Where this comes from

View the current official rules on Reddit

No spam or ads

Ads are not allowed except specific commercial partners; personal projects are explicitly not considered ads.

Affiliate links discouraged

Sidebar warns to refrain from posting affiliate or Amazon links to avoid automoderator deletion.

Commercial logo restriction

Commercial use of the Home Assistant logo is prohibited, which limits promotional branding in posts.

Stay on topic

Content must be about Home Assistant or its ecosystem, so vendor messages must be relevant to that scope.
