r/homeowners was founded in October 2009 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/homeowners?

The first, “No promotional content (spam)”, says: No ads, no self-promo, no blogs, no links to your business, etc. Posts and comments from business-owned-or-operated accounts are strictly forbidden.
