Programming.dev now has official community guidelines. These should help clarify what sort of local communities we allow to be hosted on the instance and the rules we expect them to follow.

As most programmers are aware, anticipating every edge case is generally not viable, so these are just guidelines, not written-in-stone rules. The admin team will still evaluate communities on a case-by-case basis, and exceptions are always possible.

If you have any feedback on the guidelines, we are more than happy to hear them, so please post them below.

    It is a precautionary policy to avoid what is currently just a theoretical. You’ll be the first to create personal blog community so it will be interesting to see how it works out.

    Nothing is set in stone of course and policies may be revised, I won’t make any claim that the current set of guidelines are perfect and immutable.
