Investigator Use
Reddit Metis (redditmetis.com) is a Reddit account analysis tool that provides detailed statistics, posting history, active communities, comment sentiment, and behavioral analytics for any public Reddit account. It aggregates a user's public post and comment history into a comprehensive profile.
For OSINT investigators, Reddit Metis transforms a raw Reddit account history into structured intelligence. The aggregated view of a user's post and comment history across all subreddits reveals the communities they are active in, the topics they discuss, their communication style, and behavioral patterns that may be relevant to an investigation.
Community membership analysis shows which subreddits a user is active in — revealing interests, affiliations, professional areas, and social communities. A user active in specific extremist, criminal, or specialized communities is identified by their community participation patterns even before reading specific content.
Posting time analysis reveals the typical active hours of an account — information that can help establish the time zone or work schedule of an otherwise anonymous subject. Accounts that consistently post during business hours in a specific time zone likely operate from that time zone.
Karma and account age statistics help investigators assess the authenticity and investment level of an account — old, high-karma accounts represent established identities that have built reputation over time, while new, low-karma accounts may be recently created for specific purposes.
Language analysis of post and comment content can reveal writing patterns, vocabulary choices, and communication characteristics useful for comparing with writing from other platforms or documents where authorship is relevant.
Cross-subreddit activity mapping identifies when the same user discusses different topics in different communities — potentially revealing connections between apparently separate interest areas or activities.
Reddit accounts are public and require no authentication to analyze through Reddit Metis. For deleted content, use Pushshift archives while available.
Document analyzed usernames, the full community activity profile, and query timestamps.
