Data is beautiful—and I’m in love. I swear it’s not just because of its gorgeous pie charts, voluptuous curves, and stunning axes… Promise! When it comes to showing off just how stunningly data can be presented, there’s no better to place to feast your eyes than the ‘Data is Beautiful’ subreddit that hosts a massive community of over 15.6 million people and which celebrated its 9th birthday in February.
The community is full of math, statistics, and art lovers, as well as professionals who use data every day. Often, they get so inspired by the eye-pleasing charts and graphs, they create their own and end up on the front page of Reddit.
We’ve collected some of the most aesthetic expressions of data found on r/DataIsBeautiful for you to enjoy, so scroll on down and have a peek, dear Pandas. As you dive deep into the world of stats, upvote the images that you liked the most. Remember, the charts love it when the numbers go up. (Pssst, the subreddit even has its own Twitter page and Discord server.)
I had a lovely chat with some of the moderators running the ‘Data is Beautiful’ community, including redditors NotABotStill and PHealthy. So be sure to read on for the in-depth insights they shared with Bored Panda about the ins and outs of how the small team of professionals manages the massive community of content creators. They’re a very friendly bunch, so you shouldn’t hesitate to join the community if you’re into charts, graphs, maps, or, well… simply love looking at pretty pictures.
