A live heatmap of when r/freelance'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 99 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/freelance activity is highest during US business hours (14:00-22:00 UTC) when freelancers are working and break-scrolling. The Monday morning US window tends to be busy as people start the week thinking about pipeline. Weekend activity is meaningfully lower — many freelancers actively step away from work conversations on weekends. Posts asking about rates, contracts, or specific client situations consistently get the highest engagement.
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.
