About r/poland
In its own words:
The official English language subreddit for Poland and Polish news. Questions get answered, recommendations get recommended, and - you know - things get done.
Community guide
r/poland (#884, about 1.2 million) is the official English-language Poland community for news, questions and recommendations—Anglophone discussion of Polish topics rather than a language-learning classroom alone.
What belongs
Poland news, travel/life questions and recommendations (about 47 posts/day). The rules are short: be cool and play nice. Expect English-language threads about the country, not a general Europe dump.
Versus europe and languagelearning
Related lists include italy, germany and languagelearning. Country subs answer local/practical questions; languagelearning is for studying Polish as a language. Use the country room for place-specific asks.
Practical pointers
Stay civil. For pure grammar drills, a language sub may fit better; for where-do-I questions in Poland, this room matches the description.
