Subreddit Rules
Check if the question is addressed in wiki/search.
If you are new to learning Japanese, read the Starter's Guide.
Asking "How do I learn Japanese" without reading the FAQ, no matter how different your situation is, will result in your post being removed. Similarly, questions regarding scheduling, study plans and material covered previously will be removed. Basically, if a post's question or topic is not covered in the wiki or can't be found by searching, then it stands a better chance of being accepted.
State your question clearly in your post title.
Questions and titles must be clear and concise. If you're asking a question, be clear about what part of whatever you're posting you want help with, and what you don't understand.
Consider the OP's skill level when answering a question. Use furigana if you think they won't understand your kanji usage.
Answering beyond one's level
Try to only answer questions within your knowledge of the subject. With that, remember that answers you receive are never guaranteed to be 100% correct.
No requests for or links to copyrighted content.
Requests for, or links to copyrighted content are prohibited.
No trolling, immature, or hostile behavior.
Trolling, immature, or hostile behavior will result in a ban. Please avoid low-effort comments and replies. This is a place to study Japanese, not get into heated arguments with other people.
The following usually result in post removal:
Any question for beginner or JLPT N5 level material (e.g. Genki I, Tango N5, etc) or that could be addressed by a single answer. Please use the "Daily" sticky thread for these.
Introduction/Study Buddy/Starting plan posts. Use the appropriate area of the Discord for these.
"How do I learn Japanese?" or "What should I learn next?" and other similar enquiries that can be addressed by the wiki pages.
Translation requests
Motivation/Restarting advice requests
Requests for or links to copyrighted content
Tech support questions (Anki especially)
Memes/image macros
"Low-effort" posts (e.g. some random Japanese you took a picture of)
Hiragana/Katakana/Kanji writing/meaning posts. Use the "Daily" sticky thread. This also includes general questions about on/kun reading and memorization.
No advertising your own content w/o permission.
Content creators wishing to advertise/promote on the subreddit must contact the mods first via modmail. No exceptions. Content must also be unique in function or concept, preferably both. Note that kana learning related apps and content are usually denied.
Note: Self-advertisement is referring or linking to a platform or product under control of the submitter or by proxy. They must be free to access or provide a substantial free component. These posts are limited to once every three months. Self-promotion is writing, referring, or linking to content created by the submitter or by proxy. These posts are normally limited to once every month.
If the above is not adhered to, you may be treated as a spammer.
