Their country and ours.

And nothing of value was lost.

but at the end of the day these communities I’ve posted to are exactly for this so I don’t see a problem with it

If you were a user with some post history to establish yourself here, who had participated in these communities previously, either as a poster or a commenter, had gotten to know the demographic that resides here, and who had then posted about your own project, you’d have gotten a very different reception (well, maybe not, because of the AI opinions, but you at least wouldn’t have gotten shit on for the self-promotion). That’s not what you did. You created an account and immediately came to advertise your vibe-coded app. It might be a quality product, but nobody here knows you, you have no history, and you’re shilling slop, so that’s what we’re assuming it is. Nobody’s going to touch it.

Also, if you do want to participate here long-term, maybe research the instance you’re signing up on and make sure you agree with what they promote, because the instance you choose immediately creates a preconceived perception of you.

This is most likely going to be downvoted into the ground, and if you’re new here, you might be confused as to why, so let me help you:

• Nobody likes accounts created specifically for the purpose of self-promotion. I don’t know why people still insist on doing this. It’s basically an advertisement, even if it’s an advertisement for a free product - nobody wants to see advertisements. Your whole account (as of this time) is a walking advertisement. At least you didn’t name it CollectarrDev or something stupid like that, so you’ve got that going for you, which is nice.

• You’re pro-AI, which is just a generally unpopular stance around here to put it lightly.

If you aren’t new here, then shame on you, you should know better, and you’re getting what you deserve. Post on your main account, you coward.

I grew up on a small circular street with 7 houses on it, 4 of which had kids… Our parents would just get us together in a group and we’d make the rounds of all 7 houses (including our own) and that was that. I never experienced anything larger until I was in middle school and a friend invited me to go with them. Blew my mind that you could just… walk up to random houses and they’d give you candy. I thought everyone was just doing the same small-scale thing I was getting.
