r/indiebiz — frequently asked

How many members does r/indiebiz have?

r/indiebiz has 40,163 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/indiebiz growing?

We don't have 30 days of snapshot history for r/indiebiz 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/indiebiz?

We don't have a reliable posting-rate sample for r/indiebiz 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/indiebiz?

Our read on r/indiebiz is high promo tolerance. It has a promo-friendly culture or a dedicated thread, but that still means being useful first. Always read the sidebar rules before you post; moderator enforcement is the thing that actually decides.

How do I monitor r/indiebiz for mentions?
