I share your interest in creating graphs (vide some older project of mine, a map of Stack Exchange tags https://p.migdal.pl/tagoverflow/).
When I dived into various visualization of Subreddits (as a background reading for this side-project https://observablehq.com/@stared/tree-of-reddit-sex-life), your vis was the best for exploration (out of many, many). The only other one that I found and this level was a Sigma.js-based https://www.jacobsilterra.com/subreddit_map/network/ (beautiful, but more static).
