How these numbers are made

Every number on this page is counted from public Reddit posts and comments back to 2005 and recalculated each month when the next full month of data is processed. The current figures cover data through September 2026.

“People” means accounts that posted or commented. Accounts on a maintained list of known bots and AutoModerator are left out; bots not yet on the list are counted as people. People who only read Reddit are not visible in public posts, so they are not included, which is why Reddit’s own user counts are higher.

Age, gender and country come only from what people say about themselves in posts and comments. They describe the Redditors who share these details, not every account.
