. People come here to ask questions, share projects, and talk about anything connected to cascading style sheets. The description makes it clear that the room is open to learners and builders who want to talk shop about styling the web.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

The rule called "Posts must be relevant to CSS, Web Design or Related Topics" is the first gate, so anything you post must tie clearly to CSS or web design. The rule named "Be nice and civil" matters for any marketing that invites feedback, because you must stay respectful and constructive even when people push back. The rule called "No Spam" is the one that will trip a founder who drops links without earning a place first. The rule named "No NSFW Content" is strict and covers sexual content, gore, and anything disturbing. The rule called "Follow Reddit ToS, Content Policy & Reddiquette" is the catchall that means standard Reddit behavior applies here too.

What To Post

A good post here is one that helps someone with CSS or web design. You could share a project you built and explain the CSS choices you made, ask a specific question about a layout problem, or offer a tip that saved you time. If you are a founder, the safest move is to share something useful first, like a breakdown of a tricky CSS technique, and only mention your product if it directly solves a CSS problem someone is discussing. The community welcomes questions and project shares, so lead with value and let the tool come up naturally if it fits.

What To Avoid

Avoid posting anything that is not about CSS or web design, because the first rule is about keeping the room relevant. Do not be rude, discriminatory, or hostile, since the "Be nice and civil" rule expects respectful and inclusive language. Avoid any adult, sexual, violent, or disturbing content, as the "No NSFW Content" rule bans all of it. Do not post spammy stuff or use an account with a history of spam, because the "No Spam" rule says you might be banned. Finally, do not break the Reddit terms of service, content policy, or reddiquette, since the rule "Follow Reddit ToS, Content Policy & Reddiquette" requires you to follow them.

Common questions about r/css

Can I share my CSS project or tool here?

Yes, as long as it directly relates to CSS or web design and you follow the community rules.

Are links allowed in posts or comments?

The rules do not ban links outright, but the "No Spam" rule warns that spammy accounts may be banned, so share links only when they add real value to a discussion.

Can I ask a CSS question here?

Yes, the description invites you to ask questions, provided they are about CSS, web design, or related topics.

Is AI-generated content allowed?

The rules do not mention AI content, so there is no stated restriction, but it still must be relevant to CSS and not be spam.

Can I give constructive criticism on someone's design?

Yes, the "Be nice and civil" rule says constructive criticism is fine, but you must do it without attacking the person.
