Posting rules, in plain words
Self-promotion is judged case by case. Promotion goes in None (None). Post flair is required.
- Rule 4: Developers may post their own apps, provided: 1- Their post must be a self post with a detailed description of their app. 2- The developer's account must be at least three months old AND have a reasonable posting history on r/Android. 3- The developer must interact with users in the thread. We do not allow developers to simply dump a link to their app and leave.
- Rule 1: All posts to r/Android must be related to the Android OS or ecosystem in some way. If not obvious, you should submit the link as a self-post and include an explanation.
- Rule 2: We welcome posts that benefit the community (device reviews, guides, discussions and rumors) and not the individual (seeking help, e.g. tech support).
- Rule 10: If you are a Redditor, affiliate links are absolutely NOT allowed in either the comments section, within the self-text of your post, or as part of your link.
Quoted from the community’s own published rules. Always re-read them before posting.
What a good comment looks like here

r/Android — frequently asked
How many members does r/Android have?
r/Android has 3,192,861 members as of our most recent crawl on Sep 27. 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/Android growing?
Over the last ≈24 days r/Android changed by +0.2% — a gain of 5.9K members. We compare against the nearest snapshot we actually hold and state the real span rather than rounding it to a clean "30 days".
How active is r/Android?
We don't have a reliable posting-rate sample for r/Android 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/Android created?
r/Android was founded in August 2008 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/Android?
We don't have a promo-tolerance read for r/Android 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/Android for mentions?
Hit Watch on this page. Prowlo starts crawling r/Android 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/Android's stats?
Yes. Everything on this page is one MCP tool call away: catalog_get_subreddit returns r/Android'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.
