Veganism: A philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Welcome to r/vegetarian, a community for anyone interested in a vegetarian diet. While you don’t have to be a vegetarian to participate, we ask that you respect the focus of our community by staying on topic and refraining from promoting non-vegetarian foods. Most of us are based in the U.S. and consider vegetarianism to include dairy and/or eggs. Please take a moment to read the rules and familiarize yourself with Reddiquette before posting.

r/vegan — frequently asked

How many members does r/vegan have?

r/vegan has 1,987,078 members as of our most recent crawl on Sep 11. 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/vegan growing?

Over the last ≈32 days r/vegan changed by +0.3% — a gain of 6.7K 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/vegan?

Around 34.0 posts per day, measured from the newest 100 posts on Reddit, which span 2.9 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/vegan created?

r/vegan was founded in March 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.

Who posts in r/vegan?

Of the last 100 posts we sampled, 89% came from distinct accounts; the newest was published Sep 11. 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/vegan?

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

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

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