What the numbers mean

  • Members is the count Reddit shows on the community's page. Many members joined years ago and never come back, so it says more about reach than about who reads today.
  • Posts that stay up tells you how fast a post sinks. In a busy subreddit a post has a few hours to get noticed; in a quiet one it can sit near the top for days.
  • Comments on a typical post is the median, so one viral thread doesn't inflate it. A community with many members and few comments is mostly readers.
  • Top posts this month show what this community upvotes. Read a few before you post: the format and tone that wins there is easier to copy than to guess.

Reading the rules

We read the rules the moderators publish and pull out what they say about promotion, links, posting pace, flair and karma or account age. Each point names the rule it came from and quotes it, so you can check our reading.

The published rules are not the whole story. Moderators often run filters that remove posts from new or low-karma accounts without saying so in the rules. When the rules are silent about promotion, treat that as a no until you have seen others do it there.

Questions people ask

How do I see how many members a subreddit has?
Reddit shows the member count on every public community's page. Type the name above and we read it for you, with the time we read it.
Can I see how fast a subreddit is growing?
Reddit shows only today's member count, not its history. We show growth only for subreddits we have counted before, with the dates of both counts. For the rest we say we don't have history yet, and we never guess a trend.
Why does it say Reddit doesn't show how many people are here now?
Reddit used to show how many people were in each community at that moment. For many communities it no longer does, and when it doesn't we leave it blank rather than guess.
How are posts a day counted?
We read the 100 newest posts still up and divide by the days they span, so the figure is posts that stay up. Posts that moderators or Reddit removed don't show, so the number people post can be higher. Quiet subreddits get a pace per week or month, and with fewer than five posts we show none.
Can I see stats for a private subreddit?
No. Reddit doesn't show private communities to anyone outside them, so neither can we. The tool tells you when a community doesn't exist, and when we can't read one right now.
Why are there no post figures for an 18+ subreddit?
Reddit doesn't show us the posts in 18+ communities. We still show members and the rules, and leave the post figures out rather than show zeros.
How fresh are the numbers?
We read Reddit when someone checks a subreddit and keep that answer for six hours. Anyone who checks the same subreddit in that time sees the same answer, with the time it was read.
