662/5279 = 0.12540253836

looks too tiny tbh.

The subreddits didn't organize around a single point in time across all timezones. It's generally the 12th and 13th, but it's not yet the 12th everywhere. Give it a couple of hours. In the last 8 minutes alone 14 new subs went private.

Why didn’t they? UTC all the things.

As of now, six of the top ten subreddits have disabled posting. That doesn't seem tiny to me

2 subreddits with more than 20 million subscribers, 1 subreddit with more than 10 million, 23 with more than 1 million subscribers, 18 with more than 500K, 32 with more than 250K... seems like it's beginning to add up to me and it's only 7:40 CEST.

I'm shutting down roughly 50 just before midnight CEST and I expect things to accelerate with the date change at GMT.

It was 662 for me too when I opened the site, i've been scrolling a bit trough the site and it is 668 already, and the site showed notifications for those extra reddits. They seem to be closing fast.

12.5%? That's roughly 1 in 8 subreddits

Can someone clarify how they decided to feature these 5279 subreddits? Are these the subreddits whose mods decided to participate? Or are these the largest subreddits? Or is there some other factor?

Is it? It's not about the size (lookup how many subs are in total). It's about sending a message

There's more than 5000 subs. There are millions of them. These are big subs

That's 12% - nothing to laugh at

Lets see how the strong Reddit's network effect is when tested.
