For examining the various groups in various subreddits. /u/RedditAnalysisBot is open source. You can view it here.
I filter posts by flair now.
I open sourced the bot because:
- If there's a flaw it's more likely to be noticed
- It offers some transparency
- If I disappear and someone wants to run more drilldowns they'll be able to without building another bot from scratch
How does the bot work?
- First, it grabs the latest 1000 threads from a subreddit's hot queue.
- Second, it compiles a list of usernames from the creators of those threads along with the people commenting in them.
- Finally, the bot crawls through their user history to find out where else they post while keeping tally to see which subreddits have the highest overlap.
Similarity
This section will be added to the bot after I finish the current queue (for consistency). I also need some time to properly implement it and maybe make this bot faster.
Other stuff:
- I excluded default and former default subreddits
I take requests for specific subreddits.
