r/EngineeringPorn — frequently asked

How many members does r/EngineeringPorn have?

r/EngineeringPorn has 1,436,846 members as of our most recent crawl on Sep 16. 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/EngineeringPorn growing?

Over the last ≈34 days r/EngineeringPorn changed by +0.4% — a gain of 6.4K 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/EngineeringPorn?

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

r/EngineeringPorn was founded in July 2011 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/EngineeringPorn?

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

Hit Watch on this page. Prowlo starts crawling r/EngineeringPorn 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/EngineeringPorn's stats?
