r/uruguay rules, stats, and what to post

This is the national subreddit for Uruguay, described as the subreddit of the beautiful República Oriental del Uruguay. It covers news, humor, sports, and politics, so it works like a town square for the whole country. The people posting here are Uruguayans, people living in Uruguay, and people with a real reason to care about the country. The rules say content must relate to Uruguay or impact Uruguayan citizens in some way. There is an AskUruguay flair where offtopic questions are allowed, as long as discussing the topic through the Uruguayan social and cultural lens is positive for the community. There is also a Hecho en UY flair for original content made by Uruguayans or related to Uruguay.

The rule that decides everything here is “Regla 2 - El contenido debe estar relacionado a Uruguay”. If your post has no connection to Uruguay or to Uruguayan citizens, it does not survive. If you are sharing original work, “Regla 2 - El contenido debe estar relacionado a Uruguay” also contains the promotion clause, because the Hecho en UY flair allows original content from Uruguayans or about Uruguay as long as its only purpose is not to generate visits or attract customers. If you share news, “Regla 3 - No está permitida la editorialización de títulos” applies, and it demands the exact headline, the news flair, and links to sources when your opinion post quotes an article. Finally, “Regla 4 - Dudas, quejas o sugerencias deben enviarse por Mod Mail” means you never argue about the subreddit itself in public posts. And “Regla 1 - Política de contenido de Reddit y reddiquette” asks you to participate in good faith, with no discrimination, personal attacks, or harassment.

A good post here is genuinely about Uruguay first. If you are a founder, the honest path is the Hecho en UY flair, and the rule is clear about what qualifies. Your content must be original, made by a Uruguayan or about Uruguay, and its only reason for existing cannot be driving traffic or winning customers. So build something useful for Uruguayans, or share something you made that has a real connection to the country, and talk about it like a person, not a landing page. Asking questions through the AskUruguay flair works well too, as long as you frame them around the Uruguayan social and cultural context and they add something positive to the community. If you share news, copy the exact headline and use the news flair, no exceptions. If you want to give an opinion on a news story, write a self text post, develop the idea and the why, put the link in the text, and use the “Opinión editorial” flair.

The fastest way to get removed is posting something with no link to Uruguay or Uruguayan citizens. The second fastest is dropping a link with a catchy title you wrote yourself, because news posts must copy the exact headline and use the news flair. If you want to share an opinion about a news story, do not put it in the title, write a self text post with the opinion fully developed and the link inside the text, and use the “Opinión editorial” flair. If you quote a news article, include links to the sources. Never post complaints, questions, or suggestions about the subreddit itself, because those go to mod mail only. And do not post anything discriminatory, harassing, or personally attacking anyone, because that breaks the Reddit content policy and reddiquette rule the community follows.

The Hecho en UY rule is one of the clearest promotion policies I have seen written into a community rulebook, because it tells you exactly where original work goes and exactly what disqualifies it. The exact headline rule for news is strict, and I respect that, because it keeps the front page honest. I also like that the AskUruguay flair gives outsiders a real door into the community, as long as you frame your question through the Uruguayan context. Read the rules in full before you post anything here, because this is a room that has clearly thought about what it wants.
