Show HN: I made a map of Reddit from 176M comments
- anvaka 6y agoEach dot is a subreddit. "countries" are clusters of usually related subreddits. Relationship is determined based on Jaccard Similarity (users who post to A also post to B) This was my hobby over past few years. I collected ~176 million unique pairs `(user, subreddit)` of comments, computed jaccard similarity, clustered a graph, performed a layout, created a webgl renderer and streaming svg parser, and today releasing it to the wild. Hope you enjoy it! * The source code for the rendering is available here: https://github.com/anvaka/map-of-reddit https://github.com/anvaka/map-of-reddit * To change the map - go here https://github.com/anvaka/map-of-reddit-data https://github.com/anvaka/map-of-reddit-data
- trinovantes 6y agoI'm assuming the white dots are also connected subreddits but not enough to show a line? Most of the results I've tried are exactly what I expected e.g. users from my alma mater also post to the same regional subreddits. Were you able to find any interesting/unexpected connections?
