Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.

Rule summary

  • Posts must be relevant specifically to the Next.js framework: Posts in this sub must be about the Next.js framework
  • No low effort posts: Show that you put some work into your post. If you repeatedly post low effort posts that don't at least turn into valuable discussions/answers you will get banned.
  • Stay polite: Argue with civility.
  • No posts shilling your product, project, portfolio, etc: Post your projects in the weekly show and tell
  • This is not a job board: Do not ask for jobs or advertise jobs
  • No rate my website or ask for feedback posts: This is not a sub for general feedback or rate my website requests. If you wish to share your project in this community you may do so in the weekly show and tell.

Works well

  • A detailed technical question about a specific Next.js feature where you explain what you tried and what went wrong.
  • A discussion post about a Next.js pattern or approach, with code examples and your reasoning.
  • A comparison of two Next.js strategies, showing benchmarks or concrete details from your own testing.
  • Sharing your Next.js project in the weekly show and tell thread with a clear description of what it does.

Avoid

  • Do not post anything that is not directly about the Next.js framework.
  • Do not ask people to rate your website or give general feedback on your project.
  • Do not look for jobs or advertise job openings here.
  • Do not post low effort content with no real substance or value.
  • Do not be rude or uncivil when disagreeing with someone.

What r/nextjs Is For

This community is for discussion about the Next.js framework, which is a React framework for building full stack web applications. People come here to talk about Next.js specifically, not general React or web development. The rules make clear that posts must be about the Next.js framework itself.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

The rule "Posts must be relevant specifically to the Next.js framework" is the gatekeeper. If your post is not about Next.js, it does not belong. The rule "No low effort posts" matters because they will ban you for repeated low effort posting. The rule "No posts shilling your product, project, portfolio, etc" is the one that stops marketing posts outside the weekly thread. The rule "No rate my website or ask for feedback posts" is another one that catches founders who just want eyes on their site.

What To Post

A good post here is a genuine technical question or discussion about Next.js that shows you have done your homework. If you want to share your project, the only place to do it is the weekly show and tell thread. For a standalone post, focus on a specific Next.js problem you are facing, explain what you have tried, and ask for help or input from the community. The more specific and effortful your post is, the better it fits.

What To Avoid

Avoid posting anything that is not specifically about the Next.js framework. The rule "No low effort posts" means you should not post without showing real work, and repeated low effort posts can get you banned. The rule "No posts shilling your product, project, portfolio, etc" means you should not promote your own work outside the weekly show and tell thread. The rule "This is not a job board" means no job seeking or job advertising. The rule "No rate my website or ask for feedback posts" means you should not ask for general feedback or website reviews outside the weekly thread. The rule "Stay polite" means you should keep arguments civil.

Common questions about r/nextjs

Can I share my Next.js project in a standalone post?

No. The rule "No posts shilling your product, project, portfolio, etc" means you must use the weekly show and tell thread for that.

Can I hire developers or post a job here?

No. The rule "This is not a job board" says you cannot ask for jobs or advertise jobs.

Can I ask for feedback on my website?

No. The rule "No rate my website or ask for feedback posts" removes those, though you may share in the weekly show and tell thread.

What happens if I keep posting low effort content?

The rule "No low effort posts" warns that repeated low effort posting can lead to a ban, especially if it does not spark valuable discussion.

Can I post a technical question about Next.js?

Yes, as long as it is specifically about the Next.js framework and you show the work you have already done.
