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.

I was looking for something like this, thanks for sharing!

So one thing I've noticed is that /r/videos is still labelled as "public" - I wonder if there's a way to show subreddits that have restricted new posts as well? (Maybe I'm missing the point here)

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.

So after June 30th we will not have an idea about the state of things anymore... :P

Is there a way to see what subs re dark out of the actual total? This looks like it is what % are dark compared to what % are restricted?

In other words I confused what the n is on all of these

Choose 'percent' on the third card on the left.

I'm really confused by the chart on the site https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/ I understand the dip annotated with the red arrow, but I do not understand the rebound annotated with the green arrow... With that many sites down, it should not be possible to rebound to normal levels...

I could actually see engagement staying relatively the same since most people are probably popping Reddit open for a few minutes, maybe engaging, then moving on.

What I do find odd is how consistent Posts per minute are over time. But it doesn't dip or rise with comments. So now I'm wondering how automated a lot of posting is.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Bots, all the bot posts. If you even check "All" for a bit even on Lemmy you will see the bots are moving here as well.

Check for r/argentina, could not find it but it will be dark temporarily, maybe it's because of that. Great site!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I wish someone or a dev could make this list in these website and propose lemmy/kbin equivalents for us the redditors to join instead. On the other hands mods of those subreddits if they want they can make a community over these platforms.

The notifications contain the wrong amount of members for the subreddit, they all say 5k and below ^^ Not that it really matters, just FYI

This is amazing

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

This is great. Some big ones are already dark.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Enjoyed watching the stream on twitch, was expecting more of a tsunami of subs going private quicker.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I was thinking it would happen at midnight (some local time) but the trickle of subs has been pretty neat actually.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

This is great to see. Thanks for sharing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Neat thanks for sharing! I've been looking for something like that!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It appears that r/videos is public again and someone has posted 6h ago. Anyone know what is going on?
