Posting rules, in plain words
Self-promotion is judged case by case.
- No Sharing Of Referral Links That Benefit You Or Another Individual: No sharing referral links of any kind that benefit you if someone uses them. If we allow this kind of thing the subreddit will be overrun in no time. Links to discounts or products that do not contain individual referral links or codes are fine.
- Make Sure Your Posts and Comments Are Constructive: Be constructive when replying to someone asking for help with something. Criticizing them or their decisions isn't helpful. Simply replying with some variant of, "I don't have that problem" isn't helpful in these situations either. (Note: If someone asks for opinions or experiences about something then, "I don't have that problem" is different and obviously acceptable.)
Quoted from the community’s own published rules. Always re-read them before posting.
What a good comment looks like here

- — Shares first-hand, long-term experience with the product.
- — Compares the product to alternatives with specific pros and cons.
- — Acknowledges common issues and offers workarounds.
- — Provides context or explanation for a problem.
- — Discloses alternative solutions or setups (e.g., separate camera systems).
