How to use the dataset
One of the most popular subreddits on Reddit is AskReddit β a platform for users to post questions and share knowledge with other Redditors. As active askers, commenters, and posters, itβs essential to gain insight into how people engage in the subreddit.
Using this dataset you can begin your exploration by examining distributions related to post scores (score), number of comments on posts (comms_num), time elapsed between when posts are made and when they receive replies( created vs timestamp). Additionally there may be interesting correlations between features such as post title length(title) & average words per comment(body). The ultimate goal is uncovering key trends in user behavior & identifying features which help predict outcomes so that insight into various engagements can be better accessed.
Utilizing this dataset could potentially provide valuable understanding on how popular & active topics are being discussed on AskReddit whether it's something political or scientific - resulting in an improved UX for both moderators & users alike! Happy Exploring!
Research Ideas
- Examining the influence of post titles on user engagement, such as looking at the correlation between more descriptive title lengths and higher scores or comment counts
- Utilizing natural language processing techniques to analyze the body of posts in order to gain more insight into user attitudes and opinions
- Studying post timing effects by tracking changes in user engagement over time for various subject topics as well as understanding when it may be best to create a post for maximum exposure
