Sampling and methodology

Collected records: 1,685

Represented range: 2023-11-03 → 2026-08-08

The corpus combines a broad newest-post listing with bounded top/year and top/all listings. The interface infers the recent boundary from the newest 1,000 records because original retrieval provenance was not stored.

Older records are analyzed as a ranked historical canon. They can show what was prominent and repeatedly surfaced within ranked retrieval; they cannot estimate total monthly activity, publishing habits, or whole-conversation prevalence.

Recent contender ranking compares posts within age bands using score and reply-count percentiles. Platform attention is not evidence quality, accuracy, representativeness, or future performance.
