ViralHunt tracks Reddit and eight other networks, records how every post grows, and puts what is taking off in front of your team in one list.
Start free →Every figure here is what ViralHunt has captured from r/Astronomy, not everything the community has ever posted. We deliberately do not publish an average score: our sample is weighted toward a community's best posts, so an average would be flattering and wrong. Peak per 1,000 members is computed the same way for every community listed. See how we measure.
