RedditMods is a dataset that anonymously lists moderators of 25’834 largest and most popular communities on Reddit. The dataset is ideal for studying Reddit as a bipartite graph, where a moderator-node and a community-node are connected if one the associated user moderates this subreddit. Clustering can then be performed to identify groups of subreddits with a particular leaning, or to recommend similar communities.
The data was publicly available and collected on 06 Feb 2024. All usernames were anonymised by hashing with SHA256, so that they cannot be linked to the moderators’ Reddit accounts.
Visualisations using this data have garnered interest. Other examples: 1, 2.
