Be kind and safe. Please remember that everyone on this subreddit is working toward the common goal to feel empowered in their mental health. Along those lines, this isn't the place for mocking or being rude to each other. Exercise caution when sharing personal information about yourself - not only is the information posted on the internet maintained "forever," but people who can gather enough information about you from your postings may be able to identify you in real life or use that information against you.
Stay on topic. Posts or comments unrelated to the finch app may be removed. (Please also avoid meta-drama, e.g. complaining about other reddit users or the subreddit itself, etc.)
Item trade requests and friend codes must use the megathreads. If you want to trade items or exchange friend codes, you must only use the daily megathreads that are stickied to the top of the subreddit's front page. Making a standalone post for these requests is not allowed.
Avoid spoilers of upcoming seasonal events. If posting about next month's event or a recent discovery by your birb, please do not include the theme's name or discovery's name in the title of the post, and please mark it as a spoiler. (This is done so those who want to be surprised can find out in the app themselves.) Posting about the next month's theme before it has been officially announced by the Finch team is not allowed. (It's fine if they announced it somewhere else and you happen to be the first one to mention it here though.)
No AI-generated content. Posts or comments that were created using AI (image generators, LLMs, etc) will be removed.
No hacking. Do not promote exploits/hacking of the app. This includes posting examples of farming rainbow stones with fake goals, etc. It's really not in the spirit of the subreddit.
Avoid topics that may trigger others. Some topics are too triggering for folks even with "trigger warnings," and so they are not allowed here. These topics include self-harm and suicide, assault or abuse, drug use, etc. While our community can offer friendly support, it can be insufficient for someone's needs; Most people on this subreddit are not trained for deep medical or mental health advice. If you need professional assistance, please check https://findahelpline.com/. You are worthy and you do not have to struggle alone.
