r/ethereum rules, stats, and what to post

This is the main Ethereum community on Reddit. The description points to decentralised applications and sends people to ethereum.org to dive in, so the room is built around the Ethereum platform itself. The people here care about the technology, the protocol, and what gets built on top of it. From the rules you can tell the moderators work hard to keep the focus there. Price talk gets pushed to a daily pinned thread, product promotion is banned, and scams and referral links are called out by name. So this is a place for builders, developers, and people genuinely working with or learning about Ethereum, not a place to pitch things or talk markets.

The rule that decides most marketing outcomes here is “No product promotion (eg. NFTs, physical goods)”, which bans promoting products outright. “No Referral Links” kills any post built around a tracked or affiliate link. “Price discussion” pushes all market talk and coin ownership posts into the pinned daily general discussion thread, so a standalone price post will not survive. “Spamming or driveby posting” targets people who drop in once, dump a link, and leave. “Misleading title” means your headline has to match what the post actually delivers. “Duplicate” stops you from reposting something already covered. “Be constructive” sets the tone bar, asking for kindness and no misinformation. “Non-english” requires English only, with accurate translations where appropriate. “No Scamming” and “No personal attacks, threats of violence, slurs, etc.” cover the obvious conduct lines.

A good post here is about the technology, not about you. Share something you learned building on Ethereum, a technical question with real detail behind it, or a genuine observation about how the platform or its applications work. Write an honest title that says exactly what the post contains, because misleading titles get removed. Keep every price thought, market take, or mention of what you own inside the pinned daily general discussion thread. Write in English. If you are sharing a resource, make sure it is not a referral link and not a promotion of a product, NFT, or physical good. Engage with replies in a constructive and kind way, because the tone rules apply to comments too.

The fastest removals come from breaking the promotion and link rules. Any product pitch, NFT promotion, or referral link is gone on sight. A standalone post about price, holdings, exchanges, or memes belongs in the daily pinned thread instead. A title that oversells the content breaks the misleading title rule. Reposting something already posted, or showing up once to drop a link and vanish, trips the duplicate and spam rules. Writing in another language without a translation, attacking someone, spreading misinformation, or scamming all break the conduct rules and can end in a ban.

What stands out to me is how clearly this community draws the line between the technology and the money around it. Price talk has its own pinned home, and everything else is expected to be about building on Ethereum. That tells me the only honest way in is to show up with real technical substance, never a pitch.
