Over the last ≈28 days r/Entrepreneur changed by +0.4% — a gain of 20K 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/Entrepreneur?
We don't have a reliable posting-rate sample for r/Entrepreneur 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/Entrepreneur created?
r/Entrepreneur was founded in August 2008 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/Entrepreneur?
r/Entrepreneur publishes 5 rules and 1 of them addresses promotion. The first, “No promotion, sales, or solicitation”, says: Do not use this community to sell, promote, recruit, hire, job-seek, solicit investment, or drive traffic to your profile, company, or external content.
