PM subreddits split into two groups. Career-focused ones (interview prep, breaking in, salary) and craft-focused ones (discovery, prioritization, working with engineering). The list below leans craft, with one career-leaning sub flagged so you know what you are getting. Useful for both new PMs and senior folks who want to compare notes. The PM craft conversation is fragmented across subs by tooling and methodology, so picking two or three based on your day-to-day beats reading all seven.
-
r/ProductManagement
The default sub. Mid-sized, active, mostly tilted toward the IC and senior PM range. Daily threads on stakeholder pain, discovery, prioritization frameworks, and the eternal "is PM dying" debate.
Honest take: Mix of career and craft posts. The craft posts are good. The career posts are repetitive. Sort by top-of-week if you want the better threads.
-
r/UXResearch
UXR-specific sub. Useful for PMs because it covers the discovery side of the job in depth. Methodology debates, recruiting participants, synthesis techniques, and tool recommendations.
Honest take: Smaller and quieter than r/ProductManagement, but the post quality is higher. If you do your own research as a PM, this is the better read. Tool recommendation threads here are gold because the audience uses the tools daily.
-
r/UXDesign
The big designer sub. PMs read it to stay in sync with their design partners. Critique threads, portfolio reviews, and tool debates (Figma, Maze, Lookback) come up often.
Honest take: Useful for PMs working closely with design. Not a place to post PM-specific questions, but a great read to understand how designers think and what frustrates them.
-
r/agile
Agile, lean, and scaled-agile chatter. Mostly for coaches and team leads, but PMs benefit from the threads on prioritization, story sizing, and dealing with bad agile implementations.
Honest take: Heavy on theory and certifications. Skim for the rare gem post about a real-world rollout that worked or failed. Skip the SAFe vs LeSS debates.
-
r/scrum
Tightly focused on scrum practice. Sprint planning issues, retro formats, scrum master and PO role debates. Smaller than r/agile, more practical.
Honest take: Useful if your team runs scrum. Skip if you do kanban or your team has its own process. The audience is mostly scrum masters, so PM questions get a scrum-master lens applied.
-
r/startups
For PMs at startups or thinking about jumping. Threads on early-stage product, founding PM roles, and dealing with founders who think they are the PM. The mod team enforces no-promotion rules tightly.
Honest take: Less PM-craft, more startup operator. Useful for context on what your founders are reading and thinking about. If you are a founding PM at an early-stage company, the threads on equity and scope creep are worth the time.
-
r/ProductDesign
The product design sub (more industrial-design and physical products than digital). For PMs working on hardware or hybrid products, this is the place. For software-only PMs, less useful.
Honest take: Niche. Only worth following if your product has a physical component. Otherwise skip and stick to r/UXDesign.
How to find threads worth replying to
PMs ask for tools constantly inside these subs. Roadmap tools, research repos, prioritization frameworks, and analytics platforms come up weekly. Gorilla scans these subreddits (plus X, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram) for first-person demand posts and ranks them by intent. Run Gorilla on your idea →
