The reddit blackout is even more effectivte than expected! 5177/8829 (~60%) of subreddits are still dark [1] and the posts per minute are down to 1000 from 1400 [2].

This is huge. Subreddits were supposed to be back up yesterday. I personally missed Reddit the first day but now I am super comfortable here.

Glad to have found a new place to hang out!

Edit: Reddit has 100k subs, 60% out of those who officially signed up

    The -30% value is taken from the peak value, but doesn’t look at the total amount posted per day.

    So I took the data from the blackout.photon-reddit site source.

    It seems that it makes a Reddit Api call every Minute searching the newest Post and Comment and calculates both per Minute rates.

    I wanted to see the effect the Blackout had over the day, so I summed the data and plotted it: Seems like between 11th and 12th June the comments/day diminished by -19.2%. The posts/day saw a decline of -8.9%

    The sub with the most Activity was probably Askreddit
