Update (2026-03-03)

Reddit has killed the online count. It is now 0 on all subreddits.


Features

  • Supports old and shreddit (the default site)
  • Caching of subreddit data (instant loading)
  • Ability to display both the new counts (viewers) and old (subscribers)
    • New counters can be disabled from the tampermonkey menu
    • New counters can be customized with CSS (for mods)
    • The class names are weekly-viewers and weekly-contributions for the new counters
    • Example where it's customized: r/spezholedesign
    • You may need to fix your stylesheet to prevent the current counters from breaking. https://www.reddit.com/r/Littux/wiki/subscriber-count-css contains instructions on how to fix the Naut theme (most popular theme)
  • Uses native UI elements - meaning subreddit styling on Old Reddit will work again as intended.
  • Fully configurable
  • Translated UI elements for languages: en/lol/pir/de/es/fr/pt/ja/ko/ml

Additional features

These features were only added because the API the script uses also returns the data, so I didn't want it to go to waste.
These can be disabled from the tampermonkey menu.

  • View Devvit app list on Old Reddit
  • Subreddit topic ranking (eg. "#1 in Funny" or "Reddit Meta")
    • Display on the title on Old Reddit
    • Append to browser tab title - useful for searching history, because you can search for something like "anime" and it will return a list of anime subreddits that you visited
      • Example: "spezholedesign" in tab title becomes "spezholedesign - Reddit Meta"
    • Ability to only run "Append to browser tab title" if on the subreddit home page
