Can I link my own product or blog here?
Generally no. The “Self-Promotion” rule prohibits advertising your website, social media, or services, and moderators decide exceptions case by case.

Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
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
- A write-up of a custom workflow you built with Roo Code, with the steps explained so others can reproduce it.
- A specific question about getting better results from the agent on a real coding task.
- An automation script or integration you put together, shared as a contribution rather than a pitch.
- Thoughtful feedback on a Roo Code feature, framed as a discussion starter about how it could work better.
- A plain-text lesson learned from building something with the tool, with no links, letting people ask for details in the comments.
Avoid
- Posting links to your own website, social media, or services, because self-promotion is generally prohibited here.
- Cross-posting the same content from other subreddits, since cross-posts are generally removed to keep the community focused.
- Starting or joining political debates, including comments about platforms or public figures, because politics is not permitted.
- Dropping the same or similar post repeatedly, which reads as spam and can lead to a ban.
- Posting low-effort content with no real connection to Roo Code, which falls under the spam rule and the topic rule.
- Writing a post that is really an advert with a thin question wrapped around it, because moderators judge self-promotion case by case and this pattern usually fails that test.
What r/RooCode Is For
This is the community for Roo Code, an open source AI-powered coding agent that lives inside VS Code. The description says people come here to share feedback, discuss ideas, and collaborate on workflows, custom integrations, automation scripts, and experimental coding capabilities. So the room is mostly developers and builders who use the tool or are curious about it, talking about how it works and how to make it better. If your post helps someone get more out of Roo Code, or sparks a real discussion about using it, you are in the right place.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
Four rules decide almost everything here. The first is “Self-Promotion”, which says promoting your website, social media, or services is generally prohibited, and that moderators judge each case on its own. The second is “No Spam”, which bans repetitive posts, unsolicited advertising, irrelevant content, and low-effort posts, and warns that repeat violations can get you banned. The third is “Stay on Topic”, which requires every post and comment to relate to the community focus. The fourth is “Limit Cross-Posting”, which says content cross-posted from similar communities is generally removed. Two more rules shape how you behave rather than what you post: “Be Nice” sets the tone for how you treat people, and “No Politics” keeps debates about platforms and figures out of the room.
What To Post
The safest and most effective post here is one that contributes before it asks for anything. Share a specific workflow you built with Roo Code, or a custom integration or automation script you put together, and explain how it works so others can try it. Ask a genuine question about the tool, like how to structure a task or handle a tricky coding scenario. Give thoughtful feedback on features or share an idea for improving the agent. If your product connects to Roo Code, talk about the problem you solved and what you learned, in plain text, without links or pitches, and let people ask you for more in the comments. Keep every post clearly about Roo Code and the work people do with it.
What To Avoid
The fastest way to get removed here is self-promotion, so do not drop links to your own site, your social media, or your services. Do not cross-post from other subreddits, because the rules say that is generally removed even when your intent was good. Keep politics out completely, including opinions about platforms or public figures, because the “No Politics” rule covers comments as well as posts. Avoid posting the same thing repeatedly or anything low-effort and irrelevant, since the “No Spam” rule treats that as grounds for a ban. And stay respectful in every thread, because harassment, insults, bullying, hate speech, and trolling are not permitted.

Common questions about r/RooCode
Are links allowed at all?
The rules do not state a policy on links in general, only on self-promotional links, so treat any link that points back to you as off limits.
Can I cross-post my post from another subreddit?
Generally no. The “Limit Cross-Posting” rule says cross-posts from similar communities are usually removed, even when they did well elsewhere.
Can I ask for feedback on my project that uses Roo Code?
Yes, if it is genuinely about Roo Code and not promotional. The description invites feedback and discussion about workflows, integrations, and capabilities.
Can I discuss the AI industry or platform drama?
No. The “No Politics” rule bans political content and debates, including stances about platforms or figures.
