I started this project with the intent of finding a way to discover new subs that might interest me.

I wrote some code to process 3 years worth of posts/comments for each sub and to analyse occurrences of where a user mentions another sub in it.

Each relationship was then weighted so that subs mentioned many times in one sub rank higher than subs mentioned many times in many subs.

I imported the data into an iOS app and displayed it as an interactive force directed graph. The result is very cool, and I was surprised of the quality of the data. However there are some subs which relationship data could not be ascertained. E.g subs where no one has mention another! I will be working on improving the data in future releases, potentially involving some linguistic profiling to fill in some gaps.

Enjoy! feel free to let me know if you have any feedback!
