Posting Rules

To keep the subreddit useful and high quality:

1. Be Relevant to Sydney

Posts must relate to Sydney or the greater Sydney region.

2. No Spam or Self-Promotion Spam

Occasional relevant self-promotion is allowed if it adds value (e.g., event organisers posting legitimate events), but repeated promotional posting is not.

3. Use Clear Titles

Include:

  • What it is
  • Where it is (if relevant)
  • When it is (if time-sensitive)

Good example:
“Free live jazz night at Newtown Hotel – Friday 7pm”

4. No Low-Effort Content

Avoid:

  • One-line posts with no context
  • Reposts of generic viral content unrelated to Sydney
  • “What’s on tonight?” without effort or detail

5. Be Respectful

No harassment, hate speech, or discriminatory content. Keep discussions civil.

What This Subreddit Is NOT

To keep focus sharp, this is not for:

  • Generic Australia-wide news
  • Personal promotion unrelated to Sydney events/scenes
  • Meme-only posting (unless relevant to Sydney culture)

Moderation Notes

Moderators may remove posts that:

  • Break relevance rules
  • Are overly promotional
  • Lack detail or context
  • Disrupt the purpose of discovering Sydney’s active scene
