How many members does r/amateurradio have?
r/amateurradio has 221,115 members as of our most recent crawl on Aug 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/amateurradio growing?

How active is r/amateurradio?
We don't have a reliable posting-rate sample for r/amateurradio 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.
Can I promote my product in r/amateurradio?
We don't have a promo-tolerance read for r/amateurradio 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/amateurradio for mentions?
