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.

r/ExperiencedDevs — frequently asked

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?

We don't have a reliable posting-rate sample for r/ExperiencedDevs 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/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.

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.

How do I monitor r/ExperiencedDevs for mentions?

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

Yes. Everything on this page is one MCP tool call away: catalog_get_subreddit returns r/ExperiencedDevs's members, growth, promo tolerance and similar communities as typed JSON — free, no credits. Connect your agent to api.prowlo.com/mcp and it can vet the community and start watching it in the same conversation.
