10 rules, in the community's own words.

No hiring or looking for work posts
Please take such enquires to a job-board.

No spamming
Do not post too much of your own content. If over 10% of your posts across Reddit are self-promotional, it is spam. Also, when you do post it, make sure it's free (rule 6). Asking people to take part in surveys is also counted as spam.

Flair your posts

- 4
Content must be Figma related
Don't post general design resources that aren't somehow related to Figma.
- 5
No rants
Ranting and complaining doesn't contribute to the subreddit and will be removed. Please phrase your posts in a constructive and solution oriented manner. Posts about the change from UI2 to UI3 that are not constructive discussions, will be removed.
- 6
No self promoting ads for paid content
Do not post any paid content that you yourself are the owner of. This rule is to reduce spam.

Posts flaired as 'feedback' must include what you want feedback about
If you flair your post as feedback you must include a comment in the post detailing what aspects you want feedback about. Failing to do this may result in your post being considered spam and being removed. Your post should include the following details: 1. The heading as exactly "Feedback details." 2. Who is the target audience? 3. What is the design's main goal? 4. What specific aspects are you looking for feedback on? 5. What stage is this design in (e.g., wireframe, final UI)?

Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rules that matter most for marketing are the rule against no spamming, which states that if over ten percent of your posts across reddit are self-promotional, it is spam. You must also follow the rule regarding no self promoting ads for paid content, and the rule that posts flaired as feedback must include what you want feedback about. Finally, the rule that content must be figma related is non-negotiable.
What To Post
A good post here is one that is free and provides value to the community. If you are seeking help, you must use the feedback flair and provide a detailed comment answering all five required questions under the heading feedback details. You should also ensure your content is directly related to figma and that you have applied the appropriate flair to your post.
What To Avoid
You must avoid posting general design resources that are not somehow related to figma. You must avoid posting any paid content that you yourself are the owner of. You must avoid posting job inquiries or looking for work. You must also avoid rants or complaining, and you must not post your own work as inspiration since it is only for feedback.
A note from Anthony
It is really clear that this community values constructive discussion over showing off personal achievements. The rules around feedback are incredibly specific, which means if you want help, you need to be super thorough. Since there are no observed top posts, I think the community is focused heavily on technical help and critique rather than viral content.
