About r/doordash
In its own words:
Unofficial DoorDash Community Subreddit
Community guide
r/doordash (#986, about 1.1 million) is an unofficial DoorDash community for dashers and customers—app and order talk, not a courier-shaming board or a place to post a customer’s personal details.
What belongs
Delivery work and orders (about 71 posts/day; text and images). Rules ban spam, posting a customer’s personal information, impersonation, deliberate falsehoods, publicly shaming Dashers, off-topic posts, trolling and violent language; criticism should stay constructive and political content light. Earnings and tips posts, and “Walmart Wednesday,” have their own notes.
Versus general gig-work vent rooms
Wider work-vent rooms do not carry DoorDash’s no-customer-PII and no-courier-shaming rules. This unofficial community stays on the app and the people using it.
Practical pointers
Never post a customer’s details; don’t use the room to pile onto a named dasher.
The community was created on Jul 31, 2015, which makes it 11 years old. Since Oct 26, 2026, it has gained 1,349 subscribers (+0.13%). It sits just behind r/melbourne (#985) and ahead of r/spain (#987) in our ranking.
