docs(promo): drop Reddit from the playbook, record submission eligibility - #169
Merged
Conversation
…lity Reddit is off for this launch, so the API rig, the seven subreddit calendar rows and the weekly r/rust thread go with it rather than sitting in the doc as drafts nobody will paste. The launch calendar shrinks to the venues that are actually reachable: the two forums, chaser Discords, Product Hunt, the two directories and the social accounts. Also records what the one-time submissions actually cost to check: awesome-rust wants 50 stars (48 today), awesome-selfhosted wants a first release older than four months (2026-11-29), and This Week in Rust stopped taking project-update PRs, so it went in as a Call for Participation entry instead.

Follow-up to #168. Reddit was dropped for the 2026-08 launch after that PR was
written, so the playbook still described an API posting rig and a calendar that
was seven-tenths subreddits.
announce.ymlalready does on a tag (Bluesky/Mastodon/X/Discord). No Reddit credentials
anywhere, local or CI.
chaser Discords, Product Hunt, DevHunt/Uneed, socials.
awesome-rust's 50-star gate (48 today), awesome-selfhosted's ">4 months since
first release" rule (eligible ~2026-11-29), and TWiR's closed project-updates
queue — hence CFP PR CFP: HookEcho rust-lang/this-week-in-rust#8671.
