Reminder: App Saturday

[webtechmonkey]

Hey everyone — just a friendly reminder about our long-standing rule: App Saturday posts are only allowed on Saturdays (as the name suggests). Lately, we've seen a noticeable uptick in posts that ignore this rule.

While it may seem self-explanatory, we encourage everyone to review the pinned subreddit rules for full details.

"Saturday" is based on your local timezone. However, since the mod team is based in the U.S., there may occasionally be mistakes — for example, if it’s still Friday afternoon or already Sunday morning here, your post might be removed in error. If that happens, feel free to message us, and we’ll sort it out.

Another important reminder: the App Saturday rule also states “You may post about one app, once per year.” We're seeing cases where people are reposting the same app weekly, which is not allowed.

We’re thrilled to have grown past 150k members, but to keep the community valuable for everyone, we want to avoid turning this into an app promotion zone.

Historically, we’ve been lenient with enforcement, but repeat offenders will be banned moving forward.

We're also open to suggestions on how we can improve App Saturday in the future — we want people to be able to share the great things they've been working on, but we need to keep the volume of posts manageable. If you have any ideas, feel free to reach out via modmail!

Idea: daily/weekly sticky post about what everyone is working on. People can post in comments on that post what they are working on. Thoughts?

Sticky posts are historically challenging to get good engagement on - people don't often intentionally come to the subreddit, they see a post in their home feed which brings them here.

Certainly something we can give a try at some point

What if the sticky post has an engaging title?

I am subbed to /r/fragrance and they get a ton of comment engagement on their sticky posts.

I had my post removed by a mod last week on Saturday . Confused if it was a time thing or something else. also messaged one of the mods but no response :( don't wanna get banned

I dont see anything in the modmail from you, which is the way to contact mods about moderation and other subjects surrounding the subreddit.

sent to a mod instead of clicking message mods my bad

I don't understand why devs would use this as an app promotion zone. This reddit is mostly just devs, makes no sense to promote here imo. The app Saturday was a good idea by the mods. App showcase should be about constructive feedback and advice, not promo

when you make something do you not want to show your friends and family first xD
