Overview

Monthly Mentions shows the number of Reddit posts and comments matching your tracked keywords that were discovered in each individual calendar month. Unlike Cumulative Mentions, this metric does not carry forward. Each bar represents only the activity within that specific month, making it possible to compare performance month-over-month. Note: If you’ve hit your plan mention cap (e.g., 5,000, 20,000, 100,000), older mentions may be missing. Months that pushed you over the limit may show fewer mentions than actually exist in Reddit.

How Is It Calculated?

Aggregation Logic

The chart aligns to calendar month boundaries. For each month in the selected time range:
  1. The start and end of the month are calculated
  2. All mentions with a createdAt timestamp falling within that window are counted
  3. That count — and only that count — is plotted as the bar for the month
There is no carry-forward. If February had 200 mentions and March had 150, the bars show 200 and 150 respectively.

Filters Applied Before Charting

The backend applies the same filters as the Cumulative Mentions chart:
  • 2-year limit – mentions older than 2 years are excluded
  • Client isolation – only the selected client’s keyword data is included
  • Target subreddit filter – respects any subreddit restrictions configured per keyword
  • Keyword type filter – optionally restrict to Brand, Competitor, or Industry
  • Sentiment filter – optionally restrict to positive, neutral, or negative mentions
  • Specific keyword filter – optionally isolate a single tracked term

Available Time Ranges

The time range selector controls how many months are shown. The chart always aligns to the first of the month for the earliest period in the range:
