Is r/web_design growing?

How active is r/web_design?
Around 2.2 posts per day, measured from the newest 100 posts on Reddit, which span 45.0 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/web_design created?
r/web_design was founded in January 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/web_design?

Please refer to the Reddit 9:1 rule when considering posting self promoting materials.
