Best time to post on Reddit

It depends on the subreddit, but across the communities we track, activity and scores tend to peak on weekday mornings and midday US time, when the most people are online to vote a fresh post up. Use the overall grid above as a starting point, then check your specific subreddit, because the best window shifts community to community.

No. A global-audience subreddit and a niche one built around a single timezone peak at different hours. That is why this tool leads with an overall grid but lets you check any subreddit individually. The per-subreddit grid is built only from that community's own sampled posts.

We sample recent and top public posts in a subreddit, bucket them into a 24x7 grid by the hour they were published, and score each cell by how those posts performed. The overall grid weights every subreddit by post volume. We only draw a grid once it clears 200 sampled posts, and each panel states its sample size.

No. Timing helps a clean post get seen; it does nothing for a post that breaks a rule. A post that violates a subreddit's rules, trips its karma gate, or hits Reddit's spam filter gets removed at any hour. Check the draft against the subreddit's rules first, then pick a good time.
