How many members does r/freelance have?
r/freelance has 690,539 members as of our most recent crawl on Aug 7. 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/freelance growing?
We don't have 30 days of snapshot history for r/freelance yet, so we're not going to invent a growth number. We've been tracking it since Aug 7; the chart fills in as history accumulates.
How active is r/freelance?
We don't have a reliable posting-rate sample for r/freelance 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/freelance?
Our read on r/freelance 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.
