r/digitalnomad community rules

The 8 rules r/digitalnomad moderators enforce, summarised from the subreddit’s official rules page (June 2026). Read them before you post or reply — rules change, so confirm the current rules on Reddit.

  1. 01

    Be kind

    We want to create an inclusive and supportive environment for digital nomads. Please don't be snarky or a gatekeeper.

  2. 02

    No self-promotion or blog spam

    Links to blogs, product launches, YouTube, fundraising campaigns, or other self-promotional material will be removed. No exceptions · many posts are removed daily.

  3. 03

    No surveys, interview requests, market research

    Surveys will be removed without mercy. Reddit polls are allowed if the question is original (no "what work do you do?")

  4. 04

    Job postings should be shared in the weekly discussion thread

    [Weekly Discussions](https://www.reddit.com/r/digitalnomad/collection/d43b56fb-85ef-4c78-aa53-c6d84de0aee3) This helps members find recent posts quickly. Identifying the company is strongly encouraged.

  5. 05

    Avoid repetitive job advice questions

    Asking for career/job advice? Try the wiki/sidebar or searching before posting. Frequently asked questions will be removed. Posts like these are better asked in [/r/careerguidance/](https://www.reddit.com/r/careerguidance/) (general), or [/r/cscareerquestions/](https://www.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/) (IT / programming)

  6. 06

    Laptop pics should drive discussion
