What is Reddiquette on Reddit?

Reddiquette is Reddit's informal guide to good behaviour, such as being kind, not spamming and adding to the conversation.

It is a list of suggestions rather than strict laws. It covers things like reading the rules, not posting the same thing again and again, and thinking about whether a comment adds anything.

Moderators and long-time users often use it as a shared sense of what is fair.

If you are promoting something

If you ever wonder whether something is okay, reddiquette gives a quick answer. If it feels like you are pushing a link instead of helping, it probably is not.
