r/playmygame — frequently asked

How many members does r/playmygame have?

Is r/playmygame growing?

Over the last ≈29 days r/playmygame changed by +3.3% — a gain of 4.6K 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/playmygame?

Around 157 posts per day, measured from the newest 100 posts on Reddit, which span 15.2h. Posting rate matters more than subscriber count when you're deciding where to spend your time — it determines how long your comment stays visible.

When was r/playmygame created?

r/playmygame was founded in October 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.

Who posts in r/playmygame?

Of the last 100 posts we sampled, 100% came from distinct accounts; the newest was published Oct 6. A low share means a feed dominated by a handful of accounts (bots, mods, or one prolific poster) rather than a community.

Can I promote my product in r/playmygame?

We don't have a promo-tolerance read for r/playmygame 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/playmygame for mentions?

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

Connect your agent to api.prowlo.com/mcp and it can vet the community and start watching it in the same conversation.
