1/5 Putting out the data from dreamup.games/dndrpg/ that I collected from reddit, September to December. For a total of 34 320 unique users that posted/commented during these months, 25 563 were active solely on r/dnd (75%), 7 972 on r/rpg (23%) and 785 on both (2%). 
2/5 So, 3 out of 4 of all unique users in the two biggest RPG subreddits are active only in r/dnd. If we look for #TTRPGs ranked on ICv2 and look at subreddit subscribers, something like r/pathfinder has 29 948, r/shadowrun 40 697, r/rpg 1 307 575 and r/dnd 2 234 415.
3/5 One question is if r/dnd can be a gateway for other RPGs as compared with r/rpg. So, I've also looked at the smaller subreddits to check the possible overlap. For example, r/dnd and r/shadowrun had 69 users in common while r/rpg shared 124 with that subreddit.
4/5 So, the smaller group of users is also more open to other games. A possible exception is r/pathfinder in which r/dnd has 31 users and r/rpg has 23. But for something like r/callofcthulhu the difference is again considerable with 59 for r/dnd and 179 for r/rpg.
5/5 Reddit itself was chosen because, unlike most active platforms, the data on each subreddit is easily available, anyone can verify it. The code for this little project is available on github.com/rotvr/subreddi… Thanks for coming to my TED talk #MakeRPGsNotWar
