r/LiDAR
LiDAR: Light Detection And Ranging
Founded December 2012 · Public — anyone can post
LIDAR ([Light Detection And Ranging](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LIDAR)) is an optical remote sensing technology that can measure the distance to, or other properties of, targets by illuminating the target with laser light and analyzing the backscattered light. LIDAR technology has applications in geomatics, archaeology, geography, geology, geomorphology, seismology, forestry, remote sensing, atmospheric physics, airborne, laser altimetry, and digital terrain modelling.

r/LiDAR — frequently asked
How many members does r/LiDAR have?
r/LiDAR has 16,469 members as of our most recent crawl on Oct 4. 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/LiDAR growing?
Over the last ≈28 days r/LiDAR changed by +3.5% — a gain of 554 members. We compare against the nearest snapshot we actually hold and state the real span rather than rounding it to a clean "30 days".
How active is r/LiDAR?
We don't have a reliable posting-rate sample for r/LiDAR yet. Subscriber count alone is a poor guide to whether a community is active, so treat this one as unverified until the next sample lands.
When was r/LiDAR created?
r/LiDAR was founded in December 2012 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.
Can I promote my product in r/LiDAR?
We don't have a promo-tolerance read for r/LiDAR 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.
How do I monitor r/LiDAR for mentions?
Hit Watch on this page. Prowlo starts crawling r/LiDAR into your Dataset — every new post indexed and embedded, searchable semantically, queryable by your AI agent over MCP, and able to trigger keyword alerts in Slack. Prowlo is read-only; it never posts on your behalf.
Can my AI agent read r/LiDAR's stats?
Yes. Everything on this page is one MCP tool call away: catalog_get_subreddit returns r/LiDAR's members, growth, promo tolerance and similar communities as typed JSON — free, no credits. Connect your agent to api.prowlo.com/mcp and it can vet the community and start watching it in the same conversation.
