I tried searching for the programming language 'perl' expecting https://old.reddit.com/r/perl/

The results only showed 'LaTeX' and 'me_irl' (a meme subreddit).

Good results for 'php', 'ruby', 'node', 'pascal', 'haskell'

I searched for k8s and got: r/KSI, r/KIA, r/Jerma985, r/kfeets, r/Drumkits, r/KUWTK and r/motorsportstreams2.

Funnily enough r/k8s was not on the list.

Wait, does https://old.reddit.com/subreddits/search not work? I mean, sure, it gives you a ton of random crap along with meaningful results, but in my experience it casts a wide enough net to have whatever you are looking for covered in the results.

I think a better use is the Map of Reddit (https://anvaka.github.io/map-of-reddit/) which shows links between reddit communities. Start from one you know you are interested in and bounce around exploring the nearby community, or zoom out and see the large community blocks.

Is this based on some sort of public reddit dataset or do they scrape all of reddit? I just did some searches but couldn't find any proper / official reddit data dumps. Does something like that exist?

Searching for 'soaring' or 'gliders' or even 'gliding' does not show up the biggest subreddit about this topic, which is r/Gliding - as far as I know pretty SFW. But it shows unrelated and even smaller subs such as r/tailwind.

Maybe something worth looking into as may affect other topics. (:

This is an outrage

Honestly, "site:reddit.com subject" on Google works a lot better than this search engine.

Not really relevant results.

It would be nice if you could track what people search for and end up clicking on and use that to train your data. That said, makes it easier/possible to game the results.

I searched for notjustbikes and I don't get r/notjustbikes which is a SFW subreddit.

Enter your elevator pitch and find relevant popular subreddits (Safe For Work only).

please add a "submit" button. I ended up pressing the chat button instead because I didn't find any other button to press after entering my search term

Unpopular (?) opinion: marketing is killing the internet for absolutely no value to users.

At one point, we had communities of people, and discussions, and things were ok. Then came a mountain of commercial, automated, focused psyops against users: spaming, shilling, astoturfing, censoring, profiling, brigading, ab testing, engagement tracking, JS, ad auctions, eye tracking and on and on.

Reddit used to be a community and now it's dead site walking.
