Communities that discuss what r/Dads discusses.
Please go over the rules before posting! r/Parenting is a place to discuss the ins and out as well as ups and downs of child-rearing. From the early stages of pregnancy to when your teenagers are finally ready to leave the nest (even if they don't want to) we're here to help you through this crazy thing called parenting. Get advice on potty training, talk about breastfeeding, discuss how to get your baby to sleep, or ask if that one weird thing your kid does is normal.
We're a community for men to discuss men's lived experiences. Or, whatever.
**This is a community to encourage, support, and educate parents nursing babies/children through their breastfeeding journey. Partners seeking advice and support are also welcome here.**
When you just need a talk with your dad. When you need understanding, congratulations, praise, or advice from a father figure, but don't have one at the moment in real life whether it be from loss, they are busy, or just aren't present. We are here for you, we love you, and we are proud of you.

r/Dads — frequently asked
How many members does r/Dads have?
r/Dads has 31,924 members as of our most recent crawl on Aug 20. 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/Dads growing?
We don't have 30 days of snapshot history for r/Dads yet, so we're not going to invent a growth number. We've been tracking it since Aug 20; the chart fills in as history accumulates.
How active is r/Dads?
We don't have a reliable posting-rate sample for r/Dads 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.
Can I promote my product in r/Dads?
We don't have a promo-tolerance read for r/Dads 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/Dads for mentions?
Hit Watch on this page. Prowlo starts crawling r/Dads 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/Dads's stats?
Yes. Everything on this page is one MCP tool call away: catalog_get_subreddit returns r/Dads'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.
