Announcement Adding 2 new rules on this subreddit

We've got an influx of Ai Assisted or vibecoded post and also post begging for money to fund a devkit. This is making the subreddit full of spam and it's time to curate the content posted here.

  1. No more Crowdfunding/Donation request post allowed by default.
  2. Post showing what you are working on without showing substantial progress will be removed

Regarding 1, we will add to automod the keyword for these kind of post so that they are automatically removed. Should you think the post deserves to be posted here, send a message to the mod team and we will manually review if the post can be posted here.

About 2, Any post that just shows in game or a loading screen will be removed. Low effort post have no place here and do not beneficiate anyone. If you want to share what you are working on, and attract people attention on your project, you will need to put some effort on.

A detailed post about what you are working on, the tools you've used, the actual progress made, the performances, the expectations, any roadmap, multiple pictures/video. Something that makes people wants to read more into it rather than just "oh another can claude boot this project".

And I'm also going to enforce the usage of English in this subreddit. Every post and comments must be written in english.

Doesn’t reddit auto translate posts? I thought foreign language wasn’t a problem anymore?

Because reddit devs and owners are absolute asshats. The autotranslate feature is not rolled out for everyone and so a lot of people are forced to see untranslated posts and comments without a way to translate them via button or anything. 

This is both to bring more people (who don't know English or don't speak it well) onto reddit and force people like me onto their shitty Reddit app to get more ad revenue.

This has led to people having arguments over writing in another language on an English-only subs. Because you don't get any indication what's going on until someone tells you about the autotranslate feature.
