On the other hand googling "soaring reddit", "gliders reddit" or "gliding reddit" shows r/Gliding top of the list.
I would wager upto 10% of all Google searches are [$query + reddit]
I tried searching for the programming language 'perl' expecting https://old.reddit.com/r/perl/ The results only showed 'LaTeX' and 'me_irl' (a meme subreddit). Good results for 'php', 'ruby', 'node', 'pascal', 'haskell'
Thanks @mtmail for your feedback, will take a look and figure out what heppened to perl. It might be because of our training data, as perl gets less popular, our training data might simply not having enough good data. : )
Is this based on some sort of public reddit dataset or do they scrape all of reddit? I just did some searches but couldn't find any proper / official reddit data dumps. Does something like that exist?
There are a couple different clients for it on GitHub
Funnily enough r/k8s was not on the list.
I searched for k8s and got: r/KSI, r/KIA, r/Jerma985, r/kfeets, r/Drumkits, r/KUWTK and r/motorsportstreams2. Funnily enough r/k8s was not on the list.
Unpopular (?) opinion: marketing is killing the internet for absolutely no value to users. At one point, we had communities of people, and discussions, and things were ok. Then came a mountain of commercial, automated, focused psyops against users: spaming, shilling, astoturfing, censoring, profiling, brigading, ab testing, engagement tracking, JS, ad auctions, eye tracking and on and on.

The site may crumble under its own weight in the coming years, but it won't be because it offers no discussion.

What you describe still exists, and with much more variety than what Old Reddit offered. All it takes is the time to seek out the right subreddits for your interests. Places like /r/askhistorians have no equivalent anywhere else on the internet. The site may crumble under its own weight in the coming years, but it won't be because it offers no discussion.
The challenge is, as soon as you start systematically introducing psyops into a quality discussion, every message becomes suspect and the quality retreats. What would happen if every thread on /r/askhistorians has someone popping in and saying "I see you're talking about the Battle of Gettysburg! Did you know there's an etsy shop you can buy official artifacts over [here]?" And more to the point, how will /r/historians defend against professionals steering discussions about, eg, slavery or the annexation of Tibet or the religious views of the Signers? I am worried.
