Reddit Hyperlink Network (Body)
A Reddit dataset of 35,776 subreddits and 286,561 directed hyperlinks (265,491 positive sentiment, 21,070 negative sentiment) from post hyperlinks embedded in post bodies, collected by Kumar et al. via Reddit API, January 2014 to April 2017, distributed by SNAP. Each record contains directed edges from source to target subreddit with binary sentiment label (+1/-1) and 86-dimension text property vector; post ID and timestamp per edge. captures cross-community interaction and conflict on Reddit with sentiment polarity per hyperlink, enabling study of how communities reference each other positively vs. antagonistically over time. Suitable for community conflict detection, cross-community interaction modeling, signed network analysis, temporal network analysis, and online community dynamics research.
