There are 1,820 Subreddits gone dark and counting, as of this post. Thought others might get a kick out of this; it’s kinda wild watching them go one by one. Really interested to see what this looks like tomorrow.
Here’s the website if you want to see the updates live without the twitch stream: https://reddark.untone.uk
Thanks! That chat stream hurt my eyes. Just hit 2500.
About 15 minutes to go for the ‘Official’ start and it’s already over 2100.
Yowsers Redddit, you dun goofed!
Those subs are going down faster than spez’s credibility
This is great, thank you for the info and evening entertainment.
2102/6001 so far.
RIP /r/IllegallySmolCats.
We really need an instance that only has communities made from the cat subs
Does anybody know what is Reddit’s userbase size? It’s difficult to put some of the numbers in https://reddark.untone.uk/ in perspective. Using percentages on the Combined User Count would be more descriptive, for instance.
it’s a bad judge IMO since people are subbed to multiple places and can be counted multiple times
reddit has something like over 2 million subreddits, but usually claims around 120,000 active subreddits.
As sad as it is to admit, 6000 subreddits is a drop in the fucking bucket.
There’s some pretty big subreddits going down though, /r/tifu just went private and it has 10mil+ subs.
There’s no way there are 120,000 active subreddits, unless ‘active’ means a least one post per month. The same 200 subreddits rotate in r/popular and r/all.
My local city subreddit is always pretty active, but it hardly has any users. I think there’s lots of small, niche subs that have a decent level of activity. Just because they don’t have enough users to ever hit the frontpage is kind of immaterial to that.
It’s going so fast I can’t keep up. You hate to see it.
