Feel free to post questions or opinions on anything that has to do with 3D photogrammetry. The point is to have a place where we can help each other out. Photogrammetry is the process of converting a series of photographs into a textured 3D model.

r/photogrammetry — frequently asked

How many members does r/photogrammetry have?

r/photogrammetry has 50,192 members as of our most recent crawl on Oct 2. 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/photogrammetry growing?

Over the last ≈27 days r/photogrammetry changed by +0.9% — a gain of 464 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/photogrammetry?

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

r/photogrammetry was founded in January 2013 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/photogrammetry?

r/photogrammetry publishes 2 rules and 1 of them addresses promotion. The first, “No blatant spam”, says: Please do not post blatant spam. 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/photogrammetry for mentions?

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

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