## Quick verdict

Developer Developer Tools forum — DR 89, free to submit. Worth it with useful technical content or OSS; skip for drive-by product launch ads.

**Best for:** Open-source tools, coding tutorials, and benchmarks developers can learn from · Dev tool founders sharing technical write-ups, not marketing landing pages

## Approval & timeline

- **Time-to-live:** Forum posts publish immediately — community moderation may remove spam within hours.
- **Review:** Community moderators and members flag low-effort promo, off-topic ads, and spam posts.
- **Common rejections:** Bare product ads, affiliate spam, off-topic marketing, or posts without technical value for learners.
- **Reputation:** FreeCodeCamp culture favors teaching and helping — lead with value, mention product only in context.

## Pros

- DR 89 forum.freecodecamp.org with High developer community traffic
- Free — no listing fees or editorial queue
- Credibility when sharing genuine open-source or educational content
- Long-lived forum threads can surface in search for technical topics

## Cons

- Backlink quality rated Weak — forum links are nofollow
- Not a product launch directory — ads and promo posts backfire
- Audience is learners — not SaaS buyer-intent
- Wrong channel for B2B software marketplace lead gen

## What you need before you submit

- FreeCodeCamp forum account with community participation history
- Technical post: tutorial, OSS release, benchmark, or architecture write-up
- Working repo link, code samples, or reproducible demo
- Clear learning value for forum readers — not a sales pitch
- Read forum category rules before posting in dev-projects or relevant section

- FreeCodeCamp News (Medium) is separate from the forum — different submission paths
- Participate in discussions before posting your own project links

## Submission mechanics

- **Account:** FreeCodeCamp forum account — create posts in relevant categories on forum.freecodecamp.org.
- **Categories:** Post in appropriate forum section — dev-projects, JavaScript, Python, etc. Read category descriptions.
- **Anchor text:** Post title describes technical content; links in body are nofollow.
- **Link placement:** Forum thread — not a product directory listing or indexed vendor profile.
