By Anthony Riera, founder and operator of Rankhog.

Subreddit guides combine public Reddit source URLs, captured rules, visible verification dates, and Rankhog's account-safety workflow.

Rule summary

  • No Inappropriate Content: No NSFW, Racism, Sexism, Homophobia, none of that. You can swear as long as you don't do it to offend anyone (i.e the R-Word).
  • Only Self-Promote on the Sharing Thread: You can only share your website on our Website Sharing Thread. P.S - Don't self-promote more than once on the thread (unless it's more than one website, but even then, you can put them both in just one comment). To self promote things other than your Neocities website, talk with the mods.
  • No Spam: Title says it all.
  • Keep your titles clear and understandable.: This is mostly about the "Help" posts, tell us what you need help with, don't just go "I NEED HELP PLZZZ AAAAA"

Works well

  • Posting a link to your Neocities website in the official Website Sharing Thread.
  • Asking a specific question about web design or Neocities functionality with a clear, descriptive title.
  • Sharing a finished project while following the rules for the sharing thread.
  • Engaging in discussions about the use of Neocities as an open-source platform.

Avoid

  • Posting any inappropriate content, such as NSFW, Racism, Sexism, or Homophobia.
  • Self promoting outside of the designated Website Sharing Thread.
  • Posting spam, which is explicitly banned by the community rules.
  • Using unclear titles, especially when asking for help.

What r/neocities Is For

This community is for people who use Neocities, which is an open-source website maker. It is a place where users can have unlimited creativity when building websites and enjoy the experience without ads.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

The rules that decide if a post survives are “No Inappropriate Content”, “Only Self-Promote on the Sharing Thread”, “No Spam”, and “Keep your titles clear and understandable.”

What To Post

For respectful marketing, you should use the Website Sharing Thread to share your Neocities website. If you are not promoting your site, you can post questions, provided your title clearly explains what you need help with.

What To Avoid

You must avoid posting any inappropriate content, such like NSFW, Racism, Sexism, or Homophobia. You should also avoid spam, and you must never self promote outside of the designated Website Sharing Thread.

Common questions about r/neocities

Where is the correct place to share my Neocities website?

You can only share your website on the Website Sharing Thread. If you want to promote something other than your Neocities website, you must talk with the moderators first.

What kind of language or content is allowed in the community?

You can swear as long as you do not use it to offend anyone, for example, avoiding the R-Word. However, all NSFW content is prohibited.

How should I phrase a post if I need technical assistance?

If you are asking for help, your title needs to be clear and understandable, telling the community exactly what you need help with.
