Each 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!
I'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?
