Are there any published rules I should read first?
The public rules page shows no rules, and the moderator one-liner only asks that posts stay relevant to SaaS development.

This is a community for developers working in SaaS. That is the whole public description, and it tells you the room is built around the people who build and maintain software as a service products. The people posting here are developers first, so the conversation centers on the work of building SaaS rather than on selling it. There are no published rules on the community's rules page, and the moderator's one line of guidance is simply to keep posts relevant to SaaS development.
A good post here is about the actual work of building SaaS. Think of a technical problem you hit while building your product, how you diagnosed it, and what you would do differently. Share a decision you made about architecture, pricing implementation, onboarding flows, or infrastructure, and explain the reasoning so another developer can learn from it. If you want to mention your own product, keep it in service of the lesson. A post like here is how we cut our API response times by caching X, with the full story and honest numbers, fits the room far better than a link with a one line description. Because the community has no published rules, your best protection is quality. Write the kind of post a developer would save, and relevance to SaaS development takes care of itself.
Since the community displayed no rules, there is no rule text to quote about what gets removed. What we do have is the moderator's one liner, which asks for posts relevant to SaaS development. So the clearest risk is posting something off topic, like a general marketing pitch or content about a different kind of business. The survival tips in our own brief point the same way, saying to focus on high quality SaaS development topics and to keep posts helpful and relevant to the developer community. With no written rules, moderation is likely a judgment call, and the judgment the moderator has stated is relevance and helpfulness.

The public rules page shows no rules, and the moderator one-liner only asks that posts stay relevant to SaaS development.
The evidence does not say, so the safe read is that promotion is unknown and you should lead with genuine SaaS development value instead.
The description says the community is for developers working in SaaS, so posts about building, shipping, and running SaaS software fit best.
The evidence gives no top post examples, so start with the moderator guidance and keep posts helpful and relevant to developers.
No published rule says so, but the moderator asked for helpful and relevant posts, so a helpful technical answer with your tool mentioned honestly is the safest shape.
