Promotion of apps you created is considered an ad, therefore it’s not allowed in this community. Rule 3 has been clarified with 3.1 to specify this. We will not remove existing posts but will do so for future posts.
However, we will start a monthly self promo threads starting August, and this will be only place where self promo is allowed. This thread will be for apps that are created by people in the community, so ads for other apps are still not allowed.
EDIT: Based on feedback, the community has found it helpful to discover new Lemmy apps for alternatives. Therefore, we will allow ONE post for a new Lemmy app, provided that they link to their own community for future posts. We will not allow additional posts/updates on the specific apps.
The mod team agreed that for now we want to allow discovery of new Lemmy apps. We’ll allow ONE post for a new Lemmy app, given that they’ll link to their own community so further discussions/updates will be done elsewhere. And future posts of the same app will not be allowed. This is only for Lemmy apps because it’s of a particular interest to us, but not allowed for any other apps.
