This is awesome! My input had exactly the results I expected. Thanks for creating this tool, bookmarking!
skilled on HNThis is a really useful tool. It works so smoothly on my mobile.
bibyte on HNHappy to hear :)!
anvaka on HNUseful little tool! Reddit humor subs are so damn specific, it can be hard to find them all.
cannedslime on HNThis is great, and works flawlessly!

Interesting graph visualization
From 2 comments
This is seriously amazing man! Interesting to see how different subject-areas network themselves differently. For example, comparing "r/permaculture" to "r/linux". Also, looking…
patcon on HNInteresting finds: * /r/askscience is nested at the center of defaults (I think a lot of older, famous subs will end up highly connected) * /r/relationship_advice is kind of a…

Objections
Biased toward large subreddits, hard to find small related ones
From 2 comments
It's a cool tool, but it seems very biased towards bigger subs. If you let it loose on a small sub it will emphasize that big, kinda-but-not-really related subs over…
Smithalicious on HNIt's a shame since this tool would be particularly useful for recommending small subs. I don't need it to tell me about big subs, since I already know them.

Hot sidebar fails to load in Firefox private browsing

This is a great idea for a project, the 'users who also posted' metric seems to have worked really well. The site seems to fail to load the 'hot' items for the subreddits when I…

Tabular view with subscriber counts
From 1 comment
Good tool if possible add option to view result data in tabular format with no of subscribers. As this way its difficult to use.

Preserve navigation history
From 2 comments
That's a cool tool. And useful extension would be if it preserves the location history if you navigate topics, so that you can go back.
nairboon on HNGood call. I was worried that I'd "spam" the browser history and people who are coming from reddit or HN would never go back to where they came from :)

How the data was collected and computed
From 2 comments
You indicated that you used the Pushshift.io datasets, but how did you compute Jaccard Similarity on a dataset of 38M?
minimaxir on HNI didn't use pushshift, sorry. The data was collected from bigquery, stored locally into CSV files, and then I just wrote a node.js script to compute similarities.

Yasiv
From 2 comments
Is this built on top of your work on yasiv before?
diziet on HNIt would be fair to say so. The core layout is the same with a bit more polished overlap removal and animation.
