small-subreddit-finder

A node script to find short named subreddits that aren't used.

This project uses Yarn as a package manager

Quickstart

1. Clone the repo
2. Navigate to this directory in a termal
3. Run yarn to install dependencies
4. Run yarn main to find an unused subreddit

Different ways to run the program

• yarn main [find-count] [seed] - find the first find-count unused subreddits
• yarn find-first [seed] - find the first unused subreddit
• yarn nonstop [seed] - continually find unused subreddits

If not provided, find-count will default to 1, and seed will default to aaa.

Notes

This ssed parameter is helpful because there are currently false positives for subreddits that have been banned. For example, aa1 comes up as an usused subreddit, but it is just banned.
