The short answer
Participate normally, add value first, keep promotional posts rare and highly relevant, disclose affiliation, and send job/service offers to the Discord jobs room when applicable.
What works here
- Relevant product/project mentions as part of useful contributions
- Occasional self-promotion within the 10/90 guideline
- Linking or citing sources for technical content
What gets posts removed
- Repeated or primarily promotional posts
- Directly soliciting customers in the subreddit (use Discord jobs room for services/jobs)
- Posting promotional content without relevance or disclosure
Where this comes from
Limited Self-Promotion rule
Self-promotion allowed but must follow Reddit's 10/90 rule and be relevant/contributory.
Jobs/services routing
The rules instruct posting job requests and services in the Discord jobs room rather than in subreddit posts.
Stay on Topic
Content must be about RAG or closely related AI topics, so promotional content should be relevant to RAG.
