r/AskProgramming — frequently asked

How many members does r/AskProgramming have?

r/AskProgramming has 229,690 members as of our most recent crawl on Aug 4. 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/AskProgramming growing?

We don't have 30 days of snapshot history for r/AskProgramming yet, so we're not going to invent a growth number. We've been tracking it since Aug 4; the chart fills in as history accumulates.

How active is r/AskProgramming?

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

Can I promote my product in r/AskProgramming?

We don't have a promo-tolerance read for r/AskProgramming 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.
