Reddit Daily Active Users
Reddit reached 101.7 million daily active users (DAU) by the end of Q4 2024. This was a 39% increase from the previous year.
Reddit’s DAU has nearly doubled since early 2023, when the platform had just over 60 million daily users. The growth has been steady, with consistent quarter-over-quarter gains. In Q3 2024, Reddit recorded 97.2 million daily users, compared to 73.1 million in Q4 2023.
Growth Trend Since 2021
Reddit’s daily user base in 2021 hovered around 54 million. It remained flat through 2022, then started to rise in early 2023. From Q1 2023 to Q3 2024, DAU grew by more than 60%.
This growth reflects Reddit’s expansion efforts, including new product features, international growth, and its push into search and advertising.

Registered vs Guest Users
As of Q3 2024, Reddit had 44.1 million logged-in daily users. That’s 45.37% of the total DAU, meaning more than half of Reddit’s daily traffic comes from unregistered or logged-out users.
This split shows Reddit’s unique role as a semi-open platform—one where large-scale anonymous browsing is still common.
Reddit Weekly and Monthly Active Users
Reddit’s weekly and monthly user base shows just how wide its reach has become. As of January 2025, Reddit has over 365 million weekly active users (WAU) and an estimated 1.1 billion monthly active users (MAU).
Weekly Active Users (WAU)
Reddit’s weekly user base climbed steadily through 2023 and 2024. In Q3 2023, the platform had 239.1 million weekly users. By Q3 2024, that number rose to 365.4 million—marking a 52.8% year-over-year increase.

Monthly Active Users (MAU)
In January 2025, Reddit reached an estimated 1.1 billion monthly unique users. Some estimates go even higher, placing Reddit’s MAU around 1.36 billion.
This represents a 48.15% growth from 2022, when Reddit had 918 million monthly users.
Historical MAU Growth:
This consistent rise puts Reddit in closer range to other top platforms, even if its logged-in user base is smaller.
Reddit Users by Country
Reddit’s global reach has expanded sharply, but the United States remains its largest market by far.
As of December 2024, the U.S. had 394 million monthly unique visitors, making up 35.82% of Reddit’s global monthly traffic.

U.S. vs Global Daily Usage
As of Q4 2024, the U.S. accounted for 48.2 million daily active users, or about 49.59% of Reddit’s daily traffic.
That means the remaining 50.41%—roughly 49 million users—came from outside the U.S. Reddit has managed to maintain a relatively balanced daily audience between domestic and international users.
This user distribution supports Reddit’s future growth outside its core U.S. market.
Logged-in vs Logged-out Reddit Users
Reddit stands out from other social platforms by supporting large volumes of logged-out traffic. As of Q3 2024, only 45.37% of Reddit’s daily users were logged in.
That means over 53 million daily users visit Reddit without signing in.
Logged-in User Growth
Reddit’s logged-in daily users have grown steadily, reaching 44.1 million in Q3 2024. That’s up from 36.4 million at the end of 2023, and 31.1 million in early 2023.
This rise shows more users are creating accounts, especially as Reddit adds features like personalized feeds and post history tracking.
Key Logged-in User Stats:
Why Logged-out Usage Still Dominates
Reddit still sees heavy use from anonymous users. Over 53 million people browse Reddit daily without logging in. Many treat Reddit more like a search engine or news site—visiting to read posts or threads without interacting.
This split affects Reddit’s data personalization and ad targeting capabilities, but it also sets the platform apart as a semi-open web property.

Reddit Revenue Growth
Reddit’s revenue hit $1.3 billion in 2024, a sharp jump from $804 million in 2023. This marks a 61.7% year-over-year increase, fueled mainly by advertising.
The fourth quarter alone generated $427.7 million, showing strong momentum heading into 2025.
Year-by-Year Revenue Comparison
Here’s how Reddit’s revenue has grown over the last three years:
The biggest jump came in 2024, with Reddit benefiting from its IPO buzz, improved ad tools, and higher engagement.
Where Reddit Revenue Comes From
About 98% of Reddit’s revenue came from advertising. Sponsored posts, display ads, and promoted communities are the main formats.
In 2023, just 10 advertisers contributed 26% of all revenue, indicating Reddit is still reliant on big brands—but that’s slowly shifting as more advertisers join.
Reddit’s ability to monetize its growing user base will remain key to future profitability.
Subreddit Count and Top Subreddits
As of January 2025, Reddit hosts over 141,000 active subreddits, up from 100,000 a year earlier. This 41% growth in active communities reflects Reddit’s expanding niche appeal and global user base.
Subreddits are core to Reddit’s identity. Each one is a mini-forum focused on a specific topic—from general humor to niche hobbies.
Most Popular Subreddits (2025)
Reddit’s largest subreddits continue to be centered around entertainment, humor, and general discussion. Here are the top 10 subreddits by number of members:
- r/funny – 64 million members
- r/AskReddit – 49 million
- r/gaming – 44 million
- r/worldnews – 41 million
- r/todayilearned – 38 million
- r/aww – 36 million
- r/Music – 35.9 million
- r/memes – 35.2 million
- r/movies – 34.2 million
- r/Showerthoughts – 33.7 million
More than 500 subreddits now have over 1 million subscribers each, showing just how broad Reddit’s user interests have become.
Reddit’s open model encourages constant subreddit creation, which helps sustain long-term user engagement.

