Also a good opportunity to back it up everyone with just not visiting their site. I've added 127.0.0.1 reddit.com old.reddit.com www.reddit.com mod.reddit.com i.reddit.com to my hosts file so I don't accidentally follow a link to Reddit (I think they have a lot more subdomains, so the hosts file based approach isn't perfect, but hopefully good enough for a quick solution).

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.

R/SquaredCircle just went dark. They weren't even on the list as far as I saw.

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.

I'm guessing (hoping) the difference at peak will be larger. All we can do now is wait and see, unfortunately.
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.

Time to sit back, relax, and watch ~~the world~~ Reddit burn 😎 🍿
I was looking for something like this, thanks for sharing!
This is great. Some big ones are already dark.
The notifications contain the wrong amount of members for the subreddit, they all say 5k and below ^^ Not that it really matters, just FYI

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)
Check for r/argentina, could not find it but it will be dark temporarily, maybe it's because of that. Great site!
I'm really confused by the chart on the site https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/ I understand the dip annotated with the red arrow, but I do not understand the rebound annotated with the green arrow... With that many sites down, it should not be possible to rebound to normal levels...
If you go to the site and view by new it's just page after page of /r/askreddit. Tons of people posting to it with nowhere else to post. So that would explain some of the rebound but the graph is still odd that it rebounded to exactly where it should be if there was no blackout.

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.

Neat thanks for sharing! I've been looking for something like that!
It appears that r/videos is public again and someone has posted 6h ago. Anyone know what is going on?
Was gonna share this here myself and then realized I still don't now how to search Lemmy on either client I use. 🤦🏾♂️
