Reddit datasets by country
Country-related communities, with separate post and comment records. These labels describe the community’s subject or locality, not its members’ nationality or national public opinion.
All records remain research candidates. Reply pairs preserve observed links but may omit earlier conversation. No Reddit replies were promoted to factual gold answers or training-approved targets.
Coverage
All files for January 2014, July 2016, January 2018 from global post archive; complete available country-specific files listed here. This is a bounded historical collection, not continuous or current coverage.
Earliest and latest dates below are endpoints across discontinuous source collections, not a claim of complete intervening coverage.

Other datasets inspected
| Dataset | Status | Finding |
|---|---|---|
| arctic_shift_api | access failed | Documented post-search endpoint returned HTTP 403 on 2026-09-23; no access bypass attempted. |
| arctic_shift_bulk | catalogued not downloaded | Whole archive is multi-terabyte; bounded publisher snapshots were selected instead. |
| ruanchaves/reddit_china | excluded from country attribution | Inspected viewer contains China mentions in worldnews, stocks, ukraine and other communities; title is not a China-community or Chinese-resident label. |
| DataDump1/india_reddit | gated not acquired | Hugging Face metadata reports manual access gate. |
| DataDump1/IndiaSpeaks_reddit | gated not acquired | Hugging Face metadata reports manual access gate. |
| DataDump1/China_reddit | gated not acquired | Hugging Face metadata reports manual access gate. |
| DataDump1/unitedkingdom_reddit | gated not acquired | Hugging Face metadata reports manual access gate. |
| GeRedE | catalogued academic access | Publisher describes about 380,000 submissions and 6.8 million comments, 2010–2018; indexed corpus is available to registered academic users. Code and annotation resources are distinct from a freely downloadable complete corpus. |
| RexTRO111/Portuguese-Subreddits | excluded not a text corpus | Repository inspection found a 41-byte subreddit-name text file, not an extensive Reddit corpus. |
| nothingiisreal/entirety_of_reddit | excluded link only repository | Repository contains README and attributes only; its card links a large external torrent, no hosted text dataset. |
| HuggingFaceGECLM/REDDIT_threaded | not selected general interest | Inspected splits are topic communities such as AskHistorians and DIY; no defensible national-author assignment. |
Quality and use
- Country labels describe communities, not author nationality or representative national opinion.
- Dates span discontinuous collections and must not be read as continuous coverage.
- Full original thread context is often missing; reply pairs are review material only.
- Pattern redaction is not comprehensive anonymization; original IDs remain for provenance.
- Current deletion status, consent and training/redistribution rights are unverified.
- All records remain quarantine. Merge thread, crosspost and duplicate components before any future split.
Publisher labels and repository licenses do not by themselves establish rights in user-authored content. Reddit’s API terms and the researcher program are recorded in the source registry. Source text is omitted from this public view.
