r/apps — frequently asked
How many members does r/apps have?
r/apps has 122,583 members as of our most recent crawl on Sep 23. 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/apps growing?
Over the last ≈37 days r/apps changed by +3.3% — a gain of 3.9K 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/apps?
We don't have a reliable posting-rate sample for r/apps 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/apps created?
r/apps was founded in October 2009 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/apps?
Our read on r/apps is high promo tolerance. It has a promo-friendly culture or a dedicated thread, but that still means being useful first. Always read the sidebar rules before you post; moderator enforcement is the thing that actually decides.
How do I monitor r/apps for mentions?
Hit Watch on this page. Prowlo starts crawling r/apps 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/apps's stats?
Yes. Everything on this page is one MCP tool call away: catalog_get_subreddit returns r/apps'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.
