Posting rules, in plain words

Self-promotion is judged case by case. Post flair is required.

  • No promotion of commercial services or products: Commercial GAMES are OK, but direct or indirect promotion of commercial services or products is not allowed. Discussion about them is fine, but overt and repeated promotion is not.
  • Commercial Game Posts Allowed, with Requirements: You must discuss your game within the context of how it was developed using AI. Share with the community and give something for the community to talk about in your development experience with AI. A fire and forget video/image with no text, chatGPT bullet list may be removed by mods. Apply the "Commercial Self Promotion"flair.
  • Reposts, Spam, Low Quality, Soliciting, or excessive self promotion.: The subreddit encourages high-effort, original posts and does not allow spam or excessive submissions. Users should check for duplicates before posting, ensure any game self-promotion is relevant, properly flaired, and adds discussion value, and note that services or job-seeking posts are not permitted.
  • Correct Flair: Take care to apply the correct flair to posts.

Quoted from the community’s own published rules. Always re-read them before posting.

r/aigamedev — frequently asked

How many members does r/aigamedev have?

r/aigamedev has 72,062 members as of our most recent crawl on Sep 24. Prowlo re-checks tracked communities on a rolling schedule, so this figure moves rather than sitting frozen at whatever it was when a scraper last ran.

Is r/aigamedev growing?

We don't have 30 days of snapshot history for r/aigamedev yet, so we're not going to invent a growth number. We've been tracking it since Sep 2; the chart fills in as history accumulates.

How active is r/aigamedev?

We don't have a reliable posting-rate sample for r/aigamedev yet. Subscriber count alone is a poor guide to whether a community is active, so treat this one as unverified until the next sample lands.

When was r/aigamedev created?

r/aigamedev was founded in December 2022 and is a public — anyone can post community. Age matters: an older community with steady growth has survived Reddit's moderation churn; a young one with a spike may not.

Can I promote my product in r/aigamedev?

We don't have a promo-tolerance read for r/aigamedev yet. Default to the safe approach: read the sidebar rules, contribute in threads where you gain nothing, and mention your product only when it is the honest answer to someone's question.

How do I monitor r/aigamedev for mentions?

Hit Watch on this page. Prowlo starts crawling r/aigamedev into your Dataset — every new post indexed and embedded, searchable semantically, queryable by your AI agent over MCP, and able to trigger keyword alerts in Slack. Prowlo is read-only; it never posts on your behalf.

Can my AI agent read r/aigamedev's stats?

Yes. Everything on this page is one MCP tool call away: catalog_get_subreddit returns r/aigamedev's members, growth, promo tolerance and similar communities as typed JSON — free, no credits. Connect your agent to api.prowlo.com/mcp and it can vet the community and start watching it in the same conversation.
