Site to track Subreddit's as they go dark
(reddark.untone.uk)
So they use reddit APIs to check the status? They must be very rich
According to their GitHub page (their code is all open source), they pull the data from the r/modcoord sub.

So after June 30th we will not have an idea about the state of things anymore... :P
R/SquaredCircle just went dark. They weren't even on the list as far as I saw.

Time to sit back, relax, and watch ~~the world~~ Reddit burn 😎 🍿
I was looking for something like this, thanks for sharing!
This is awesome. We all need to stick together on this one
Is there a way to see what subs re dark out of the actual total? This looks like it is what % are dark compared to what % are restricted?
In other words I confused what the n is on all of these

Choose 'percent' on the third card on the left.

Check for r/argentina, could not find it but it will be dark temporarily, maybe it's because of that. Great site!

Damn. That is only a tiny little dip in the post/comment rate so far relative to the historical cycle. What, maybe 5%, assuming the vertical axis crosses at zero? Not terribly encouraging....
Yeah, I was negatively surprised as well. Almost 60% of all big SFW subreddits closed, and still only a small percentage less posts and comments.
Reddit may also be astroturfing their own site to make it look like there's not much effect of the blackout.

The large subs and front page just consist of bots reposting the same old content. The bots are easy to tell apart from real people just by eye, so I'm sure that reddit either has no problem with that or that they made these bots themselves to hide the fact that actual users are becoming less and less.

This is great. Some big ones are already dark.
I’m watching the lights go out in real time here with this site, it’s really cool to see!
The notifications contain the wrong amount of members for the subreddit, they all say 5k and below ^^ Not that it really matters, just FYI

This is amazing
So one thing I've noticed is that /r/videos is still labelled as "public" - I wonder if there's a way to show subreddits that have restricted new posts as well? (Maybe I'm missing the point here)
Neat thanks for sharing! I've been looking for something like that!
My Reddit frontpage only contains a few minor subs still which are probably without an active moderator and some „going dark“ announcements. Very noticeable.
I just had a quick look on the front page on mobile browser, not logged in, and the top 2nd, 3rd, and 4th 'hot' posts are about the blackout, and the 'top' post is a thank you from the Apollo app creator.
(This is my first attempt at uploading a pic on here so 🤞)
