Affiliate disclosure
Some links out of this site may earn it a commission. It never changes the order communities are ranked in or what any figure says.
What may earn a commission
Some outbound links to the platforms and communities listed here may be affiliate links. Where one is, and someone joins after following it, this site may receive a payment from the platform. It costs the reader nothing and changes nothing about the price they pay.
What it does not affect
The ordering on every ranked page is a mechanical function of a single published figure, almost always the member count each business publishes about itself. It is computed from the data, not chosen, and there is no field anywhere in this system for a paid or manual position. Nobody can buy a place on any page here, raise their position, or have a listing removed for a fee.
The figures themselves are read from public listings. Each listing page shows the date every figure was read and links to the page it came from. You can see exactly how each is produced on the methodology page.
How this is disclosed
This page is linked from the footer of every page on the site rather than repeated as a label beside each row. That is a deliberate choice about how to say it, not a judgement that it matters less: the disclosure applies to the site as a whole, and this is the page that states it.
Not an endorsement
Nothing here is a recommendation and nobody at this site has joined any of the communities listed. A listing appearing on this site, at any position, is not advice to buy it. If you run one of these communities and something on its page is wrong, the corrections page is the fastest way to have it looked at.
