Is r/smallbusiness growing?
We don't have 30 days of snapshot history for r/smallbusiness yet, so we're not going to invent a growth number. We've been tracking it since Aug 4; the chart fills in as history accumulates.
How active is r/smallbusiness?
We don't have a reliable posting-rate sample for r/smallbusiness 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/smallbusiness?
Our read on r/smallbusiness is high promo tolerance. It has a promo-friendly culture or a dedicated thread, but that still means being useful first. Always read the sidebar rules before you post; moderator enforcement is the thing that actually decides.
