What r/ethereum Is For
This community is for discussion of Ethereum as a platform for decentralized applications. The description points readers to ethereum.org. The rules tell you the room expects constructive, English language conversation about the technology, not trading or promotion.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule called "No Scamming" sets the absolute floor, and the rule called "No product promotion (eg. NFTs, physical goods)" is the one that will end most marketing attempts before they start. The rule named "Spamming or driveby posting" covers low effort promotional drops. The rule titled "No Referral Links" removes any post that includes them. The rule called "Price discussion" pushes all market talk into the daily pinned thread. The rule named "Misleading title" means your title must match your content exactly. The rule called "Non-english" requires English only. The rule named "Duplicate" prevents reposting the same topic.
What To Post
A good post here is a constructive, technical discussion about Ethereum as a decentralized application platform. You might share a deep dive into how a specific smart contract pattern works, or explain a protocol upgrade in plain English. If you are a founder, write about the engineering problem you solved on Ethereum, not the product you are selling. Keep titles accurate and specific, and keep all price or market chatter inside the daily pinned thread.
What To Avoid
Avoid anything that breaks "No Scamming" or "No product promotion (eg. NFTs, physical goods)". Do not drop referral links, since the rule "No Referral Links" is explicit. Keep price and market talk out of standalone posts, because the rule "Price discussion" confines it to the daily pinned thread. Do not use misleading titles, do not post duplicates, and do not spam or driveby post. Avoid non-English posts unless you provide accurate translations. Stay away from personal attacks, threats, gossip, slurs, or posting private information, as the rule "No personal attacks, threats of violence, slurs, etc." forbids all of it.
