What feels like a big missed opportunity for Reddit is having a front-page without the low-quality subreddits. People often say to just never visit /r/popular because of all the garbage, but it's unfortunately the only way to discover subreddits when you’re not looking for anything in particular. Sure, if you know what you're looking for, it's pretty easy to find the appropriate subreddit. But if you just want to wander around, you have to sift through the terrible crap that shows up on /r/popular. I'd love it if there was something that helped filter this content automatically. Currently I keep manually blocking these subreddits, which was a lot of work at first (my block list is currently ~200) but it's helped a lot. I'm trying to solve this for myself actually by starting with filtering low-quality comments on Reddit and HN. I made a Chrome extension that helps me label comments as I read and stores them in Google Sheets. Then I use those labeled comments to train a custom NLP model that can categorize comments (good or bad, hide the comment if it's bad). So far, I'm spending most of my time trying to build a good dataset for my tastes. It's not too bad so far (~80-90% accuracy).
