Most city subreddits are pretty lame, you guys are pretty cool though.

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thanks man, I needed that.

[–]igorr35Brookhaven 19 points20 points  (20 children)

Someone cross reference the amount of people per city sub-reddit divided by the populations of those cities, ordered by highest percentage.

GO!

nicely done

[–]pretentiousRatt 3 points4 points  (5 children)

If only I could give you more upvotes

[–]Psuffix 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Now you can give god!

[–]ChalesHStoneOakhurst[S] 5 points6 points  (3 children)

No proselytizing please

[–]Psuffix 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Err, I meant gold, haha!

[–]ChalesHStoneOakhurst[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

You edited your original post, now my joke doesn't make sense

[–]Psuffix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Changed it back. Only for an OC OP.

[–]igorr35Brookhaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent!!

[–]rooktakesqueenEast Atlanta Village 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Is this city population or metro area?

[–]tatumcEAV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

City population

[–]vervii 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You're telling me almost 5% of Seattle residents are on reddit? Not sure if I should move there immediately or avoid at all costs...

[–]Babblerabla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You deserve the upvotes that are being dumped on you.

[–]emarkd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting data but it doesn't really prove anything. You don't have to live within a city to subscribe to it's sub. I'm sure there are lots of people in each of those subs who don't technically live there. For instance, me. I live 30+ minutes otp but still enjoy keeping up with the Atlanta happenings so I can decide if something is worth driving into town for.

[–]hilarioushippo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well deserved upvote

[–]bro_b1_kenobiSan Francisco 2 points3 points  (2 children)

We'd be up there with NYC only have 32k and wayyy past LA with only 20k

[–]r_slashVirginia-Highland 0 points1 point  (1 child)

NYC is kind of subdivided, I think the main subreddit is smaller than it could be due to the likes of /r/brooklyn and /r/queens.

[–]w_a_wFairlie-Poplar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between the 2 subreddits that's only an additional 5k people. That might bump them up .01%

[–]eyecite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing when I saw that Seattle had a pretty large subreddit.

[–]lefthandpisces 9 points10 points  (0 children)

incredibly misleading map. just compare nyc and atlanta.

nyc has around 30k and atlanta has 10k, but the circle for nyc is way more than 3x the circle area of atlanta. I'm sure what this noob did was make the circle radius 3x longer which actually makes the circle area 9x larger.

anyone looking at this map will get a really distorted perception that atlanta lags in membership by a lot.

Edit: Houston has 9k and atlanta has 10k members. But Houston's circle looks like a fucking period. This map sucks.

[–]splogic 6 points7 points  (9 children)

I want to see a line graph with time and number of r/atlanta subscribers as the axes

[–]zen_monkeyMilton 7 points8 points  (6 children)

With shading! And bounded axis too for the max and min of values.

And a background image of the Atlanta logo. Because you care.

[–]Psuffix 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Ooooh... data porn.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somewhere, Liz Lemon is getting aroused

[–]vervii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make it 3D as well! It gives it pop!

[–]ArkadyfDecatur-ish 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Ask, and you shall receive.

We don't have a great datapoint, since the Reddit logs only go back one month, and no one is saving them. At least, we (mods) aren't. With that said, I have a month worth of data, and I know that we hit 5k around new year, and ~1k a year before that.

Will be interesting to look back at this graph in one more year and see how the predictions fared.

[–]zen_monkeyMilton 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Awesome. That's the rich level of information I need as an investment banker. I'd like to underwrite your IPO.

[–]ArkadyfDecatur-ish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at the red graph and buy, buy, buy!

[–]7obyScheiße Gebieter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked at it and we only get the last month and it doesn't include unsubscriptions so it wouldn't make sense. Sorry.

[–]figfigworkworkBerkeley Park 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And my axe!

[–]w_a_wFairlie-Poplar 14 points15 points  (5 children)

With the exception of Atlanta, the rest of the southeast is a redditless barren wasteland.

[–]cbrakhage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the southeast's time is attributed to church, coke, and chicken.

[–]drzaeus 0 points1 point  (2 children)

That, and our numbers are inflated by all the OTP riff-raff like myself hanging around in here, right?

[–]w_a_wFairlie-Poplar 0 points1 point  (1 child)

That OTP chip on your shoulder is rather unsightly.

[–]drzaeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moving up here changes a person.

[–]qtipvesto✂---Clip here to save--- 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Also pictured, the areas with the most furry porn consumption.

[–]VelvetroseRoswell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WOOHOO for us!

[–]zachatreeGrant Park 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Suck it north east!

[–]TrueGrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like that they did the circles with radius proportional to subscribers instead of area...

Compare Atlanta to Denver in number and size, and you'll see what I mean.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a pretty solid subreddit, but I can imagine how we could have more people/information, etc. I think that all of reddit could use a regional subreddit awareness day.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel bad for being subbed to it sometimes since I don't live anywhere near ATL.

[–]amishius 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I wonder if there's some tiny ass town with a subreddit with more than one member. I lived in Providence, RI for three years and there's an /r/providence but that's 1100 or so folks and PVD is 100k or so, so not what I'm thinking of. I'm thinking like town of 500 with subreddit.

[–]7obyScheiße Gebieter 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Make a list of towns under 500 and then search for subreddit a with those names

[–]amishius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meh, I stopped caring several hours ago.

[–]berlinbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or only cities worth living in the US.

Cough, cough. Just saying.
