# Rules **1. No low effort posts.** Share investment ideas and insights or ask thoughtful investing discussion questions. We are not a politics or general corporate news forum. We generally expect that your topic incites responses relating to investing. Any post that contains large amounts of Gen AI text is considered low-effort. **2. Do not make posts looking for advice about your personal situation.** If your question likely has a "right answer", a beginner topic, you simply need help find

r/stocks — frequently asked

How many members does r/stocks have?

r/stocks has 9,382,167 members as of our most recent crawl on Oct 6. 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/stocks growing?

Over the last ≈30 days r/stocks changed by +0.2% — a gain of 21K 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/stocks?

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

r/stocks was founded in June 2008 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/stocks?

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

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

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