For experienced developers. This community should be specialized subreddit facilitating discussion amongst individuals who have gained some ground in the software engineering world. Any posts or comments that are made by inexperienced individuals (outside of the weekly Ask thread) should be reported. Anything not specifically related to development or career advice that is _specific_ to Experienced Developers belongs elsewhere. Try /r/work, /r/AskHR, /r/careerguidance, or /r/OfficePolitics.

How many members does r/ExperiencedDevs have?

r/ExperiencedDevs has 416,316 members as of our most recent crawl on Sep 17. 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/ExperiencedDevs growing?

Over the last ≈34 days r/ExperiencedDevs changed by +1.5% — a gain of 6K 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/ExperiencedDevs?

Around 3.6 posts per day, measured from the newest 100 posts on Reddit, which span 27.7 days. Posting rate matters more than subscriber count when you're deciding where to spend your time — it determines how long your comment stays visible.

When was r/ExperiencedDevs created?

r/ExperiencedDevs was founded in January 2018 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.

Who posts in r/ExperiencedDevs?

Of the last 100 posts we sampled, 82% came from distinct accounts; the newest was published Sep 16. A low share means a feed dominated by a handful of accounts (bots, mods, or one prolific poster) rather than a community.

Can I promote my product in r/ExperiencedDevs?

We don't have a promo-tolerance read for r/ExperiencedDevs 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.
