Web developers building sites and apps for themselves and clients.
r/webdev is one of the largest developer communities on Reddit. It covers front-end and back-end work, hosting, careers, and a steady stream of 'what do you use for X' tooling threads.
Professional and hobbyist web developers, plus freelancers and agency devs building for clients.
~3M members — a large community. Use it as a general-tier sub: high reach, filter hard for intent.
A general-tier sub for developer tools, hosting, and APIs. Enormous volume means tight relevance filtering is essential; the payoff is that tooling questions are frequent and specific.
Buying signals to watch forDevelopers detect marketing instantly. Be technically precise; disclose anything you built.
The 8 rules r/webdev 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.
No vague product support questions (like "why is this plugin not working" or "how do I set up X"). For vague product support questions, please use communities relevant to that product for best results. Specific issues that follow rule 6 are allowed.
Do not post memes, screenshots of bad design, or jokes. Check out /r/ProgrammerHumor/ for this type of content.
Read and follow reddiquette; no excessive self-promotion. Please refer to the Reddit 9:1 rule when considering posting self promoting materials.
We do not allow any commercial promotion or solicitation. Violations can result in a ban.
Sharing your project, portfolio, or any other content that you want to either show off or request feedback on is limited to Showoff Saturday. If you post such content on any other day, it will be removed. Posts must be tagged with the correct flair. Commercial promotion still falls under rule #4 and is not allowed. Think project, not product. Focus on the technical details of your project and how it's relevant to the audience of the subreddit.
If you are asking for assistance on a problem, you are required to provide * Context of the problem * Research you have completed prior to requesting assistance * Problem you are attempting to solve with high specificity Questions in violation of this rule will be removed or locked.
Open-ended/general "how do I get started in web dev" and general Career related posts are only allowed within the pinned monthly career thread. The answer to many of these questions can also be found in the sub FAQ, or in /r/learnprogramming/ and /r/cscareerquestions/. Highly specific career/getting started assistance questions are allowed so long as they follow the required assistance post guidelines.
Low-effort posts/comments will be removed. This includes title-only posts, easily searchable questions, vague/open-ended discussion prompts, LLM generated content or hallucinations, and posts/comments that do not provide enough context for meaningful replies or discussion.
