r/hackernews — frequently asked
How many members does r/hackernews have?
r/hackernews has 100,432 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/hackernews growing?
We don't have 30 days of snapshot history for r/hackernews 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/hackernews?
We don't have a reliable posting-rate sample for r/hackernews 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/hackernews?
We don't have a promo-tolerance read for r/hackernews 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.
