Hopefully I'm posting this in the right place, but I see Reddit developments as Tech news right now.

Wanted to share a website that is tracking Subreddits that have/will be going dark. It even has a sound notification for when they change their status.

So they use reddit APIs to check the status? They must be very rich

According to their GitHub page (their code is all open source), they pull the data from the r/modcoord sub.

I guess they use /r/modcoord to find out which subreddits to check. And then use the API or something else to check if the subreddits are private.
