Are there any rules I need to follow here?
The public rules page shows no rules at all. That does not mean anything goes, because the moderators have said they keep discussions focused on the Solana blockchain.

Rule summary
No subreddit-specific rules were displayed on the public rules page when Rankhog verified it on 2026-10-27.
Works well
- A plain question about how something works on the Solana blockchain, written like you are genuinely stuck.
- News about the Solana blockchain shared with a short summary of why it matters to people here.
- A build log that talks about what you are solving on Solana before it mentions your product.
- An open question asking how people here handle a specific Solana problem you are facing.
- A resource that is useful on its own and only mentions your tool in passing as the source.
Avoid
- Posting general crypto or marketing content that is not about the Solana blockchain, which the moderators have said they filter out.
- Assuming an empty rules page means no moderation, when the moderator one-liner says they keep discussions focused.
- Dropping a bare link with no context, because nothing here explains what the community values in shared links.
- Framing your post as an announcement instead of a question, a lesson, or news about Solana.
- Posting the same self-promotional content you would drop in any crypto subreddit, since the community is official and focused.
What r/solana Is For
This is the official Solana subreddit, and the community description says it plainly. It is a place to post information, news, or questions about the Solana blockchain. The description calls Solana a web-scale blockchain with speeds of 50k TPS, so the people here care about the technology and how it performs. The subreddit is operated by the Solana Foundation, which makes it the closest thing to a front door for the ecosystem on Reddit. That means the room is made up of people who follow Solana closely, build on it, or want to learn about it. If your post is about the Solana blockchain, you are in the right place. If it is about crypto in general, or your own thing that merely runs nearby, it will feel off topic.
What To Post
A good post here is about the Solana blockchain first and your project second, if at all. The moderator one-liner says they keep discussions focused on the Solana blockchain, so frame anything you share around a question, a piece of news, or a lesson about the blockchain itself. If you built something on Solana, explain the problem you were solving and what you learned, and let people ask about your product rather than leading with it. Straight news and questions are the safest shapes, because the community description names information, news, and questions as the three things this place is for. Write like a person who uses Solana, not like a company announcing at an audience.
What To Avoid
With no published rules to quote, the risk here is anything that drifts off topic. Do not post general crypto or marketing content that has nothing to do with the Solana blockchain, because the moderators have said they keep discussions focused there. Do not treat the empty rules page as permission to spam links, since moderation clearly still happens without published rules. Avoid hype posts that read like ads for a token or a tool, because a community run by the Solana Foundation has probably seen plenty of them. If your post could be moved to any other crypto subreddit without changing a word, it does not belong here.

Common questions about r/solana
Can I promote my project here?
There is no published promotion rule either way, so the only guidance is the moderator one-liner. Keep your post focused on the Solana blockchain and your promotion is far less likely to feel out of place.
Can I post links to my own site or tool?
The rules do not say anything about links. Stay on topic with whatever you link, since the moderators have stated they keep discussions focused on the Solana blockchain.
Is this an official community?
Yes. The description says the subreddit is operated by the Solana Foundation, so treat it as the official home for Solana discussion on Reddit.
What kind of posts fit best?
The description names three things, information, news, and questions about the Solana blockchain. Anything you post should be one of those three.
