Previously, Reddit has focused more on its monthly user count when discussing its growth Reddit last year said it had about 430 million monthly users. Facebook is in a social media league by itself, meanwhile, with more than 1.8 billion DAUs, and Instagram, which it owns, had 500 million users posting to Stories each day the last time it shared an update in early 2019. Snapchat recently shared it has 249 million DAUs, for example, and Twitter has 187 million DAUs, even after posting lackluster Q3 growth recently. Reddit told The Wall Street Journal that daily usage grew 44 percent year over year for October, a sizable increase on a metric that speaks to just how essential a product it is to its users.
Despite Reddit’s big year-over-year growth on the DAU front, though, it still trails other big-name tech companies. The company showed growth in its number of daily active users and posted its fifth quarterly profit in a row, but it also said its monthly user count slipped. The Verge reports: Reddit revealed that it now has 52 million daily users, and the number appears to be growing quickly. And even with that figure rising quickly, Reddit’s daily user base still falls well short of other major tech platforms like Snapchat and Twitter.ĬOO Jen Wong told the WSJ Reddit’s DAU count is up 44% from the same time last year - signaling its another platform that’s received a boost due to more people spending time inside and online due to COVID-19. Reddit on Tuesday shared for the first time ever how many daily active users it has, telling the Wall Street Journal it has 52 million DAUs.
