r/PromptEngineering rules, stats, and what to post

This community is about prompt engineering, which the description defines as applying engineering practices to the development of prompts. Prompts are the inputs you give to generative models like GPT or Midjourney. So the people here care about how you write, test, and improve the instructions you feed to AI models. That includes text models and image models, since both are named in the description. The people posting are likely builders, tinkerers, and anyone working with generative AI who treats prompting as a craft rather than a one-off guess. The description frames this as engineering, so the room leans toward people who want methods, structure, and repeatable practice, not just casual chat about AI.

Since the only guidance is to keep posts relevant to prompt engineering, aim your post straight at that topic. Share a prompt you actually use, show what it produced, and explain a change you made that improved the result. That kind of post is relevant by definition and gives people something to respond to. If you are a founder, the safest shape is a post about the problem your product solves, written as a prompt engineering discussion, where the product only appears if someone asks or where it is a small honest mention at the end. Ask questions too. Asking how other people handle a prompting problem you genuinely face is a relevant post, and it starts a conversation instead of a pitch.

There are no published rules here that spell out what gets removed, so I cannot point to a specific rule and say it bans this or that. What I can say is that the moderator one-liner asks for relevance to prompt engineering, so the clear risk is posting something that is not about prompts. A generic product announcement, a link drop with no discussion around it, or a post about your startup that only touches prompting in passing would all sit badly against that request. Without published rules you also have no written protection, which means the safe move is to stay clearly on topic rather than test where the line is.

This one is unusual because the rules page is completely empty, which is rare and a little unnerving. The only signal I have is the moderator one-liner asking people to keep posts relevant to prompt engineering, so that single sentence is doing all the work a rulebook normally does. With no observed top posts either, I would treat this as a room where a genuinely useful prompt breakdown is your best entrance ticket.
