r/selfhosted — frequently asked
How many members does r/selfhosted have?
r/selfhosted has 815,167 members as of our most recent crawl on Aug 7. 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/selfhosted growing?
We don't have 30 days of snapshot history for r/selfhosted yet, so we're not going to invent a growth number. We've been tracking it since Aug 7; the chart fills in as history accumulates.
How active is r/selfhosted?
We don't have a reliable posting-rate sample for r/selfhosted yet. Subscriber count alone is a poor guide to whether a community is active, so treat this one as unverified until the crawl accumulates more.
Can I promote my product in r/selfhosted?
Our read on r/selfhosted is medium promo tolerance. A product mention is fine when it genuinely answers the question asked, and unwelcome when it does not. Always read the sidebar rules before you post; moderator enforcement is the thing that actually decides.
