Posting rules, in plain words
Self-promotion is judged case by case. Promotion goes in unknown (unknown).
- No Low Effort Posts: - posts may be removed if it is low quality content - or if similar posts exist. search for duplicates first - memes, fun, shitposts are allowed if they're good tipps: - link to the original source - add the best suited post flair - cross-posting from other platforms: ensure the formatting is correct. clean up broken Markdown - wrote a blog, recorded a video? consider posting/uploading the content directly on Reddit or make a Link post and add a tl;dr
- Promo Codes & Affiliate Links: - sharing promo codes and affiliate links is only allowed in combination with an in-depth review that is published directly in the subreddit this means: - start with an "Images & Video" post and add images or a video - then add text in the "Body text (optional)" box before you post - the text or video have to be an in-depth review

r/augmentedreality — frequently asked
How many members does r/augmentedreality have?
r/augmentedreality has 77,816 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/augmentedreality growing?
Over the last ≈24 days r/augmentedreality changed by +1.4% — a gain of 1.1K 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/augmentedreality?
We don't have a reliable posting-rate sample for r/augmentedreality 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/augmentedreality created?
r/augmentedreality was founded in July 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/augmentedreality?
We don't have a promo-tolerance read for r/augmentedreality 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/augmentedreality for mentions?
Hit Watch on this page. Prowlo starts crawling r/augmentedreality 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/augmentedreality's stats?
Yes. Everything on this page is one MCP tool call away: catalog_get_subreddit returns r/augmentedreality'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.
