Posting rules, in plain words
Self-promotion is banned. Post flair is required.
- No Self-Promotion or Advertising: Do not promote your own tools, SaaS products, paid services, courses, or platforms. If you built something with n8n and want to share it, use the Workflow - Github Included flair and include the code. Posts that exist primarily to drive traffic to your product or service will be removed.
- All Workflow and Video Posts Must Include the Code: If you're sharing a workflow — whether as a post, screenshot, or video — the code must be included directly in the Reddit post. Acceptable ways to share: Github Repository Github Gist n8n.io/workflows/ Sharing the code any other way is not allowed. Posts without a link to the code will be automatically removed. Screenshots alone do not count.
Quoted from the community’s own published rules. Always re-read them before posting.

We encourage users interested in the business side to head over to subreddits dedicated to entrepreneurship, freelancing, or consulting.

r/n8n — frequently asked
How many members does r/n8n have?
r/n8n has 255,861 members as of our most recent crawl on Sep 8. 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/n8n growing?
Over the last ≈32 days r/n8n changed by +1.8% — a gain of 4.5K 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/n8n?
We don't have a reliable posting-rate sample for r/n8n 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/n8n created?
r/n8n was founded in September 2020 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/n8n?
r/n8n publishes 11 rules and 3 of them address promotion. The first, “No Spam & No Clickbait”, says: You are welcome to post often! Ask for help, share templates, and contribute to the community. But excessive posting, misleading titles, or repetitive content may be removed. 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/n8n for mentions?
Hit Watch on this page. Prowlo starts crawling r/n8n 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/n8n's stats?
Yes. Everything on this page is one MCP tool call away: catalog_get_subreddit returns r/n8n'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.
