1. The sub

r/SaaS is a relatively small sub with less than 30k subscribers, but with the accelerating growth of 30 subscribers daily.
r/SaaS is rather well moderated and has only 4 simple submission flairs used to filter content. Worth mentioning that r/SaaS mods tolerate "Productive Self-Promotion."

r/SaaS has a low active user/subscriber ratio, making it a sub where people mostly just come and go.

2. The people

It is still hard to clearly qualify who they are (48 qualified), but it is interesting to see that most of them are entrepreneurs (27).
Surprisingly, the second most represented type of people is developers (9) — which is slightly biased since developers easily qualify from the content they submit. But, still!
Only 3 authors have been submitting more than twice:
- Nblearchangel (4 submissions) - primarily to relate and share career hardships
- Special_Campaign_769 (4 submissions) - to validate an idea and understand the feasibility of scrap-based product
- HoffenIsAtItAgain (3 submissions) - to share meaningful content and tips

Ask for tool review (13), Ask for ideation advice (11), and Share tips (10) are the 3 most frequent actions on r/SaaS.
- Again, like for Unbundling r/DevOps report, we see that tool review is a popular theme.
- More surprisingly comes the "Ask for ideation advice" action.
Ask for technical advice (8) comes in 4th place, which I found unexpected. Most of the submissions qualified with this action describe a specific tech problem. I did not expect that discussions would be that technical in this sub.

Offer an AMA (79 median upvotes, aka mu) is the most appreciated action by far. It was a particular AMA with OG Gumroad founder Sahil.
Followed by Share data (35 mu) and Offer services (7 mu). The latter shows that you can still promote your service with tact and generate interest in this sub.
