This community is for developers who are building real products with AI, automation, and what the community calls vibe coding. The people who post here are builders who ship AI-assisted work and want to talk about the process, the models, the mistakes, and the lessons. It is not a room for pure promotion or drive-by links, it is a room for people who are making things and want to share the work behind those things.
The rules that matter most for a marketing-adjacent post are "Be kind", "Contribute value", "Promotion within limits", "Show your work", "Showcase Sundays", and "Be intentional". The "Promotion within limits" rule is the one that lets you share your project, but only if you tell people what you built, which model you used, and what went wrong. The "Show your work" rule requires a repo link, a live demo, screenshots with an explanation, or a short breakdown of what broke and how you fixed it. The "Showcase Sundays" rule means showcase posts belong on Sundays and should use the Showcase Sunday flair. The "Be intentional" rule asks you to keep posts to four paragraphs or fewer unless the post genuinely needs more, and it says copy-and-pasted AI-generated text will not count as a contribution.
A good post here is a real build story tied to a specific project. You should share what you built, which model you used, what went wrong along the way, and what people can take away from your experience. Include a repo link, a live demo, or screenshots with an explanation so the community can see the work. If you are doing a showcase, post it on a Sunday and use the Showcase Sunday flair. Keep your post to four paragraphs or fewer unless it genuinely needs more, like a post-mortem, and write it in your own words rather than pasting AI-generated text. If you are asking a question, pair it with what you have already tried and meaningful context so the community can give you a real answer.
Avoid posting without substance, since the "Contribute value" rule says AMA-style posts without substance will be removed. Do not use referral links, since the "Promotion within limits" rule bans them outright. Do not promote other Discords or subreddits. Avoid posting showcase projects outside of Sundays, because the "Showcase Sundays" rule and the policy brief say those posts are removed when they are not on the right day. Do not copy and paste AI-generated text, because the "Be intentional" rule says it will not count as a contribution. Avoid long, rambling posts that go beyond four paragraphs unless you are writing a genuine post-mortem or synopsis.

Yes, sharing your project is welcome, but you must bring it to life by telling the community what you built, which model you used, and what went wrong along the way, and you should include a repo link, a live demo, or screenshots with an explanation.
Project posts need at least one of the following: a repo link, a live demo, screenshots with some explanation, or a short paragraph on what broke and how you fixed it.
Showcase posts are specifically welcome on Sundays, and you should use the Showcase Sunday flair when in doubt.
No, referral links are not allowed, and you should not promote other Discords or subreddits.
No, copy-and-pasted AI-generated text will not count as a contribution here, so your writing should be your own and thoughtful.
