How active is r/indie_startups?
Around 15.0 posts per day, measured from the newest 100 posts on Reddit, which span 6.6 days. Posting rate matters more than subscriber count when you're deciding where to spend your time — it determines how long your comment stays visible.
When was r/indie_startups created?
r/indie_startups was founded in November 2025 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/indie_startups?

Can I promote my product in r/indie_startups?
We don't have a promo-tolerance read for r/indie_startups 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.
