Communities that discuss what r/GoodOpenSource discusses.
A subreddit for everything open source related (for this context, we go off the definition of open source here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source)
We are dedicated to the discussion of Free and Open Source Software, or FOSS.
A curated community to discover and share high-value GitHub repositories you can actually use in your projects. Useful tools, open-source projects, hidden gems, and developer resources worth bookmarking. Every repo shared here must have 1,000+ stars on GitHub (from 2026-10-06). We keep the bar high on purpose, so this stays a feed of proven, practical repos and never turns into a dump of low-quality links. Share what you found, explain why it's useful, and tell us how you'd use it. Thanks, all.

r/GoodOpenSource — frequently asked
How many members does r/GoodOpenSource have?
r/GoodOpenSource has 6,752 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/GoodOpenSource growing?
Over the last ≈34 days r/GoodOpenSource changed by +5.9% — a gain of 378 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/GoodOpenSource?
We don't have a reliable posting-rate sample for r/GoodOpenSource 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/GoodOpenSource created?
r/GoodOpenSource was founded in October 2022 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/GoodOpenSource?
We don't have a promo-tolerance read for r/GoodOpenSource 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/GoodOpenSource for mentions?
Hit Watch on this page. Prowlo starts crawling r/GoodOpenSource 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/GoodOpenSource's stats?
Yes. Everything on this page is one MCP tool call away: catalog_get_subreddit returns r/GoodOpenSource'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.
