r/indiehackers — frequently asked

How many members does r/indiehackers have?

r/indiehackers has 185,079 members as of our most recent crawl on Aug 1. 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/indiehackers growing?

We don't have 30 days of snapshot history for r/indiehackers yet, so we're not going to invent a growth number. We've been tracking it since Aug 1; the chart fills in as history accumulates.

How active is r/indiehackers?

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

Our read on r/indiehackers is medium promo tolerance. A product mention is fine when it genuinely answers the question asked, and unwelcome when it does not. Always read the sidebar rules before you post; moderator enforcement is the thing that actually decides.
