Reddit discussion volume trends - normalized interest in a topic across the platform over time, including growth rate and historical time series. Not raw post counts, but a normalized demand signal calibrated for trend comparison. ### Is this useful for tracking community sentiment around a brand? For volume signals, yes. Trends MCP shows whether discussion around a brand is growing or shrinking. For sentiment, the News source gives sentiment scores; Reddit gives pure volume context. ### Can I track a specific subreddit? The current signal is platform-wide Reddit discussion volume for a keyword. Subreddit-level filtering is on the roadmap. ### How does Reddit trend data complement Google Trends? Reddit often reflects niche, enthusiast, and early-adopter communities before topics reach mainstream Google Search. Comparing both reveals whether interest is still underground or going mainstream. --- ## All data sources Trends MCP covers 12+ sources in one connection: Google Search, YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, Amazon, Wikipedia, News Sentiment, Web Traffic, App Downloads, Steam, npm, and more.
