- 1
No self promotion
It is not allowed to promote your company in any way, shape or form. However, you may post articles that link to your company's website if the article isn't self promoting in any way, shape or form. Are you not sure if your article is self promoting? Don't hesitate to contact the moderators in advance.

No low quality content
It is not allowed to post low quality content, such as short articles that have no value or tutorials that don't explain anything.
- 3
No harassment
It is not allowed to harass other people in any way, shape or form. Stay polite at all times and respect other opinions.
- 4
No unrelated content
It is not allowed to post content that is not nearly related to React Native. If the post is not entirely related to React Native, but related to Mobile Development, your post may be excluded from this rule.

No posts to Stackoverflow
Instead of just posting links to Stackoverflow, try and explain your issue here. However, you are allowed to post links to Stackoverflow AFTER you explain your issue. People who then feel the need to answer the question on Stackoverflow can do that.

What r/reactnative Is For
This community is for learning and developing native mobile applications using React Native by Facebook. It is a space for people interested in the development of mobile applications using this specific framework.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rules that decide whether a marketing adjacent post survives are “No self promotion”, “No low quality content”, “No unrelated content”, and “No posts to Stackoverflow”.
What To Post
As a founder, you can post articles that link to your company's website only if the article itself is not self promoting. When you have a technical issue, always explain your issue thoroughly in the post before you add a link to Stackoverflow. If you write a tutorial, make sure it explains concepts well and provides real value.
What To Avoid
You should avoid posting content that is unrelated to React Native. You must also avoid posting low quality content, which includes short articles that have no value or tutorials that do not explain anything. Never post in a way that is self promoting, and always stay polite to avoid “No harassment”.
A note from Anthony
It seems like this community is very focused on technical substance, which is good for learning. The rule about “No posts to Stackoverflow” is interesting because it forces people to contribute before just linking out. Founders need to be very careful to ensure their articles are genuinely helpful and not just disguised promotion.
