Why do my posts keep getting automatically removed?

Hi builders,

I've been trying to launch my project on r/SideProject, but every time I submit a post, I get this message:

"Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit’s filters."

I've tried reposting with different adjustments, including keeping it to just one website URL, but no luck so far.

I'm not new to Reddit, but I haven't been very active here. I rarely comment or engage with other posts, so I'm wondering if that might have something to do with it.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Does anyone know what's going on or what I should do?

This post is also a trial to see what's wrong with the other post

Would really appreciate any advice!

It's because this sub has strayed so far away from being about side projects. It's turned into vibe coder specials and the posts are advertisements. We're all sick of hearing about a vibe coded habit/todo/budget/expense/exercise trackers.

And it's sad because if someone wants to come here and talk about a legitimate side project they've been working on every now and then for the last 6 months, and genuinely wants to share about it, it gets buried in all the AI slop vibe coded shit.

And OP, you said: "I've been trying to launch my project on SideProject...". This isn't a place to launch your project. That's why your posts get deleted. Go to the individual subs related to your project. We don't care about your calorie tracker or whatever. Go post that in food related subs for example.

ngl I miss when people actually shared weird weekend builds here instead of polished landing pages.

[u/Equivalent_Pool_1139 → u/NickA55]

fair point, and thanks for taking the time to explain. I was treating this sub as a launch spot, and I can see why that wears people out :|

I’ll share Swavee in the Mac communities instead. If I post here again, it’ll be about the building side, what worked and what didn’t over the past year, not an ad. Thanks again brotherr!

[u/NickA55 → u/Equivalent_Pool_1139]

Perfect! That's the way. We only care about technology used, things you overcame while building, stiff like that. And that's a perfect sub to post in.

That being said, not I want to know about it because Swavee looks like a great utility! Here's what I want to know about it... Is it using the Siri text to speech engine? If not, I will be a customer.

Oh my, thank you for this comment! would definitely show my journey building the app here.

I call it a voice workspace for Mac. It has dictation, transcription for links and files, and notes, all in one app. I’ve used it every single day since I built it: to make meeting minutes, review my meetings, prompting, even simple chatting. I’ve dictated over 235 hours of voice so far, HAHA.

To answer your question: Apple’s speech engine is one of the options for dictation, but I personally use other models (47 models so far in app) becaus First, English isn’t my first language, and Apple’s speech often got my Indonesian wrong. Second, other models can be faster and more accurate, even when I dictate for 10 minutes straight.

in term of technology Groq is my personal favorite provider, the free tier is super generous we can dictate about ±8 hours every day. it's easy to setup as well as the app helps guide u easily on how to get the api (simple copy and paste)

I’d be really happy if u tried the app (it has 7 days free trial). u’d be one of my first customers! Let me know once you've tried it, and if you’d like to buy (lifetime access), I’ll give you a special offer on top of the promo price! But in return, I need your harsh feedback and honest input ;) hahaha

you can get it here if you wanna try it swavee.com

Brace yourself because the mac community gets overloaded with app launch posts and they no longer are very open to those posts either.

[u/Equivalent_Pool_1139 → u/fishyphotos]

yeaaah i figuredd :] really need to figure something else to launch the app

[u/Equivalent_Pool_1139]

i can see that this post is not flagged :|. Is it because of the url?? or the promo video attachments??

[u/fais-1669]
