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

Rule summary

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Works well

  • A deep technical tutorial about React Native that explains concepts well and links to your company website without promoting your company.
  • A detailed post explaining a React Native issue you are facing, followed by a link to the Stackoverflow question for context.
  • An article about mobile development that is related to React Native and provides real value to the community.

Avoid

  • Do not post a link to Stackoverflow by itself.
  • Do not write a short tutorial that does not explain anything.
  • Do not post content that is not related to React Native.
  • Do not promote your company in your article or post.
  • Do not harass other people or disrespect their opinions.

What r/reactnative Is For

This community is for learning and developing native mobile applications using React Native by Facebook. People who post here are developers and learners working with React Native. The rules say content must be related to React Native, though content related to mobile development more broadly may sometimes be allowed.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

The rule called "No self promotion" is the one that decides whether your marketing post survives. It says you may post articles linking to your company website if the article itself is not self promoting in any way. The rule called "No low quality content" matters because short articles with no value or tutorials that do not explain anything will be removed. The rule called "No unrelated content" matters because your post must be nearly or entirely related to React Native, though related mobile development content may be allowed. The rule called "No posts to Stackoverflow" matters because you must explain your issue in your post before you include any Stackoverflow link.

What To Post

A good post here is a genuinely useful article about React Native that happens to link to your company website, as long as the article itself is not self promoting. You can also post a detailed explanation of a technical issue you face, and only after you explain it can you include a Stackoverflow link. Tutorials are welcome if they explain concepts well and provide real value. If you are unsure whether your article counts as self promotion, contact the moderators in advance.

What To Avoid

Avoid anything that promotes your company in any way, shape or form. Do not post low quality content like short articles with no value or tutorials that do not explain anything. Do not harass other people or disrespect their opinions. Do not post content that is not nearly related to React Native. Do not post bare Stackoverflow links without explaining your issue first.
