Can I promote my React tool or library here?
Yes, but only if you are an active and positive member of the subreddit first, and your post fits the topic guidelines such as original works or commercial activity.

Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
- Please be kind and courteous, friendly and professional: [Be kind to your fellow human](https://www.reddithelp.com/en/categories/reddit-101/reddit-basics/reddiquette). There’s no need to be mean or rude, keep unstructured critique to a minimum. When providing help, answer their question before making stylistic or tool suggestions.
- Harassment will not be tolerated: We all started somewhere, and we're all allowed to be who we are. We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all, regardless of level of experience, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, neurodivergence, race, ethnicity, physical attributes, religion, nationality, or other aspect of identity.
- Avoid using an alias or display name that might be offensive: reddit has a long history of intentionally offensive usernames, but not here. Names that detract from a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all will be addressed.
- Respect that people have differences of opinion: Every design or implementation choice carries a trade-off and numerous costs. There is seldom a single right answer, and there are valid reasons to choose between a range of tradeoffs between tools, approaches, and patterns.
- Posts must conform to our guidelines: If you join this community to take value rather than contribute, the community will quickly react as though you are an intruder. If you have a body of content you'd like to promote, our recommended way of doing so is to be an active and positive member of the subreddit. If someone has a question that you've created an external answer to, we'd love if you share it! Please review the sidebar for a complete list of guidelines.

Works well
- A debugging question with real code and a clear description of what you tried
- A link to your own detailed answer when it directly solves someone's question in the thread
- An original work post, like a library or deep dive, that fits the Original works guideline
- A portfolio or side project showcase posted on Portfolio Sunday
- A thoughtful comment answering someone's question before suggesting any tools or styles
- A discussion post about a trade-off between React patterns that invites other opinions
Avoid
- Posting a link to your blog, tool, or landing page with no history of participating in the community
- Asking for help with a bug without including any code or a reproduction
- Dropping your content into the subreddit the same week you joined
- Posting your portfolio or side project on a day other than Sunday
- Writing a post that is mostly marketing copy with a thin technical wrapper
- Being rude or dismissive when someone critiques your code or your product approach
What r/reactjs Is For
This is a community for discussing anything related to the React UI framework and its ecosystem. The people here are React developers, from beginners asking how to fix a bug to experienced folks talking about patterns and tools. The description also points members to the Reactiflux Discord for extra help and discussion, which tells you the community takes its helping role seriously. The rules reinforce that tone, asking everyone to be kind, professional, and welcoming to people of all experience levels.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule that decides most marketing outcomes here is “Posts must conform to our guidelines”, which says that if you join to take value rather than contribute, the community will treat you like an intruder, and that the recommended way to promote a body of content is to be an active and positive member first. The topic guidelines then narrow what you can post: “Needs code”, “Portfolio Sunday”, “Original works”, “AI”, “Career”, and “Commercial activity”. “Be kind to your fellow human” matters too, because it asks you to answer the question before making stylistic or tool suggestions, which is exactly where a helpful comment turns into a pitch. “Respect that people have differences of opinion” is worth remembering when someone prefers a different library than yours.
What To Post
A good post here is a genuine contribution to React discussion. If you are asking for help, include the code or a reproduction, because the guidelines say posts need code. If you have written an external answer, like a blog post or a fix, the rules say the community would love for you to share it when it answers someone's question. If you want to show your own work, save it for Portfolio Sunday or frame it as an original work that fits the topic guidelines. The safest path is to be an active and positive member first, answering questions and joining discussions, so that when you do share something of yours it lands as a contribution rather than an ad.
What To Avoid
The clearest way to get removed is to post without code when the topic calls for it, or to promote your content without being an active and positive member first. Dropping a link to your tool or blog with no history in the community is the textbook intruder pattern the rules warn about. Portfolio and showcase posts outside Portfolio Sunday will likely be removed. Rudeness, harassment, or an offensive username are all grounds for action under the conduct rules. And pushing your preferred tool or pattern as the only right answer runs against the rule that every choice carries trade-offs.

Common questions about r/reactjs
Can I link to my own tutorial when it answers someone's question?
Yes, the rules explicitly welcome it when someone has a question that you have created an external answer to, so share it as a helpful reply.
Can I show off my side project built with React?
No, portfolio posts are restricted to Portfolio Sunday, so save them for that day.
What should every help post include?
Always include code or a reproduction, because posts that lack code get removed.
Can I mention my product when helping someone in the comments?
The rules say to answer their question before making stylistic or tool suggestions, so lead with the fix and hold any pitch.
