Free subreddit stats

Enter a community name to see its subreddit stats in one place: subscribers, age, every rule, the moderators, what you're allowed to post, and the top posts of the week.

Each run counts as 2 of your 10 free daily runs.

How it works

  1. 1Type a subreddit name, with or without r/, or paste its URL.
  2. 2We fetch the community's profile and its top posts of the past week.
  3. 3You get one card with the numbers, the rules and the posts that did well.

What you get

  • Name, title and description
  • Subscriber count
  • Creation date and NSFW flag
  • Every rule, with its full text
  • Moderators and the date each joined
  • Posting settings: allowed post types and whether posting is restricted
  • Top 5 posts of the past week

Use cases

  • Read a community's rules before you post so your post doesn't get removed.
  • Check whether a subreddit allows links, images or only text posts.
  • Look at a community's top posts of the week to see what kind of post it rewards.
  • Compare the size and age of a few communities before you pick one.

What subreddit stats show you

Subreddit stats answer the questions you have before posting in a new community: how big is it, what are the rules, who runs it, and what does it reward? Enter a name and everything comes back on one card.

  • Size and age: the subscriber count and the date the community was created.
  • Rules: every rule the moderators wrote, with the full text and not only the title.
  • Moderators: who moderates the community and when each one joined.
  • Posting settings: whether it takes links, text, images, videos, polls or galleries, and whether posting is restricted to approved users.
  • Top posts this week: the five posts that scored highest over the past seven days.

The top posts are often the most useful part. They show the tone, format and length a community upvotes, and a rule list won't tell you that.

Why the rules matter more than the size

A large subreddit that bans self-promotion is worth less to you than a small one that welcomes it. Many communities remove any post that links to a product, require a flair, or only allow promotion in one weekly thread. You'll find those details in the rules.

An empty rule list doesn't always mean the community has no rules. When Reddit's main source is unavailable, we use a fallback that can't see rules or moderators, and the page leaves those fields blank instead of guessing. Run it again later to get the full card.

These stats are a snapshot of today. The page doesn't track growth over time.

Get subreddit stats from your code

The same profile is available through the API at /docs/tools/reddit-subreddit, and the weekly top posts come from /docs/tools/reddit-subreddit-posts. An AI agent can read a community's rules before it drafts a post. To find communities in the first place, start with the Subreddit Finder, then browse any feed with Subreddit Posts.

Questions

Why does this page count as two free runs?
It makes two calls, one for the community's profile and one for its top posts of the week. Each call counts as one run.
Can I see stats for a private subreddit?
No. Private and banned communities don't share their profile with logged-out visitors, so the page reports that the subreddit wasn't found.
Does this show subscriber growth over time?
No. It shows the current subscriber count and the date the community was created. It doesn't keep a history.
What do the posting settings mean?
They're the community's own switches: which post types it accepts, whether link flair is on, and whether only approved users can post. A restricted community will remove posts from everyone else.
Is this tool free?
Yes. Each visitor gets 10 free runs a day, and each run shows the first rows of the result. With a free account you see the full page, and the API has no daily cap beyond your credits and rate limit.
Is this affiliated with Reddit?
No. ChatterAPI is independent and not affiliated with Reddit, Inc. or X Corp.
