Network Analysis of the Egyptian Reddit Community

Samy Shaawat, Adham Hammad, Karim Farhat, Mina Thabet, Walid Gomaa

Abstract

This paper presents a network analysis of the Reddit community focused on Egypt. We collected and constructed a comprehensive dataset consisting of 23,185 users and 105 Egyptian subreddits. Through network analysis criteria such as degree analysis, degree distribution analysis, and clustering coefficient analysis, we explored the structural properties, connectivity patterns, and local clustering within the Egyptian Reddit network. The findings provide insights into the community dynamics, influential users, and information flow within the network. Our study contributes to a better understanding of online communities in the context of Egypt and sheds light on the relationships and interactions within the Egyptian Reddit community. By leveraging network analysis techniques, we uncover the importance of individual nodes, the distribution of node degrees, and the formation of tightly knit groups. This study contributes significantly to the understanding of online communities specific to Egypt, shedding light on relationships and interactions within the Egyptian Reddit community.
