16
17### The 90/10 Rule (MANDATORY)
18- **90% Community Participation**: Must contribute valuable comments, discussions, and non-promotional content
19- **10% Self-Promotion**: Maximum promotional content allowed across all subreddits
20- **Timing**: Space promotional posts 2-3 weeks apart in same subreddit
21- **Account Requirements**: Build karma (minimum 25-50) before any promotional content
22
23### Content Structure Requirements
24- **Lead with Problems, Not Solutions**: Start with relatable user pain points or questions
25- **Community Discussion Format**: Frame as "Has anyone experienced..." vs "I built..."
26- **Technical Questions**: Include genuine requests for community feedback and input
27- **Avoid Promotional Language**: Eliminate "First", "Enhancement", "Game-changing", "Revolutionary"
28
29### Spam Filter Avoidance
30- **No Direct CTAs**: Avoid "Give it a star", "Check out my...", "Try my product"
31- **Natural Mentions**: Reference solutions organically within technical discussions
32- **Question-Based Titles**: Use "How do you..." or "Anyone solved..." formats
33- **Community Value**: Every post must benefit community members, not just promote
34
35### Reddit Formatting Standards
36- **Headers**: Use `**Bold Text**` instead of `# Markdown Headers` (better display)
37- **Code Blocks**: Use triple backticks ``` for code examples
38- **Links**: Standard `[text](url)` format
39- **Lists**: Use `-` or `1.` for bullet/numbered lists
