Older ranked records represented before 2026-05-14. Useful for prominence and memory—not total activity.

Recent candidate pool1,000

Newest records from 2026-05-14 to 2026-08-08. The boundary is inferred because original retrieval provenance was not stored.

Core views require at least 1,500 total records and 500 canon records; this corpus has 1,869 and 869. Topic comparison is withheld because this corpus has not been topic-enriched.

Sampling and methodology

Collected records: 1,869

Represented range: 2013-11-18 → 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.
