This was actually a lot of fun to pull together. If people generally like it, I'd like to do more of these.

Thanks! I’m a math teacher and would love to use some related data in my classes. I actually had to take a break from teaching calculus last week to explain what was going on. Is there any chance you can put together some charts/tables that show rates? I’d love something like the rate at which people were connecting/disconnecting from Reddit or comments per second in /r/wallstreetbets last Wednesday/Thursday.

Please do more of these (my math teacher would be amazed that I'm asking for *more* graphs)! Ideally both for current events, as well as just subs that have had unusually high growth rates or something like that.

Yes please! It's crazy seeing the surge in new Reddit users also drive a spike in new subreddit subscribers. Here's what we saw in r/science: https://i.imgur.com/J08jFRH.png[1][2]

Fascinating, especially how a certain somebody managed to cause issues with too many awards. Would love to see more of this type of content.

I'm a data analyst and basically do this for a living. Please do more! Put the data through Tableau or similar and jazz up the visualizations a bit though

Even better if you're willing to do a data dump. There are subreddits for datasets and graphing (e.g. /r/datasets and /r/dataisbeautiful )

Was really interesting to go through, and I think it would be even if stats weren't amplified by wallstreetbets craziness. I just really enjoy seeing large amounts of data like this presented simply and with explanations that link it all together. I'm bet there's plenty of different ways to look at and compare the data Reddits got to make many posts like this.

Hey, from the /r/worldnews team here, would it be possible to do a non public after action report on events like terrorist attacks and other mass info events?

Can you guys help the mods of wallstreetbets by letting the current kids actually own the sub. The prior mods were outed for trying to monetize the sub along with other illegal things and only comeback when things like this happen. They've asked the admins for help multiple times to no avail. And it would be a shame of the largest traffic generator to your site was banned for breaking reddits rules due to bad mods ruining the platform.

"This looks like a bunch of new users trying to engage in the community versus a new and awful surplus of “bots.”"
I have to strongly disagree.
No way this is true. It has to be 50% bots min. They are all spamming the same garbage, and the accounts look to be either new or purchased reddit accounts with no comment history in months suddenly logging in to comment 50x per day to shill tickers. There is an element at play here. Everyone knows GME is done. I refuse to believe that there are still people out there actively buying it and thinking the squeeze isn't over.
There is an element at play here. Someone is up to something with these phony accounts. I've already seen and reported a comment where someone was talking about storming wall street in the same fashion as the capitol raid to shed blood. IMO this is Russia or another hostile nation state at work stirring the pot. Get people to buy at the end of the squeeze knowing damn well they'll lose money, and then rile them up and start a protest / movement against Wall Street. They are spreading baseless almost Qanon level theories about how wall street is screwing them over, and they need to keep holding the stock.
This needs to be looked into.

The bit about SLV is fascinating - news networks have been tooting that WSB moved on, but the data simply does not support.
