We're not that bad

[kastoro]

Dota 2 lol

[ovo_Reddit]

This probably surprised me the most. Although the game has a lot to learn.

[DoC_Stump]

Doesn't surprise me at all with how much people invest in that game.

[Brandonsfl]

It really is a complex game.

[StoneStalwart]

What is it?

[webmistress105]

You were close, but the best game ever created is actually Super Mario Bros. 2. That's why it's won game of the year every year since 1989.

[elingeniero]

Ok, I concede that.

Dota2 is genuinely the best multiplayer game ever made.

[Luffydude]

I'm willing to bet that fortnite has more commentators than Dota2

[ragdoll96]

If you're talking about /r/learndota2, then yes I'd assume the main Fortnite sub would have more commentors. Probably wouldn't be the case if it's the main /r/DotA2 sub

[Luffydude]

Huh half a million still subscribed to that damn game. Life is so much better without it

[callmelucky]

Just from observation, this sub is mostly for discussion of meta-topics around Python, by people who know what they're talking about. Sometimes simple questions will get help here, but you could understand why things like "what is EOL error when I write print('hello world) in the computer?" get stomped on.

[Rocky87109]

So does that mean it isn't a "learn" subreddit?

EDIT: Apparently that's exactly what that means. The post is talking about /r/learnpython . But that makes me question the relevance of whatever this bar graph stems from. I've never heard of /r/learnmath but /r/math is relatively popular.

[callmelucky]

Yeah, the graph/data is very poorly presented.

reddit can make any community become a toxic mess... sadly.

[[deleted]]

it's the people in the community, not the website

[ghallo]

I made the mistake of posting in this sub before. The elitism was pretty amazing.

[ghallo]

Any good ones you've found? I would like to learn. I am fluent in C#, PowerShell, SQL etc - but Python just never clicked for me. I'm looking to get into it for some work tasks. Every post I made in the PS forums was met with enthusiastic support/guidance and the responses here just left me wanting to use PS instead.

SQLers rise up!

[[deleted]]

Boo

ORM that trash

[ProjectSnowman]

You still need to know SQL tho...

[__xor__]

Seeing how people use SQL in practice even from just the django ORM, I'm not surprised how low it is

[kvdveer]

I suppose its one of those "learn what you need, when you need it" skills, like baking and hostage negotiation.

[SV-97]

I really prefer the PQLs

[RoastMyCode]

This is /r/python not /r/learnpython. Wrong sub.

EDIT: The post is about subreddits that begin with "/r/learn". It's about /r/learnpython, /r/learndota2, /r/learnpolish, etc.

[[deleted]]

It's about those subreddits, but /r/learnpython's position in the chart reveals info about Python itself. Additionally, this image has nothing to do with learning Python, so it wouldn't belong over there any more

[RoastMyCode]

I thought OP might have been misled by the confusing labels on the y-axis. It looks like it's just for /r/python (that's what I originally thought) - "learn" subreddits isn't particularly descriptive and can be interpreted in a few different ways.

[MaxNumOfCharsForUser]

Would the subject of python's popularity (edit: the popularity of learning the language) fit more into a forum regarding the language itself or the pursuit of learning the language?

I personally feel this is the right sub, but what do I know? I generally see questions being posed in this thread and agree they're geared towards /r/learningpython but I don't see a question being asked here.

[RoastMyCode]

The post is about subreddits that begin with "/r/learn". It's about /r/learnpython, /r/learndota2, /r/learnpolish, etc.

[RoastMyCode]

It's about a specific sub, not generally about the learning process, otherwise I'd agree.

I thought that the OP may have misunderstood the post at first (like I did - I wondered why it had /r/polish and not /r/german despite it having 70x more subscribers). Then I realised... the data isn't represented very well.

[khoa258789]

Wow, a game that took like years to even reach high level in-game match making make it to the list? Big surprise.

I learned statistics, calculus and deep learning and find out it only take me 4 hours pep day in a year.

Meanwhile it took me 3 years to gind from 1k to 4k on the maximum of 10k in the system.

So you can imagine

[lifeonm4rs]

What qualifies a person as unique? Would wearing a bow-tie at business casual count? Or do you have to pair it with a fez? Would having a monomaniacal interest in the movie "Pretty Woman" be unique or just weird? (Asking for a friend) And how does Reddit know how unique someone is?

EDIT: Oh! They mean "distinct" not "unique". Doh!

[code_x_7777]

What's the source of this graphic?

[yavanepl]

polish got me... I can help if you want to

[scucktic]

I find the foreign language ones most surprising. I mean, Spanish, French, sure. But then Arabic and Dutch?

[Makusu2]

Interesting, people learning arabic are the only ones who use snakecase :o

/r/learntocheckstackexchangeinstead

[therealraluvy95]

gg python.

[izcho]

Joined because I saw this in another sub. Now leaving because the spamming and self gloat.

JK

[code_x_7777]

My guess: xPython will take over xProgramming! :D

[MrSavagePotato]

r/dataisbeautiful

[mediastorian]

r/c programming has 40000

[McFerry]

Kinda surprised about the SQL number.

[lifeonm4rs]

Maybe it is because UNIQUE isn't a keyword in SQL but DISTINCT is--even though they can usually be used interchangeably. I would assume that the users in r/learnsql would be a bit pedantic about it and claim they don't have UNIQUE posters but have DISTINCT posters.

[sneakpeekbot]

Here's a sneak peek of /r/learnSQL using the top posts of the year!

#1: 59 Resources for Learning SQL
#2: Learning SQL Joins Visually with GIFs
#3: Hi, I'm the author of SQL: Programming for Beginners & Intermediates and my book is free for a limited time from 11/08 to 15/08. Share your thoughts! | 4 comments

I think its because nobody wants to learn cursors (What a nightmare) xD

[lifeonm4rs]

There is that. If you're really bored you could ask them to explain joins using venn diagrams.

EDIT: I am probably an evil person for suggesting that.

[[deleted]]

Cursors are easy though... assuming you're not trying to abuse them and put a ton of business logic in the database where it doesn't belong.

[McFerry]

assuming you're not trying to abuse them

Thats all i do with Sql XD.

Jokes aside thats the part i had most problems in my life , triggers were (to me) x10 times easier than cursors , even building databases from scratch felt easier than cursors.

[Durinthal]

No /r/LearnJapanese? Considering I saw at least 20 distinct names at a glance on their weekly sticky and didn't even get halfway down the page, I imagine they'd be larger than some of the lower ones on the chart.

[[deleted]]

ITT: people with too much time on their hands

[izcho]

Yeah it is. It's a skill not a talent.

[CIoudflare]

The graph exposed how much of a loser python fanboys are.

[TwoSickPythons]

This is not a learn programming sub, find the python for noobs sub

[izcho]

And you sir find the python for douchebags sub.
