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.

    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.
