Works well

  • A technical question about an LLM API or model behavior that invites discussion.
  • A prompt engineering breakdown that shares a specific technique and results without linking out.
  • A troubleshooting post about an issue you hit while building with an LLM, asking the community for help.
  • A discussion of a real-world LLM application, focused on the use case and technical challenges, not a product.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

It also bans links to personal blogs, YouTube channels, or social media for traffic generation. The core instruction is to keep your posts focused on genuine discussions about Large Language Models.

What To Post

A good post here is a genuine discussion about Large Language Models. You can share a prompt you built, ask a troubleshooting question, or talk about a real-world application you are exploring. If you want to market your product, you have to do it indirectly. Start a technical conversation about a problem your product solves, without linking to it or naming it. Focus on the LLM topic itself and let people ask you about your work in the comments.

What To Avoid

You will get removed or banned if you post promotional content for products, services, websites, or platforms. Affiliate links and referral codes are prohibited. Content designed to manipulate search engine rankings is not allowed. Repetitive posting of the same or similar content will get you in trouble.
