#13> r/Technology leads all SubReddits, with an average of 2,027 Karma per Post Is this saying that all posts in r/technology get an average of 2027 karma?
My prior on that is extremely low, so my guess is that's like, of the posts that make front-page? Or of the top posts. What this really reflects, therefore, is something more like how up-votey people are.
Our data was largely from posts that were above 0 Karma which I think is reflected in the analysis that we did.

average is probably the wrong characterization of the distribution of karma per post.

#15> "Dogs" occurs more times in titles in r/aww than "cats" or "kittens" That can be a fact. > Despite their internet popularity cats are not submitted nearly as many times on this cuddly SubReddit. Or dogs are rare enough that they're worth naming, because cats are default. Seriously, run whatever calculations you want, but be careful about what conclusions you draw from the numbers.
Good point. We like to stir the pot a bit though.
So you're knowingly misrepresenting the data?

#17How much of "the Reddit" did you actually use to calculate these stats? Is this based off a one-time snapshot from the API (which limits to 1000 posts, per type of query) or is it a longitudinal crawl (and how data was produced in that sample)?
Re: Reddit Insight
#18So two big design issues, if you scroll down from the wheel of terms you go wobbly, clicking the down arrow below that last wheel, also wobbly. If you use on of the tabs to go to a graph you create a 'back loop' where the back button takes you to the start, then back again takes you back to the graph, then back to the start then back to the graph .... The data is interesting but I expect to see a bit of analysis in p…
We are aware of a lot of the issues on the home page and plan to completely redesign it soon. However which graph are you talking about? If it's the post tracking we will definitely look into it.
I had clicked on the rightmost tab (labeled Graphs) and shows the Subredit graph and then got stuck in the back page loop. Although I just did it again and it didn't get stuck in a loop so you may have fixed that one already.

One-time snap shot. Given longer time on this project we would love to do a larger analysis.

#20Site was borderline unusable with Chrome on android. Text was overlapping, animations to display new text were being triggered after I scrolled past them and in some cases the text just flew in one side and right off the other side of the screen before I even got a glimpse of it.
