r/fossdroid users, I have provided some more clarity to the rules as well as added some new rules to clarify existing policy as well as matching with our existing removal reasons. Please check the sidebar for the official copy.

Here is a breakdown of our current (new) rules. Anything after rule 5 is new, and some rules may have had their description changed slightly.

  1. Must relate to Android - All posts must relate to the Android operating system. Posts not related to Android will be removed.
  2. Mention Source License - If you don’t mention a license for an application not hosted on F-Droid or IzzyOnDroid, it may be removed. If we can easily find the source license on the link you provide, we may approve the post anyway. However, it is preferred that you directly link the license file.
  3. Link Source First - Application source code should be linked first, before the binary (except for F-Droid).
  4. No Memes
  5. Polls - Polls are fine, but should be flaired correctly and must relate to the subreddit topics.

New Rules

  1. Low Effort Posts - This was already a removal reason, so it has been codified. Extremely low effort posts will be removed to ensure a baseline of quality.
  2. Applications must be FOSS - It seems this was already enforced. I figured it should be part of the actual rule list, to avoid confusion. As part of this rule, any link to Google Play is grounds for removal and potentially a ban.
  3. Aurora Store Login Issues - Please use their issues page. We will not handle Aurora Store login issues.
  4. Must be English - Any posts or comments not made in English will be removed.
  5. Don’t be an asshole
