r/raspberry_pi rules

1. 1.

   Be Inspiring

   Celebrate your projects, not setups. Move beyond unboxing or basic connections like keyboard, monitor, mouse, case, cooling, and storage. Share your unique Pi applications, detailing the goals, challenges, and achievements of your endeavors. Let's keep our focus on the innovation and learning that comes from doing. Don't post an image or a screenshot and put a link or details in the comments, link directly or make a [self post](https://ibb.co/sCGchxC).

2. 2.

   Be Inclusive

   Remember, every expert was once a beginner. Approach each interaction with kindness and an open mind. Constructive feedback and encouragement are our tools for building a supportive community. Discouragement, negativity, and trolls have no place here. No NSFW posts, even if they are tagged as such.

3. 3.

   Be Prepared

   Start with your own research before seeking help. Our community assists with refinement and troubleshooting, not for internet searches or to develop your project. Create a detailed self post, not in comments—this keeps your query visible and editable. Include Pi model, components, code & errors (text format, not screenshots), objectives, and describe what's going wrong. Avoid mere requests for links, tutorials, products, or what would look nice. Let’s collaboratively enhance our understanding.

4. 4.

   Be Community

   Enhance our community by avoiding personal shopping queries, sales, giveaways, self-promotion, memes, and off-topic content. Our community is not a marketplace or a procurement service. Discussions on products and services should benefit the collective, not personal shopping. Product queries often lead to dissatisfaction over suitability, availability, or cost. Contributors only sharing their own content—without participating in broader community discussions—detract from a collective experience.
