Rule summary

  • Be respectful: Foster positive learning environment by being respectful to others. We want to encourage everyone to feel welcomed and not be afraid to participate.
  • Share your content at most once per week: Do share your works and achievements, but do not spam. Keep our subreddit fresh by posting same content at most once a week.
  • Post nothing that involves monetary transactions: Do not share referral links and other purely marketing content. Do not market your paid online course. Do not solicit services with offers of money. All of these prioritize commercial interests over intellectual ones.

Works well

  • An open source project or notebook you built, shared without any paid upsell.
  • A question about your own ML learning path that invites discussion from other learners and educators.
  • A blog post or resource roundup that is fully free and posted at most once a week.

Avoid

  • Do not post referral links or other purely marketing content.
  • Do not market a paid online course.
  • Do not offer money or solicit paid services.
  • Do not share the same content more than once a week.

What r/learnmachinelearning Is For

This is a community for learners and educators who are passionate about machine learning. People come here to ask questions, share resources, and grow together in understanding ML concepts, from basic principles to advanced techniques. If you are writing your first neural network or diving into transformers, you will find supportive peers here. The community points ML research to /r/machinelearning, resume review to /r/engineeringresumes, and ML engineers to /r/mlengineering.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

The rule named "Be respectful" sets the tone for the whole community. The rule named "Share your content at most once per week" is the one that decides whether a marketing-adjacent post survives. The rule named "Post nothing that involves monetary transactions" is the hard line on anything commercial.

What To Post

A good post here is a free resource or an open project that helps people learn machine learning. You could share a tutorial, a notebook, a blog post, or a tool you built, as long as it does not ask for money. Keep it to once a week and make it genuinely useful to learners.

What To Avoid

Avoid anything that disrespects others, since the rule named "Be respectful" asks everyone to foster a positive learning environment. Avoid posting the same content more than once a week, as the rule named "Share your content at most once per week" calls that spam. Avoid referral links, paid course marketing, and any solicitation involving money, because the rule named "Post nothing that involves monetary transactions" bans all of it.
