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.
Start free →Every figure here is what ViralHunt has captured from r/Helicopters, 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 We deliberately do not publish an average score: our sample is weighted toward a community's best posts, so an average would be flattering and wrong.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.
