Description
We gathered all posts, comments and metadata created during 2017 from the four mental health related Reddit communities with the largest number of publications, namely Depression, SuicideWatch, Anxiety e Bipolar. Unprocessed data is publicly available at http://files.pushshift.io/reddit. After extracting the zipped file, there will be three files for each subreddit <subreddit>:
- <subreddit>_post2data.pkl: a python pickle file containing a dict indexed by post id, where the value corresponds to the data associated with the post (comments excluded)
- <subreddit>_post2comments.pkl: a python pickle file containing a dict indexed by post id, where the value corresponds to the list of comments present in the thread associated with the post
- <subreddit>_comment2data.pkl: a python pickle file containing a dict indexed by comment id, where the value corresponds to the data associated with the comment
