r/Linear rules, stats, and what to post

This community is built around Linear, which its own description calls the product development system for teams and agents. That means the people here care about how software teams plan, track, and ship their work, and about how that work connects to tools and agents. The room has no published rules on its public rules page, so the only written guidance we have is the moderator one-liner, which asks everyone to keep posts relevant to the Linear product development system. In practice you should expect founders, product managers, engineers, and team leads who use Linear or are thinking about using it. If your post would make sense to someone whose day revolves around running product development in Linear, you are in the right room.

A good post here is a high quality discussion about Linear, because that is exactly what the survival tip asks for. If you are a founder, the strongest shape is a post that teaches something. Share a workflow you built in Linear, a template that saved your team time, or an honest comparison of how your team tracks work now versus before. Write it as a story with real details, not as a pitch. If your product connects to Linear, the respectful path is to lead with the problem you solved and how it works inside Linear, and let people ask about your tool in the comments. Questions also work well here, like asking how other teams structure their cycles or handle handoffs, because they invite the kind of discussion this room is meant for. Whatever you post, tie it clearly to the Linear product development system, since relevance is the one thing the moderator one-liner asks for.

There are no published rules to quote here, because the community displayed none on its public rules page. That does not mean anything goes. The moderator one-liner is the clearest signal we have, and it asks for posts that stay relevant to the Linear product development system, so off topic posts are the obvious risk. The survival tips add two more guardrails, keep the quality of discussions about Linear high and be respectful to other members at all times. So the things to avoid are off topic posts, low effort content, and treating people badly. Since there are no written rules about links, promotion, or AI content, I cannot tell you where those lines sit, and the honest move is to keep any self promotion light and clearly useful rather than testing the limits.

A community with zero published rules always makes me pause, because it usually means the moderators enforce one unwritten thing and here the one-liner tells us exactly what that is, relevance to Linear. I also find it interesting that the description mentions agents, which hints this room cares about where product development tooling is heading. With no top posts to learn from, I would lurk for a week before writing anything here.
