r/learnfrench rules, stats, and what to post

This is a community for people learning the French language. The rules say it plainly, posts should be related to learning the French language, so the people here are learners at different stages, plus the helpers who answer them. The public description gives nothing away beyond a row of raised fist emojis, so the rules are the real window into the room. What you find here is grammar questions, vocabulary help, practice advice, and resource talk, all pointed at one goal, getting better at French.

The rule that decides everything for a marketer is “Content that is representative of the subreddit”, which says posts should be related to learning the French language. Then there is “No advertising / self-promotion”, which bans promotion outright, and “No survey”, which prohibits surveys without explicit approval from the mods. “Posts and comments must be human written” bans AI generated content, though discussing AI as a learning tool and sharing resources that use AI is allowed. “No mere crossposts/reposts/links; add your own content” means a bare link gets removed unless you add your own writing to it. “No spammy or otherwise pointless posts” and “No piracy” round out the list, and “Mod discretion” reminds you the mods get the final call on what keeps the sub decluttered.

Post something that genuinely helps someone learn French, written by you, in your own words. If you built a tool or wrote something useful, share it as part of a real conversation about learning French, not as an advert, because “No advertising / self-promotion” bans promotion outright. If you share a link or a crosspost, add your own commentary or context so it clears “No mere crossposts/reposts/links; add your own content”. Answer learner questions with what you actually know. Keep every post on topic for French learning so it fits “Content that is representative of the subreddit”.

Do not advertise or self promote, because “No advertising / self-promotion” bans it. Do not post a survey of any kind without explicit approval from the mods, because “No survey” requires that approval first. Do not share pirated material, because “No piracy” bans it. Do not drop a link, crosspost, or repost with nothing added, because “No mere crossposts/reposts/links; add your own content” removes those. Do not post anything AI generated, because “Posts and comments must be human written” bans it, even though discussing AI tools is fine. Do not post spam or pointless filler, because “No spammy or otherwise pointless posts” covers it, and remember “Mod discretion” gives the mods the final say.

The public description here is just a row of raised fist emojis, so the rules carry all the real signal, and they carry a lot of it. The human written rule is the one I would flag to any founder, because it bans AI written posts and comments outright while still letting you discuss AI as a learning tool, which is a line you must not blur. My honest read is that this room wants people who are actually learning French, and it will spot a marketer who is not.
