Search covers subjects, readings, releases, communities, measured statements, quotes as pages show them, the glossary and the method. It never searches posts: the posts behind each figure are its fixed sample, on its page.

Measured statements

In development Written by fixed rules from this reading’s stored figures. No model writes them.

  1. On Reddit, 15 distinct people posted about DALL·E between 14 September to 20 September 2026: 457 posts, 0.11% of all Reddit posts that week (100.0% of these posts had an identifiable author).

    Reddit · 14–20 Sep 2026 · author coverage 100.0% · 7 days: 4 active, 3 not started · 1 partial

  2. On Bluesky, 21 distinct people posted about DALL·E between 14 September to 20 September 2026: 33 posts, 0.03% of all Bluesky posts that week (100.0% of these posts had an identifiable author).

    Bluesky · 14–20 Sep 2026 · author coverage 100.0% · 7 days: 4 active, 3 not started · 1 partial, 1 late heavy

1 more statement withheld. YouTube: its figure is hidden (n 2 people, below the provisional threshold of 10 (set before launch)).

What this reading rests on

Not counted: Google News, no longer collected.

Not counted: Exa, collected only now and then.

A day counts once it has settled: once the posts still expected for it are below the threshold, or, for posts loaded afterwards from an archive, once they’re loaded. Coverage day by day is in this reading’s conditions. How coverage is recorded.

Posts published 14–20 Sep 2026, as of 23 Sep 2026 18:23Z; in development. People count distinct platform identities and are never added across platforms. Share is DALL·E’s posts over all posts AIDRAN captured on that platform in the window. Reddit’s posts include its comments. There’s no normal share to compare with yet: a baseline needs earlier weeks of this subject. Choose any number to see what it rests on and the posts behind it.

Stored weeks

Communities

The communities the conversation about DALL·E happened in, grouped by platform.

  • r/ChatGPT users

The one community this reading stores; the rest of the track is posts in communities it doesn’t list.

4 communities hidden. r/generativeAI n 4, r/artificial n 2, r/StableDiffusion n 2, r/aiArt n 2 posts, each below the provisional threshold of 10 (set before launch).

This reading stores no communities for Bluesky.

Posts about DALL·E by community, 14–20 Sep 2026, as of 23 Sep 2026 18:23Z; in development. Each platform is drawn on its own scale. The word after each community is its type: who is there, not what it’s about (users are people who use one AI product; builders build with AI). A post counts once, in the community it was posted in.

Change

Not applicable

Change isn’t read against the week before (2026-W37) yet: this reading was made before that week’s readings were stored.

Change compares this reading with the previous stored reading of the same subject, usually last week’s, and both endpoints stay visible with their dates. Each value carries its n; open it for its full conditions, coverage included. Stored weeks, above, cross eras, which marks a change in how weeks were captured: March era weeks were rebuilt from archives, with live capture from 7 Mar to 31 May, Archive backfill weeks were backfilled from archives (Reddit, Hacker News and arXiv only) and September era weeks were captured live from 16 Sep and filled in from archives.
