A live heatmap of when r/ecommerce's top 100 posts of the past year were submitted. The brightest cells are the windows when this community engages most.
Analyze a different subredditBased on 100 top posts from the past year. Times in UTC.
Note: Reddit timestamps are UTC. Subtract or add your offset to convert (EST = UTC-5, PST = UTC-8). Top posts are weighted by total upvotes.
r/ecommerce has a strong US-Pacific weekday daytime peak (16:00-23:00 UTC) reflecting its dropshipping- and DTC-merchant audience. Activity tapers significantly on Sundays. Posts asking specific operational questions (returns, fulfillment, ad attribution) draw consistent engagement throughout the week; broader strategy posts perform better mid-week when the audience has bandwidth to engage in longer threads.
Times above are UTC — the heatmap reflects the trailing 12 months of top posts, so it captures long-term patterns rather than this week's activity. Have questions about how this works? See the main tool page for FAQs.
