| # reddit-subreddits |
|
|
| One row per subreddit, derived from the January 2025 subreddit metadata files in |
| [Binxk/pushshift-reddit](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Binxk/pushshift-reddit). |
|
|
| ## Contents |
|
|
| | source_type | subreddits | |
| |-------------|-----------:| |
| | public | 2,776,279 | |
| | restricted | 1,923,526 | |
| | private | 182,045 | |
| | other | 100 | |
| |
| Total: 4,881,950 subreddits. |
| |
| **Null-metadata rows:** about 1.5 million public rows have null `subscribers`, |
| `over18`, `quarantine`, and `lang` together. These are subreddits that existed at |
| some point but were banned, deleted, or unfetchable when the metadata was scraped |
| (January–February 2025); only their identity fields survive from historical |
| records. Filter with `WHERE subscribers IS NOT NULL` to keep subreddits that were |
| live at scrape time. |
| |
