See what is climbing here before you write
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.
Every figure here is what ViralHunt has captured from r/lol, 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 We deliberately do not publish an average score: our sample is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.
