What r/vibecoding's rules say about promotion

2 of 5 published rules mention promotion, advertising or spam. Quoted from the community's own rules page, not summarised.

  1. Vibe coding dev tools must be approved

    rule 2 of 5

    All vibe coding startups must first submit their tool for mod approval via the Vibe Coding Community on X.com. How to submit: * Join the Vibe Coding community on X: https://x.com/i/communities/1898129646782497027 * Create a post about your tool. * Our mod team will review it for value and relevance to the community. * If approved, we’ll DM you on X. * Once approved, you can do one "shill" post as a community introduction. * After that, only post major feature updates.
  2. No shilling

    rule 3 of 5

    We welcome posts about your vibe-coded projects — but they must include educational content explaining how you built it. This includes: * The tools you used * Your process and workflow * Any code, design, or build insights Not allowed: “Just dropping a link” with no details is considered low-effort promo and will be removed. Encouraged format: "Here’s the project; here’s how I made it." As new dev tools are approved, we’ll also add Reddit flairs so you can tag your projects with them.

The other 3

  • No low effort posts
  • No vibe coding pessimism
  • No assholes
