Map of Reddit

But the link-relationship methodology is interesting (similar to something like PageRank through backlinks).
But it's not the methodology I'd have initially gravitated towards.
My first instinct would be relations based on subscription overlap. This seems like it should group commonalities based on the user interests. This may also have alleviated some of the SPAM issues.
Though it would have been interesting to see both approaches merged together.
The weirdness in disparate interests is smoothed out by having a large sample size.
I'm trying to find details of the algorithm. In the meantime, here's an interview with the inventor of AudioScrobbler, which merged with Last.fm to provide its recommendations system: https://www.wired.com/2012/11/richard-jones-scrobbling
Well, have you read the methodology used by this map?
> Each dot is a subreddit. Two dots within the same cluster are usually close to each other if multiple users frequently leave comments on both subreddits.
So it's not exactly about subscribers, but it's the same idea, which proves your refutation wrong.
I've been a reddit user for 15 years.
I have a fairly good memory. So many reposts from even years ago.
Fine, if nobody had seen such post prior, but an indicator of just how frequently a reposted URL is useful, though antithetical to $model.
Or you can go to reddit.com/$URL (<- They hate it when I tell people this because it's a feature that I wrote 15 years ago as a URL rewrite in the load balancer that they have to maintain as they change load balancers)
Fun fact: That feature exists because I made reddit's co-founder Steve write it for me in exchange for a place to sleep.
Sorry that I can't stand new reddit.
I think that there should be a visual indicator maybe from green - yellow - red background or something based on the frequency of reposts etc...
I consume reddit for new stuff...
After being a user for literally 15 years. I am ready to delete my account.

More detail from the repo: https://github.com/anvaka/map-of-reddit
- Language learning communities
- Latin America (except Brazil which is in the RPG region because of r/TibiaMMO)
- Italy, Spain and Portugal (the latter is located between China and Japan for mysterious low-dimensionality representation reasons)
Other European countries with funny locations:
- Germany in the soccer region (as Gary Lineker once famously said "Football is a simple game: 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and, in the end, the Germans always win")
- France in the Canada region (Quebec strong)
- The Netherlands in the EDM region
could that have a real world reason given that Macau used to be a Portuguese colony as well as Brazil hosting the largest Japanese diaspora population in the world?
It would be nice if the shown links were not restricted to a single "country", as I bet r/dogsandplants (which is part of Cats) is tied to a bunch of dog reddits, but those are not shown.
Bonus - My roommate works at Amazon and works part time with Andrei in some capacity (don’t know the full details), but anyway he has mentioned multiple times how cool and out of his way helpful Andrei is.
I bring this up because when someone of any notoriety is nice I think it’s really cool. I’ve met some ‘big’ tech people who definitely weren’t!

It’s a searchable and visual graph of subreddits, mindmap style.
And yes, one should be careful with porn, consuming it in a bad way can lead to harmful coping mechanisms or problems with sex; seek help if you feel that you’re not in control.
I don’t say this to upset anyone, but anyone who is upset will benefit greatly from curbing the tendency toward denial and honestly asking “Am I an addict?”
This seems a personal opinion and unhelpful. Others might say avoiding porn is pathetic; I think this topic should be discussed without name calling.
I like the comparison to alcohol. I don’t drink but I wouldn’t shame those who do (unless they have a compulsion or they drink to avoid problems).
No. Being a pathetic wanker who beats it to videos of things he lacks the agency to experience personally is in fact objectively shameful.
Maybe that's where they should be.
part of it is also community. From a quick glance I recognize that r/hentai is in anime island instead of R34. But the moderation of r/hentai has (or used to have) many moderators from other anime subs, and some regular posters will alternate between r/hentai, r/manga, or r/animemes. That can play a part in which communities decide to form and comingle.
Microsoft and Windows 10 in netsec(!?) along with Facebook.
Google and Apple occupying a sea of banal self referential subs and consumption. Amazon is there, too just super small.
Very interesting.
*Hopefully before anyone searches it on the map -- it appears that r/jojo was taken by some singer/actress. I was referring to the anime "Jojo's bizarre adventure," which has a capital of "r/shitpostcrusaders."
(I guess unless you wanted to render little overflights by airplanes or something)
The new reddit design is so problematic in so many ways. So many of the "related subreddits" sidebars (all?) are just eliminated in the redesigned site.
For anybody else who didn't realise - click on a circle to pop up a little preview of that subreddit, then click 'street view'. You can navigate in street view by clicking to bring up a crosshair, then using WSAD.
I feel like in a social environment, Just because you don't find everything you want immediately is a feature, not a bug, like getting off in a part of town you don't know and talking to a person you didn't expect. In hindsight, "11 year old explore the city me" never left - still fun 30+ years later
More specifically, the groupings would be user accounts (this distinction is important for understanding Porn Island).
i'm curious because i would like to go another step and see how many hops it takes to get from A->B
Happy for the change, it made the website more unusable then it already was.
Haven't been able to find it since.
Feels like something fundamental is wrong with the methodology. It appears they gave up on the large subreddits, perhaps because they were linked to everything.
It was really surprising to me that they'd be shadowbanning comments I would make to reply to other people in already buried (controversial) threads.
Th methodology is cutting off edges that cross between categories too, which in some cases I think is giving a distorted idea of how the subreddits are organized.
- WorldPacks (WorldPacks, NSFWPublic, DiscordNudes as some of the larger ones)

- NSFW (NSFW, Celebs, Porn, Boobies)
- Blowjob (Blowjob, painal, creampies, PornVids)
- NSFW Glamour (abelladanger, Miakhalifa, RileyReid, PornStarHQ)
- Perky (Perky, NSFWBox, CamOrgasm, ForgotToPullOut)
- Glamour (KatyPerry, EmmaWatson, ArianaGrande)
- Onmww (Onmww, obsf, gilf, ErinAshford)
- grool (Grool, Anal, squirting, simps)

- GoneWildPlus (GoneWildPlus, BBWGW, PerkyChubby)
- feet (feet, sexsells, bdsm, gonewildaudio)
- NSFW India (IndianGoneWild, RepressedGoneWild, ArabPorn)
- texas nsfw (TexansGoneWild, TexasSwingers, TexasCuckoldCommunity)
The names are mostly just the names of one of the larger or more centrally connected subreddits in the country, and what some of them include seems pretty arbitrary.
And you can probably find "New Zealand"'s "Gay" and "Traps" countries pretty easily, and have no trouble telling them apart.
