r/blender — frequently asked
How many members does r/blender have?
r/blender has 1,454,716 members as of our most recent crawl on Oct 5. 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/blender growing?
Over the last ≈29 days r/blender changed by +0.6% — a gain of 8.8K 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/blender?
Around 132 posts per day, measured from the newest 100 posts on Reddit, which span 18.0h. Posting rate matters more than subscriber count when you're deciding where to spend your time — it determines how long your comment stays visible.
When was r/blender created?
r/blender was founded in June 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.
Who posts in r/blender?
Of the last 100 posts we sampled, 97% came from distinct accounts; the newest was published Oct 5. A low share means a feed dominated by a handful of accounts (bots, mods, or one prolific poster) rather than a community.
Can I promote my product in r/blender?
r/blender publishes 10 rules and 2 of them address promotion. The first, “Flair Ads Appropriately”, says: If you are promoting a paid product/service, disclose this by using the "Paid Product/Service Promotion" flair. Read the full rule text on this page and the community's rules page before posting — moderator enforcement is the thing that actually decides.
How do I monitor r/blender for mentions?
Hit Watch on this page. Prowlo starts crawling r/blender 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/blender's stats?
Yes. Everything on this page is one MCP tool call away: catalog_get_subreddit returns r/blender'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.
