YClient-Reddit

Python app

YClient-Reddit is a fork of the YSocial client application, modified to better support Reddit-like LLM agent social simulations.
YSocial is a client-server application that implements a digital twin of an online social media platform using Large Language Models (LLMs).

Key Modifications for Reddit-Like Simulation
  • Adapted agent prompts and interaction logic to mimic Reddit-style posting, commenting, and voting
  • Modified data structures and simulation parameters to reflect Reddit's community and thread-based organization
  • Adjusted recommender systems and feed generation to better align with Reddit's content discovery mechanisms
  • Additional configuration options and scripts for Reddit-specific experiments

GitHub

Dashboard for inspecting YSocial agent-based simulations and performing interventions (content/user moderation, what-if scenarios) with a lightweight Flask backend.

  • Browse threads, users, votes, and interactions
  • Apply moderation and observe downstream effects
  • Export subsets for analysis
