- its rules on Reddit
A community for solo developers to share, learn, and support each other. Solo devs manage their entire project alone—no teams, just individual effort. Using assets, outsourcing, or working with publishers is fine, but the core development should be solo. Anyone can participate, but posts promoting non-solo projects may be removed. The goal is to keep this space focused on true solo development, so members can compare experiences fairly and get relevant advice.
What its rules say about promotion
Game Showcases must be made by Solo Developers
We strongly discourage indie teams from misrepresenting themselves as solo developers and sharing their high-end projects on this subreddit. Such actions can be disheartening to our community. We value authenticity and fairness, so we kindly request that teams refrain from posing as solo developers when submitting their work. Let's foster an environment of transparency and support for genuine solo developers.

Don't overpost your content. Choose your best work and share 2 times per week to give people a chance to digest what you're sharing. This also allows others to shine through. Sharing your project is fine if you add context or insights. Repetitive or uninformative spam content may be removed.
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- Unpublished minimums.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.
