Normalize keyword representation about programming-language-subreddits-and-their-choice-of-words HOT 3 CLOSED

since not all communities are equal in size on reddit

Ah, looking at the graphs, I now remember, the word counts are already normalized by the total number of comments per subreddit (see x-axis label on the graphs).

If this would not be the case, the large subreddits would totally dominate the graphs, which they don't. In the "hadware" graph, for example, quite small subreddits are in the lead. ✔️

Hi, and thanks for the idea. 🙂

However, this was a one-off project I did around 7 years ago and did not really touch since then. So my motivation to update it is not very high. 😉

But in case I (or somebody else) would like to re-do such an evaluation in the future, it would make sense to consider your suggestion. 👍

Thanks for the insight :) Marking the issue as resolved!
