Today’s “By the Numbers” installment focuses on Reddit statistics and fun facts.
Reddit is not a public company and is not as talked about in digital pubs like a Facebook, Google or Twitter, so finding interesting facts and stats was a bit tougher than usual for this one.
Thankfully, the network is very up front with some of their major user stats, so that made getting the basics listed a bit easier. If you can think of a Reddit Stat that you’d like to see here, please leave a comment below and I will include it in my next update if I can find the stat somewhere.
This report is a digital collection of every Reddit statistic I have been able to dig up over the years; 60+ of them including stats on:
- Users
- Votes
- Subreddits
- AMAs
- Comments
- Etc.- all in one place
I try to go through each and every stat regularly and update as much as possible, but we all know that some stats are easier to track down than others. As always, every stat is linked to its original source and has the source date listed.

Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. A few of these stats come from Reddit’s own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100% accurate.

That “how many Redditors” stat is incorrect
Indeed, that’s how many were logged in in the last day. That same page has this statistic:
“last month, reddit had 168,519,576 unique visitors”
And while not all of those are account-holders, it seems likely to me that the number who are is more than ~1.8%. Of course there’s always the question of whether you’re required to have an account to be considered “a redditor” but that’s getting a little abstract for simple stats.
