Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.

Rule summary

  • Post only in English: Post only in English
  • Be respectful of other members: Be respectful of other members
  • Yes, we allow showcasing your work: Yes, we allow showcasing your work
  • Yes, we allow job posting: Yes, we allow job posting
  • Share information that encourages discussion: Share information that encourages discussion
  • Don't post spam and/or off-topic posts: Don't post spam and/or off-topic posts

Works well

  • Show your JAMstack project, explain one interesting technical choice you made, and ask what others would have done differently.
  • Describe a performance or scaling problem you hit with your site and ask how members here would approach it.
  • Share a before and after of a migration to or from a JAMstack setup and invite people to poke holes in your reasoning.
  • Ask a genuine question about tooling, hosting, or build choices and mention what you currently use so people can react.
  • Post a job listing for a role that touches JAMstack work, since job posting is explicitly allowed.

Avoid

  • Posting in any language other than English, since the community states posts must be in English only.
  • Dropping a bare link to your product with no context and no question, which reads as spam.
  • Posting about something unrelated to JAMstack, like general marketing advice or off-topic news, because off-topic posts get removed.
  • Writing a showcase that invites no response, breaking the expectation that posts encourage discussion.
  • Getting into arguments or leaving dismissive replies when someone critiques your work.
  • Repeating the same promotional post over and over, which is the clearest form of spam.

What r/JAMstack_dev Is For

This is a community for people who build websites and apps the JAMstack way. The description talks about better performance, higher security, lower cost of scaling, and a better developer experience, so the people here care about how sites are built, not just how they look. The description also says the group wants to grow into like-minded professionals who help each other solve problems, which tells you the tone is peer to peer. The rules confirm the room is open on purpose. Showcasing your work is allowed, job posting is allowed, and the community asks that posts encourage discussion. So this is a working room for developers and the founders who serve them, not a silent audience.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

Four rules decide most outcomes here. “Yes, we allow showcasing your work” is the big one, because it means you can talk about your own product openly instead of hiding it. “Share information that encourages discussion” is the one that separates a good post from a dead one, since a link with no question gives people nothing to respond to. “Don't post spam and/or off-topic posts” is the removal rule, and anything that looks like drive-by promotion or sits outside JAMstack can fall under it. “Post only in English” matters more than people expect, because the moderators state plainly that non-English posts get removed. “Be respectful of other members” rounds it out, mostly for how you behave in your own comment section when someone critiques your work.

What To Post

A good post here is a JAMstack topic that invites replies. If you built something, show it and ask what people would do differently, since showcasing is explicitly welcome. If you hit a technical wall with your stack, describe the problem and ask how others solved it. If you changed your hosting setup, your build process, or your framework choice, share what happened and what you learned, then ask if others saw the same thing. Job posts are fine too if you are hiring. Whatever you post, write it in English and end with something people can answer.

What To Avoid

The removal list here is short and clear. Posts not in English get removed, so write everything in English even if it is not your first language. Spam and off-topic posts get removed, so keep every post connected to JAMstack and do not repeat the same promo. Disrespectful comments get removed, so stay calm if someone picks apart your project. The quieter risk is a post that follows every rule but still fails, like a link to your landing page with no question and no discussion hook. That kind of post can survive the filters and still do nothing for you.

Common questions about r/JAMstack_dev

Can I post about my own product here?

Yes. The community states plainly that showcasing your work is allowed, so you do not need to ask permission first.

Can I include a link to my site or repo?

The rules allow showcasing and links, but rule five asks that your post encourages discussion, so frame it as something members can respond to.

Can I post a job listing?

Yes, job posting is explicitly allowed by the community rules.

Is AI-generated content allowed?

The rules do not say anything about AI content either way, so there is no published answer to that question.

How do I keep a promotional post from being removed?

Keep it in English, keep it on topic for JAMstack, and write it so people have something to discuss.
