Communities that discuss what r/Dads discusses.
Welcome to r/daddit. Reddit’s top sub for fatherhood and parenting.
A community for dads to talk honestly about fatherhood. The wins, the failures, the exhaustion, the money stress, relationships, work, raising kids, losing sleep, losing yourself, and everything in between. No perfect dads. No judgment. No competition. Just dads supporting dads. We are dads. We're figuring it out together.
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.
Need a mom hug, dad joke, or cool-older-cousin fistbump? We're here for you with support and advice.
We're a community for men to discuss men's lived experiences. Or, whatever.

r/Dads — frequently asked
How many members does r/Dads have?
r/Dads has 32,960 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/Dads growing?
Over the last ≈24 days r/Dads changed by +2.5% — a gain of 813 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/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.
When was r/Dads created?
r/Dads was founded in August 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/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.
