Theory Of Reddit
Founded June 2010 · Public — anyone can post
r/theoryofreddit is a place for discussing theories about reddit and what makes Reddit tick. It is not for asking for help with some Reddit feature, or complaining that you got banned. Topics are expected to be more substantiative than an idle anecdotal observation; low quality posts will be removed at community and moderator discretion.

r/TheoryOfReddit — frequently asked
How many members does r/TheoryOfReddit have?
r/TheoryOfReddit has 197,330 members as of our most recent crawl on Sep 15. 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/TheoryOfReddit growing?
We don't have 30 days of snapshot history for r/TheoryOfReddit yet, so we're not going to invent a growth number. We've been tracking it since Sep 15; the chart fills in as history accumulates.
How active is r/TheoryOfReddit?
Around 0.7 posts per day, measured from the newest 100 posts on Reddit, which span 138.6 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/TheoryOfReddit created?
r/TheoryOfReddit was founded in June 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.
Who posts in r/TheoryOfReddit?
Of the last 100 posts we sampled, 93% came from distinct accounts; the newest was published Sep 15. 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/TheoryOfReddit?
We don't have a promo-tolerance read for r/TheoryOfReddit 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/TheoryOfReddit for mentions?
