What r/msp's rules say about promotion

2 of 8 published rules mention promotion, advertising or spam. Quoted from the community's own rules page, not summarised.

  1. Vendor Promotions and Webinars

    rule 3 of 8

    Vendor participation is encouraged. Feedback and assistance can be invaluable. However, promotion of any products, including webinars, must be kept to the Weekly Promo thread. Vendors are requested to identify themselves by either username or vendor flair.

    Removal reason shown to posters: Vendor promotion or webinar outside of sticky

  2. Tax and legal questions are not allowed.

    rule 5 of 8

    The purpose of this sub is to share business practices, discuss vendors, and share experiences. Tax and legal advice is best left to those professionals. This includes the sharing or requests for MSAs and other legal contracts.

The other 6

  • Technical Support Request
  • Repeated question
  • No personal attacks or inflammatory language
  • VoIP questions outside of MSP programs.
  • Security Disclosure
  • No Surveys, Market Research, etc...

r/msp — frequently asked

How many members does r/msp have?

r/msp has 247,371 members as of our most recent crawl on Sep 9. 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/msp growing?

Over the last ≈33 days r/msp changed by +0.8% — a gain of 1.9K 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/msp?

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

r/msp was founded in July 2011 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/msp?

r/msp publishes 8 rules and 2 of them address promotion. The first, “Vendor Promotions and Webinars”, says: Vendor participation is encouraged. Feedback and assistance can be invaluable. However, promotion of any products, including webinars, must be kept to the Weekly Promo thread. Vendors are requested to identify… Read the full rule text on this page and the community's rules page before posting — moderator enforcement is the thing that actually decides.

How do I monitor r/msp for mentions?

Hit Watch on this page. Prowlo starts crawling r/msp 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/msp's stats?

Yes. Everything on this page is one MCP tool call away: catalog_get_subreddit returns r/msp'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.
