Distinct people who posted about DeepSeek, its family or its products on each platform, 28 Sep – 4 Oct 2026, as of 8 Oct 2026 12:00Z; in development. From reading r_a3976cc40196, where each post counts once (n 1,503 posts on Reddit). There’s no total row: people are counted per platform and never added together, because one person can post on several. DeepSeek's share of each platform's posts in the 17 earlier stored weeks of the same era (2026-W23, 2026-W24, 2026-W25, 2026-W26, 2026-W27, 2026-W28, 2026-W29, 2026-W30, 2026-W31, 2026-W32, 2026-W33, 2026-W34, 2026-W35, 2026-W36, 2026-W37, 2026-W38, 2026-W39), per platform. Its figures are in those readings.
Its subjects on each platform’s own table
#9 of 851,309 people
#33 of 8568 people
Distinct people who posted about each subject, 4–10 May 2026 (2026-W19), as of 25 Sep 2026 19:30Z; in development. Each column is that platform’s own summary table: the rank is out of every subject it lists, hidden ones included, and each bar is scaled to that platform’s #1 (Reddit Claude at 10,705; Hacker News Claude at 30; n 16,468 posts for Claude on Reddit). Nothing is added across platforms, because one person can post on several. A product’s posts also count in its family. A hidden figure is never shown as a number; the reason is the stored text. “Not on this week’s table” means the subject isn’t listed there that week.
Family and products, contained, not stacked
A product’s posts also count in its family; the lab counts each post once, so these are never added.

Distinct people on Reddit, 28 Sep – 4 Oct 2026 (2026-W40), as of 8 Oct 2026 12:00Z; in development. Each bar starts at zero on Reddit’s own scale, where Claude’s 10,876 (Reddit’s #1) is the full bar; n is posts (n 16,896 for Claude). DeepSeek itself is not drawn here: its own reading counts 1,136 people on Reddit (n 1,503 posts), each post once across the family and its products. Reddit 7 days: 7 active.
