Some pretty poor categorization of some subreddits in there. gamesofthrones, mylittlepony, thewalkingdead, and BigBrother are in sports (asoiaf is in entertainment). sysadmin and techsupport are in hobbies/occupations while buildapc is in tech section. tumblrinaction, kotakuinaction, and blackpeopletwitter are in entertainment. DebateReligion is in news/politics, not discussion (with other debate subreddits) or lifestyle (with other religion subreddits).

The hierarchy is on GitHub: https://github.com/MetASnoo/Subreddit-Directory-Skeleton/blo...

But it's not in a structured format and tough to verify. There's no methodology for the current organization, and it doesn't look like it matches the actual graph.

The base classification structure was borrowed from r/listofsubreddits sub directory: https://www.reddit.com/r/ListOfSubreddits/wiki/listofsubredd.... However it was modified a bit in order to even out the clusters, size wise. Keeping it unchanged would make more than half of the subs entertainment. That being said, some hiccups were made during the formatting, and the purpose of the repo is to fix/enhance any mistakes people spot.

It would be interesting to see them classified by subreddits where the a significant amount of comments are driven from live events (thinking of the big sporting subreddits and some of the e-sport/gaming ones) vs subreddits that are almost completely based off non-live events (i.e. AskReddit, Sex).
