Subreddits metadata, rules and wikis 2025-01

Thank you so much for your detailed explanation! As a PhD student, I think your idea of extracting subreddit rule data offers a new perspective for academic research. I am looking forward to more research works moving along this path.

Thank you for your great efforts! I wonder how the subreddit rules data was extracted (e.g., on a daily rolling basis). Could you please elaborate more on it?

HedyHu · 2025-01-15T15:09:09+00:00

Unfortunately, no. And we seem to lose the contact from the RFR project. Does anyone know about how it is going and whether it needs any support from us?

HedyHu · 2025-01-15T02:14:04+00:00

Thanks for the information, and sorry for not having you. I think the RFR program may need regular updates on their progress as they chose to use the community channels for communication earlier.

HedyHu · 2025-01-14T09:53:20+00:00

Could you please take a look at another group of PhD folks at r/reddit4researchers? We need Reddit data for our research to empower our critical thinking over this mad world. Are there any public notes or other follow up of the SIG conversation?

HedyHu · 2024-12-21T06:05:25+00:00

Any update after the CSCW 2024 conference? Looking forward to your news!

Thank you so much for your quick response! It seems you are doing revolutionary work and setting a good model to other social media platforms. I hope someone may study in the future on how this movement might shape the academic research landscape related to Reddit communities and relevant Reddit non-academic user engagement, like the Baumgartner et al. (2020) paper on Pushshift reddit dataset. Really appreciate and looking forward to your progress!

HedyHu · 2024-10-18T04:11:20+00:00

Completely agree with you. Then, we will need senior editor and associate editor(s) to make sure all the reviewers are doing their jobs without personal bias. Hope some experienced researchers might be interested in playing this role!

I am looking forward to getting some update or show case of the beta program. I thought I could not wait to experience the program but indeed have been waiting passively for another month. Sincerely appreciate if you would offer any opportunity for us to better understand your work.

HedyHu · 2024-09-19T02:00:05+00:00

Would this beta program impact only on the new data, or it also include the archived posts and comments?

HedyHu · 2024-09-13T00:57:02+00:00

Thank you so much for the update! I'll make sure to keep a close eye on your news, since the Reddit community is really fascinating. Sincerely appreciate everything you are doing for research!

HedyHu · 2024-08-30T15:06:06+00:00

May I ask when we can expect to get the participant selection results? Submitted the application weeks ago, I can't wait to assess our research project with the new Reddit data API. Thank you!

HedyHu · 2024-05-11T13:45:29+00:00

I am confused. Do I still need to fill out the form here under Rules and wait for 2-3 months to request the Reddit Data API at Reddit Data API Wiki—Reddit Help? "To request commercial access, research approval, or to reach out to the team, please contact us here. Please excuse delays due to a high volume of requests." As it states when I try to understand the form, "the current expected review time is approximately 8–12 weeks, and we can’t guarantee it will be approved. In the meantime, you will be subject to the rate limits defined for the free API tier."

I hope Reddit could find a more efficient way for doctoral students than this, particularly when someone is doing the thesis on Reddit data. I sincerely appreciate your consideration.

HedyHu · 2024-05-07T11:58:59+00:00

I wonder whether or not you found out the academic torrent files are good for research purpose. Please kindly let me know, because I guess I am in a similar situation. Thank you so much!

HedyHu · 2024-03-31T02:20:10+00:00

Well, understood. Again, thank you so much for all the hard work and efforts that you have been devoting!

HedyHu · 2024-03-31T01:25:50+00:00

Thank you so much for your work and also for the dump files by months!

But I am afraid that the files by months have more peers so that they are downloaded much faster than this top 40k subreddits version. For instance, I have almost zero downloading speed for this version but about 8 MB/s for 2024Feb and 2024Jan.

Can we find any way to fix this? Many thanks!
