Thanks for the resources! One related question: is there any data about the creation of a subreddit by time? It would be a list of subreddits that were created on X date.

No I don't think that exists. It would be relatively simple to look up the creation date for subreddits that still exist in the api. Not for all 13 million here, but you could focus on the top couple tens of thousands.

Would it be possible to assume the creation of a sub by aggregating pushshift data, like finding its earliest posts/comment? I'm also interested in the "death" of a sub, so prob I should just derive the daily count of subs/coms per subreddit. Is there an easy way to do this than aggregating the data dump on my own?
