r/depression — frequently asked

How many members does r/depression have?

r/depression has 1,210,107 members as of our most recent crawl on Aug 11. 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/depression growing?

We don't have 30 days of snapshot history for r/depression yet, so we're not going to invent a growth number. We've been tracking it since Aug 11; the chart fills in as history accumulates.

How active is r/depression?

We don't have a reliable posting-rate sample for r/depression 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/depression?

We don't have a promo-tolerance read for r/depression 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/depression for mentions?

Hit Watch on this page. Prowlo starts crawling r/depression 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.
