Frequently asked questions

Which subreddit is the biggest?

That depends on what you count. r/funny has the most members, at 67.62M. The most visited over a week is r/AskReddit, with 12.38M weekly visitors. The most writing happens in r/AskReddit, which carried 1.04M posts and comments in its latest published week.

Someone who stops reading a community is still counted as a member of it, so a member total says more about how many people have joined over the years than about who is there this week. r/funny has 13% more members than r/AskReddit but draws 3.34M weekly visitors against its 12.38M. The member and posting figures cover the communities Oscylo profiles, and the visitor figure is the ranking on this page.

Which subreddit is the most active?

r/AskReddit carried 1.04M posts and comments in the week to Oct 11, 2026, well ahead of the next busiest community Oscylo profiles, r/NoStupidQuestions, which carried 310K. Both are Reddit’s own weekly totals.

Posting and reading are not the same thing, and the gap between them widens further down the list. A community can be opened by millions of people in a week and still have only a few thousand of them write anything, which is why the tables on this page rank on visitors rather than on how much gets posted.

Which subreddit has the most weekly visitors?

r/AskReddit, with 12.38M in the ranking dated Oct 15, 2026. Behind it are r/whatisit at 12.35M and r/mildlyinfuriating at 10.51M.

Weekly visitors is Reddit’s own count of unique visitors over the past seven days, smoothed across a 28-day average, so the figure moves a little each day rather than jumping around. The full list of 250 is in the table near the top of this page.

List changes

Recent arrivals and departures

Changes from Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 15, 2026. Reddit sometimes drops a community from this list even when it is larger than the ones added, and those drops count here as departures. The Oscylo top 250 is the actual top 250 by weekly visitors.

The 10 most recent of each, with each community counted once. A community that has since left drops out of the arrivals, and one that has since come back drops out of the departures. An arrival is dated by the first ranking that listed it; a departure by the last ranking that still did. For an arrival, prev. listed is the last list it was on before it came back, or New on its first time, and lists counts how many of the saved lists it has been on.

About the data

What the rankings measure

Oscylo top 250

The 250 largest communities by weekly visitors within Oscylo’s coverage. The latest ranking draws from 43,455 communities and shares 215 entries with Reddit’s list.

Reddit Explore list

The communities listed on Reddit’s Explore page, with their published visitor counts. Comparisons use complete lists of 250 entries. 63 dated editions are available.

Weekly visitors

Reddit reports unique visitors to each community as a weekly figure averaged over 28 days. Summing communities does not give Reddit’s total audience: a person may be counted in several communities.

Reading the history

The Oscylo series starts on Jul 20, 2026. Historical values include estimates between available readings; totals reflect the membership and coverage of each week. They should not be read as a fixed-group traffic growth rate.

Coverage notes

The two lists use different membership and observation dates. Their difference is a comparison of the lists, not a count of visitors excluded by Reddit. Adult-inclusive comparisons are available separately; names remain hidden on this page.
