Is r/buildinpublic growing?

How active is r/buildinpublic?
We don't have a reliable posting-rate sample for r/buildinpublic 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/buildinpublic?
Our read on r/buildinpublic 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.
