r/meteorites is a scientific community focused on discussing and identifying meteorites. Identification posts are welcome, but MUST be posted in the monthly "Suspect Meteorite Identification" thread that is pinned to the top of the sub. Combative, non-productive, and argumentative posts/comments will be removed and such users will be banned.

Answered from the posts ViralHunt holds from this community, not from Reddit's own about page.
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.

We deliberately do not publish an average score: our sample is weighted toward a community's best posts, so an average would be flattering and wrong.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.
