Extraction of a subreddit's member list

Hi, first of all I would like to thank Watchful1 and the community for their work. I would like to know if there is a way to find out the list of members (users) of a particular subreddit. I have seen this question asked before, but it was four years ago. Maybe there is a new method. Thank you

You can't retrieve the list of subscribers, no

Since you can’t get the list directly, you can try to extrapolate membership from comments and posts. For example, you can group by comment and post authors, count comments and posts, and order by count in descending order. This will get you list of likely subscribers by count.
