This repository contains code used in an analysis of ecological relationships among subreddits published as:

This repository only contains code. The data is available in the Harvard Dataverse, but is temporarly inaccessible due to an error with the platform. Contact Nathan TeBlunthuis if you need help accessing the Dataverse.
The top-level files run the analyses reported in the paper, but depend
on several submodules. The entire project has been automated using
GNU make. It has been designed to run on the Hyak supercomputer at
the University of Washington. Reach out to Nathan TeBlunthuis
(nathante@umich.edu; @groceryheist on github) if you wish to attempt
to reproduce this analysis.
The cdsc_reddit submodule contains a pipeline for building datasets
from the Pushshift reddit corpus as well as measures of density,
similarity, and clustering. This pipeline has been used in several
projects, but the included version is a snapshot for reproducing this
analysis.
The overleaf submodule builds the manuscript using knitr.
The pyRembr and RemembR submodules contains utilities for saving
data that can be moved to overleaf.
