- Ask a specific question about TypeScript or JavaScript tooling that you are genuinely trying to decide on for your project.
Avoid
- Do not post content that has nothing to do with Node.js, JavaScript, or TypeScript.
- Do not treat the subreddit as a free advertising board for your product or service.

What r/node Is For
This is the unofficial Node.js subreddit. People come here to talk about Node.js, JavaScript, TypeScript, and the rest of the ecosystem.
What To Post
A good post here is a solid discussion about something in the Node.js ecosystem. If you are a founder doing respectful Reddit marketing, share a real technical problem, a lesson learned from building with Node.js, or an open question about JavaScript or TypeScript that invites other developers to talk.
What To Avoid
Since there are no published rules, the main thing to avoid is posting content that is not relevant to the Node.js ecosystem. The policy brief notes that promotion, links, and AI content are all unknown, so be cautious and prioritize genuine discussion over any kind of pushy marketing.

Common questions about r/node
Are there any specific rules I need to follow?
There are no published rules, but the moderator guidance is to keep posts relevant to the Node.js ecosystem and focus on high quality discussions.
Can I promote my product here?
Promotion is not explicitly addressed in the rules, so you should focus on starting genuine, high quality Node.js discussions rather than promoting directly.
