How active is r/quantfinance?
Around 30.9 posts per day, measured from the newest 100 posts on Reddit, which span 3.2 days. 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/quantfinance created?
r/quantfinance was founded in August 2010 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/quantfinance?
