Conditions often decide whether a post fits (a required thread, flair, posting day, account age or karma), and r/github's current rules on Reddit always win over this page.

- its rules on Reddit
A subreddit to discuss GitHub's platform, products and features. This is not the place to ask about projects that are hosted on GitHub. Not affiliated with GitHub, Inc. Please note that r/git exists and is a better place to ask Git-related questions.
What its rules say about promotion
No low-effort posts
Avoid submitting content lacking effort. Examples include posting just a URL, contribution charts, promoting profiles, complaints about captchas or questions that can easily be Googled or answered before
Promote your projects in the pinned megathread
To keep the subreddit clean and focused, self-promotion and project sharing should only happen in the dedicated megathread pinned at the top.
Be respectful and follow Reddiquette
No rude behavior, trolling, pointless complaining, spam, or promoting scams.
All 8 rules of r/github
- Content must be on-topic

Avoid submitting content lacking effort. Examples include posting just a URL, contribution charts, promoting profiles, complaints about captchas or questions that can easily be Googled or answered before - No coding or Git help requests
Posts asking for help with writing, fixing, or understanding code should be directed to more appropriate communities like r/learnprogramming or StackOverflow. Keep discussions focused on GitHub itself. - Promote your projects in the pinned megathread
To keep the subreddit clean and focused, self-promotion and project sharing should only happen in the dedicated megathread pinned at the top. - Use appropriate flairs
Posts without proper flair may be removed (doesn't apply to posts that don't fit any of the existing flairs). - Post must be in English
Post titles must be in English. Non-English content in the body is allowed if an English translation is included. - Be respectful and follow Reddiquette
No rude behavior, trolling, pointless complaining, spam, or promoting scams. - Account suspension posts

What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
