+# reddit-communities2
+
+Some years ago I made [reddit-communities](https://github.com/benediktkr/reddit-communities) that looked at how subreddits were connected through the links on their sidebars.
+
+Now I want to see how subreddits are connected based on where their users are active. That will be a lot more data, and this time I'll make a nicer presentatino. The data from the former project still exists, and could be presented in the same format. I hear theres nice JS plugins you can just plug the data into.
+
+DISCLAIMER: This is purely a weekend/evening hack project.
+
+## Current status
+
+Looking at the crazy side of reddit:
+
+```python
+$ pipenv run python run.py --seed-subreddit the_donald
+Checking where users from /r/the_donald also post...
+[('The_Donald', 1734),
+ ('worldpolitics', 51),
+ ('Conservative', 35),
+ ('Kanye', 23),
+ ('PublicFreakout', 21),
+ ('politics', 20),
+ ('Full_news', 17),
+ ('AskReddit', 13),
+ ('hiphopheads', 12),
+ ('funny', 12)]
+ ```
+
