reddit-subreddits

One row per subreddit, derived from the January 2025 subreddit metadata files in Binxk/pushshift-reddit.

Contents

source_type	subreddits
public	2,776,279
restricted	1,923,526
private	182,045
other	100

Total: 4,881,950 subreddits.

Null-metadata rows: about 1.5 million public rows have null subscribers, over18, quarantine, and lang together. These are subreddits that existed at some point but were banned, deleted, or unfetchable when the metadata was scraped (January–February 2025); only their identity fields survive from historical records. Filter with WHERE subscribers IS NOT NULL to keep subreddits that were live at scrape time.
