Xanat, in case it is of interest, Google has also regularly loaded the Reddit dataset into BigQuery (you get some amount of free quota per month to use the BQ service): https://www.reddit.com/r/bigquery/comments/5z957b/more_than_3_billion_reddit... They've done some neat example analyses with it: https://medium.com/@hoffa/reddit-favorite-sources-the-most-linked-sites-expa... https://medium.com/@hoffa/which-subreddits-have-the-most-energy-how-upvotes-... https://medium.freecodecamp.com/reddit-uptime-2008-2016-bigquery-b3d7b11046e... https://medium.com/google-cloud/reddit-s-presidential-race-candidate-mention... https://medium.com/google-cloud/a-short-story-of-the-comments-on-reddit-from... Also, a more complex example combining it with TensorFlow, Cloud Dataflow and my GDELT data: https://cloud.google.com/blog/big-data/2018/03/predicting-community-engageme... https://cloud.google.com/blog/big-data/2018/03/predicting-community-engageme... https://cloud.google.com/blog/big-data/2018/03/predicting-community-engageme... Even if you don't use BigQuery at your institution, some of the examples above might give you ideas on some of the at-scale analyses that can be done and combining it with TF, etc. K On Tue, May 15, 2018 at 7:59 AM, Deen Freelon <dfreelon@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi Xanat,
You're in luck--all Reddit posts and comments from the beginning are available to download here: http://files.pushshift.io/reddit/ . However, they're in JSON format so you'll need to learn how to parse that before you can access them. Best, /DEEN

Hello members! In our department, we are planning a study about the expression of phobias in social networks. I would like to know any software recommendations to download: a) Reddit posts and b) Information about Reddit users. If anyone has literature related to Reddit and psychology, we would be grateful too. Regards, Xanat V. Meza
