Works well
- A text post asking the community what they think about a new web standard or browser feature.
- A discussion about how web design trends are changing and what people prefer.
- A question about a tricky web development problem you are working through.
- A thoughtful take on privacy or security on the web that invites others to share their views.

What r/web Is For
This community is a subreddit for discussion about the web. Based on the public description and the rules, it is a place for talking about web topics rather than dropping links or promoting products.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule called No Spam is the one that will make or break you, because it says spamming links is forbidden and calls this a discussion sub. The rule called Stay on Topic matters too, since it asks you to keep your posts relevant to the web. The rule called Account Requirments also matters, because there are account requirements in order to participate.
What To Post
A good post here is a genuine discussion about the web that invites conversation. Instead of sharing a link to your product, write a post that asks a question or shares an observation about web technology, web standards, or web culture. If you do mention something you built, frame it as part of a broader discussion and make sure the post stands on its own without needing a link to be valuable.
What To Avoid
Avoid spamming links, because the rules say that is forbidden and repeat offenders will be banned. Avoid posting anything off topic, since the community asks you to stay on topic. Avoid posting from a new or low karma account, because there are account requirements in order to participate.

What kind of account do I need to post here?

Can I start a discussion about web technology or trends?
Yes, as long as it stays on topic about the web and focuses on discussion rather than just sharing links.
