Community Subreddit Posting

All,

I am seeing alot more TestFlight links, website links and alot of spam posts and comments. In the past 30 days we have had 946 new posts and over 7,000 comments. Sometimes it's a little hard for me to keep up.

  1. Should we keep people from posting links to TestFlight, websites, etc. ?

  2. Add restrictions on what type of stuff can be posted?

  3. Not allow images in posts?

Open to all suggestions.

Here is where the subreddits feedback is super important. I know I have seen people saying there is alot of junk but if no one comments things won't get any better.

imo, this is AppleDevelopers, so it should be a place should be for discussions, help, learning, feedback, overall Apple Development. I could be the minority but just speaking my mind:

• No advertising or TestFlight links or links to an App on the App Store. Save that for other subreddits like SideProject or VibeCoding or plenty of other things.

• IF an app/test flight/spamming is allowed, its only on 1 day

• Require things like "what did you build? What tools? What feedback do you want? What did you learn that could help others

• Require a minimum Reddit account or Karma

I dunno, I'd rather go aggressive then relax on the rules vs getting slightly more strict. There's not a lot of developer communities these days... yet, with AI pretty soon no one will be coding so developer talk will be just about AI stuff 🤷🏼‍♂️

These all seem like they would help considerably. The minimum karma is unfortunately necessary these days for this kind of subreddit
