Estimated survival rate

95%

of 74 recent r/reactjs posts we sampled were still publicly visible about a day later.

How this is measured

Estimate. We sample recent public posts and check again about 18 hours later to count how many are still publicly visible. Posts removed at the moment of submission never become publicly visible at all, so the true removal rate is at least this high. Last sampled Oct 22, 2026.

r/reactjs rules: what actually gets removed

Each rule below is paired with the way it is most likely enforced. Where the rules state a number, we quote it. Where they do not, we say so instead of guessing.

  1. 1.Please be kind and courteous, friendly and professional

    Enforcement varies

    Be kind to your fellow human. There’s no need to be mean or rude, keep unstructured critique to a minimum. When providing help, answer their question before making stylistic or tool suggestions.

  2. 2.Harassment will not be tolerated

    Enforcement varies

    We all started somewhere, and we're all allowed to be who we are. We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all, regardless of level of experience, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, neurodivergence, race, ethnicity, physical attributes, religion, nationality, or other aspect of identity.

  3. 3.Avoid using an alias or display name that might be offensive

    Enforcement varies

    reddit has a long history of intentionally offensive usernames, but not here. Names that detract from a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all will be addressed.

  4. 4.Respect that people have differences of opinion

    Enforcement varies

    Every design or implementation choice carries a trade-off and numerous costs. There is seldom a single right answer, and there are valid reasons to choose between a range of tradeoffs between tools, approaches, and patterns.

  5. 5.Posts must conform to our guidelines

    Enforcement varies

    If you join this community to take value rather than contribute, the community will quickly react as though you are an intruder. If you have a body of content you'd like to promote, our recommended way of doing so is to be an active and positive member of the subreddit. If someone has a question that you've created an external answer to, we'd love if you share it! Please review the sidebar for a complete list of guidelines.

r/reactjs does not publish karma or account-age minimums in its rules. Subreddits often enforce unpublished filters on top of what they write down, which is why posts from new accounts can vanish without a message here.

Can you self-promote in r/reactjs?

Only in the designated thread. r/reactjs restricts promotion to Portfolio Sunday; a standalone promo post gets removed. The sub's own wording: "If you have a body of content you'd like to promote, our recommended way of doing so is to be an active and positive member of the…". Post your promo there and keep regular posts value-first.

What gets removed in r/reactjs

  • Self-promo outside the designated thread

    Promotion is only allowed in Portfolio Sunday. A standalone promo post gets removed.

  • Low karma or a new account

    r/reactjs publishes no karma or age minimum, but unpublished account filters are common at this size. New accounts should comment before posting.

  • Reddit's sitewide spam filter

    A separate layer before the subreddit ever sees your post. New accounts posting links, URL shorteners, and repeated domains are its favorite targets. Removals are instant and silent.

  • A shadowbanned account

    If the account itself is shadowbanned, every post looks live to you and invisible to everyone else, in any subreddit.

r/reactjs posting questions

Can I post links in r/reactjs?

Yes. r/reactjs accepts link posts. The usual sitewide traps still apply: URL shorteners, affiliate parameters, and brand-new domains get filtered fast, and promotional links are judged against the sub's self-promo rules. One clean link to the original source is the safe pattern.

Does r/reactjs require karma to post?

r/reactjs does not publish a karma minimum. That does not mean there is none: many subreddits enforce unpublished karma and account-age filters that remove posts silently. If your account is new or has little karma, that is the first thing to rule out when a post disappears.

Is r/reactjs strict?

Relaxed, by our estimate (21/100 on our strictness scale, from its measured removal rate, 11 rules, and its stated gates). About 5% of recent posts disappeared within a day in our sample. Strictness is about enforcement, not hostility: a strict sub is predictable if you follow its rules.

What is the best time to post in r/reactjs?

Based on our sample of recent and top posts, activity and scores peak around Monday 3pm UTC and Friday 12pm UTC. Treat this as a starting point, not a guarantee: a post that breaks a rule gets removed at any hour. The heatmap on this page converts these windows to your local time.

Why do posts get removed in r/reactjs?

The most common reasons are self-promotion violations, plus the layers every subreddit has: Reddit's sitewide spam filter, unpublished AutoMod rules, and account-level gates like karma and age. In our recent sample, roughly 5% of r/reactjs posts disappeared within about a day of going up. Many removals are silent, so checking your draft first beats finding out after.
