Show HN: Subreddit Finder – find subreddits based on a topic

Re:Show HN: Subreddit Finder – find subreddits based on a topic by mtmail on Friday August 26, 2022 @07:44PM (#32614062)

I tried searching for the programming language 'perl' expecting https://old.reddit.com/r/perl/

The results only showed 'LaTeX' and 'me_irl' (a meme subreddit).

Good results for 'php', 'ruby', 'node', 'pascal', 'haskell'

When looking for 'clojure' none of the results are even related to programming

Thanks @mtmail for your feedback, will take a look and figure out what heppened to perl.

It might be because of our training data, as perl gets less popular, our training data might simply not having enough good data. : )

My bet is that the stanzas believe the user is searching for Pearl. Perl is not in the English dictionary.
