Research · community signals

What the community is actually asking about. Updated monthly.

Tracked systematically from r/ADHD, r/adhdwomen, and related communities — not cherry-picked. High-signal topics get prioritised for article updates.

How this works

mine.py is a Python scraper that runs monthly against r/ADHD, r/adhdwomen, and related subreddits. It scans posts for topic-specific keywords, scores them by upvotes and comment count, and writes signal entries to the database.

Signal scores are weighted: recency matters, and comments count more than upvotes — discussion signals deeper resonance than passive agreement.

What this means for content

Topics with high signal scores get prioritised for article updates and new content. If perimenopause is trending in r/adhdwomen, the existing article gets refreshed — or a new angle gets covered.

Every knowledge article on this site shows a community signal badge and links back to the sources that informed it. The content responds to what people are actually asking, not what a content calendar says.
