Rule summary
- Be Nice: Treat others with respect and kindness. Harassment, insults, bullying, hate speech, and trolling are not permitted.
- Stay on Topic: Keep all discussions relevant to the community’s focus. Off-topic posts or comments may be removed to maintain clarity and engagement.
- Self-Promotion: Self-promotion, including advertising your website, social media, or services, is generally prohibited. Moderators reserve the right to determine what qualifies as acceptable or unacceptable self-promotion on a case-by-case basis.
- No Politics: Political content and debates are not permitted, including posts or comments expressing political stances about platforms like Twitter. Keep discussions neutral and avoid referencing politically charged topics or figures.
- No Spam: Avoid repetitive posts, unsolicited advertising, irrelevant content, or low-effort posts. Repeated violations may result in a ban.
- Follow Reddit’s Guidelines: All content and interactions must adhere to Reddit’s official Content Policy and Reddiquette. Moderators reserve the right to remove content or ban users who violate these guidelines.
- Limit Cross-Posting: Cross-posting content from similar communities is generally prohibited. Moderators reserve the right to remove such posts on a case-by-case basis. Please don’t take offense if your cross-post is removed, as decisions are made to maintain our community’s unique focus.
Works well
- An original post sharing a custom Roo Code integration or automation script, with full detail in the body and no link to your own site.
- A feedback post about an experimental Roo Code capability, describing what you tried, what worked, and what you would change.
- A discussion question about a specific Roo Code workflow, asking the community how they handle a real problem you faced.
- A short, focused tip for using Roo Code inside VS Code, written as plain text with no promotional framing.
Avoid
- Posting links to your own website, social media, or services, since the Self-Promotion rule prohibits it.
- Cross-posting content from similar communities, as the Limit Cross-Posting rule allows moderators to remove such posts.
- Bringing up political topics or politically charged platforms and figures, because the No Politics rule bans that.
- Posting repetitive, unsolicited, or low-effort content, which the No Spam rule says may lead to a ban.
What r/RooCode Is For
This community is for people working with Roo Code, an open source AI-powered autonomous coding agent that runs inside VS Code. From the description, members share feedback, discuss ideas, and collaborate on enhancing workflows, custom integrations, automation scripts, and experimental coding capabilities. The room is focused on building and improving how Roo Code is used, not on general coding chat or tool promotion.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rules that matter most for a marketing-adjacent post are Self-Promotion, No Spam, Stay on Topic, and Limit Cross-Posting. The Self-Promotion rule says self promotion, including advertising your website, social media, or services, is generally prohibited, with moderators deciding acceptable cases case by case. The No Spam rule says to avoid repetitive posts, unsolicited advertising, irrelevant content, or low-effort posts, and notes that repeated violations may result in a ban. The Stay on Topic rule says off-topic posts or comments may be removed. The Limit Cross-Posting rule says cross-posting from similar communities is generally prohibited and moderators may remove such posts.
What To Post
A good post here is an original, Roo Code-specific contribution that helps other users. You could share a custom integration you built with Roo Code, an automation script that solves a real workflow problem, or feedback on an experimental coding capability. The goal is to start a useful discussion, not to drive traffic anywhere. If you are a founder, the safest path is to talk about how you used Roo Code itself, what worked, what broke, and what you tried next. Make the post useful on its own, with no link back to your own site or product.
What To Avoid
Avoid anything the Self-Promotion rule covers, like advertising your website, social media, or services. Do not cross-post from similar communities, since the Limit Cross-Posting rule says that is generally prohibited. Stay away from political content or politically charged references, because the No Politics rule bans that. Do not post repetitive, unsolicited, irrelevant, or low-effort content, as the No Spam rule says repeated violations may result in a ban. Keep posts focused on Roo Code, because the Stay on Topic rule says off-topic posts may be removed.