Reddit Mobile App Usage and Time Spent
Reddit saw 42 million app installs across iOS and Android in 2024, a slight increase from 40.4 million the year before. While Reddit’s mobile growth trails other social platforms, engagement among mobile users is still strong.
Daily Mobile Engagement
Only 7% of Reddit users opened the app daily in Q4 2023. That’s lower than Instagram (43%), TikTok (32%), or Snapchat (25%). However, Reddit users tend to spend more time per session compared to other forums.
In the U.S., Reddit users spend about 30 minutes a day on the app.
Breakdown of Time Spent:
Longer session times suggest Reddit users are deeply engaged when they’re active—even if they’re not visiting every day.
Time by Account Age
Reddit users who joined recently average 20 minutes per day.
But longtime users (5+ years) spend closer to 35 minutes daily, while those active for over 7 years average 45 minutes per day. This shows how Reddit becomes a bigger part of daily habits over time.
Post and Comment Volume on Reddit
Reddit remains one of the most content-rich platforms online. In 2024, users published 550 million posts, a 17.27% increase from the previous year.
By 2025, that number is expected to rise to 616 million posts.
Annual Post Growth
Here’s Reddit’s post volume over recent years:
This steady increase reflects broader user activity and growth in active subreddits.
Comment and Interaction Volume
In 2024, Reddit users generated 2.72 billion comments and interactions—slightly down from 2.84 billion in 2023.
Despite the dip, Reddit’s engagement remains massive, and 2025 projections point to a rebound with an estimated 3.14 billion interactions.

User Demographics: Gender and Age
Reddit’s user base still skews young and male, though those trends are slowly shifting as the platform expands.
Gender Breakdown
As of 2025, Reddit’s global user base is:
- 61.2% male
- 37.8% female
This male-heavy ratio has stayed fairly stable over the years. Reddit’s anonymous format and tech-focused history may contribute to the gender gap, although some subreddits have more balanced communities.
Average User Age
The average age of a Reddit user is 23.03 years, with a median age of 22. That’s younger than most other major platforms.
Reddit’s popularity among college students and early-career professionals helps explain this demographic. Younger users also tend to spend more time browsing Reddit daily compared to older users.
As Reddit grows internationally, especially in countries like India and Brazil, the average user age may stay low while the total user count continues rising.

Reddit Employee Headcount
As of December 2023, Reddit employed 2,013 people globally. This represents a 45.5% increase since 2021, when the company had 1,383 employees.
Where Reddit Employees Are Based
Of the 2,013 total employees:
- 1,619 were based in the United States
- The remaining 394 worked in international offices
This U.S.-heavy distribution aligns with Reddit’s largest user base still being American, as well as the company’s headquarters in San Francisco.
Employee Growth Over Time
Reddit has steadily grown its workforce in line with platform expansion and revenue growth.
Year-End Employee Count:
- 2021: 1,383
- 2022: 1,942
- 2023: 2,013
As Reddit invests more in content moderation, AI tools, and advertising tech, further headcount growth is expected through 2025.

Conclusion
Reddit has grown into one of the internet’s largest social platforms, with over 1.1 billion monthly active users and more than 141,000 active subreddits. Its user base continues to expand across the U.S. and globally, while daily engagement climbs steadily.
Key metrics—like a 39% year-over-year DAU increase, $1.3 billion in 2024 revenue, and over 550 million posts—show that Reddit is no longer just a niche forum. It’s a mainstream content network that still retains its community-driven roots.
With more mobile usage, rising ad revenue, and deeper global penetration, Reddit’s momentum heading into 2025 signals sustained growth and influence—especially for brands, creators, and researchers tracking digital communities.
