We chose to work with a dataset containing data from Reddit, a social media platform that allows users to post and comment on content. The different communities that exist on Reddit are organized into groups called subreddits. A subreddit is formed around a specific subject, which can be general (such as science or movies) or veryspecific (such as bonsai trees or helping to identify typefaces).

The dataset we selected contains almost 5 years of data from Reddit, specifically, it contains data from Reddit posts which link to other subr eddits, including the source and target subreddits, the post’s timestamp, sentiment score and many other characteristics of the post. This subreddit-to-subreddit hyperlink network allows us to explore how different subreddits are connected, as well as the different characteristics of each subreddit.
