How many members does r/ecommerce have?

Is r/ecommerce growing?

We don't have 30 days of snapshot history for r/ecommerce yet, so we're not going to invent a growth number. We've been tracking it since Aug 1; the chart fills in as history accumulates.

How active is r/ecommerce?

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

Our read on r/ecommerce is medium promo tolerance. A product mention is fine when it genuinely answers the question asked, and unwelcome when it does not. Always read the sidebar rules before you post; moderator enforcement is the thing that actually decides.
