What does RedditMetis do?
RedditMetis pulls together a user’s public Reddit activity and turns it into a digestible profile with detailed analytics. It highlights most-used words, active subreddits, posting frequency, sentiment, and even generates light “personality” insights.
Whilst it’s not forensic-grade analysis (and shouldn’t be treated as such), it’s great for quickly understanding who an account is, what they care about, and how they behave online.
The lowdown: It’s ideal for quickly profiling accounts and spotting patterns.
How to Use:
1. Go to the RedditMetis website and enter the target’s Reddit username (no u/ needed).
2. Review the generated analysis including; ‘posts by weekday’:
‘Subreddit breakdown’:
And ‘comment statistics’:
Note: The platform can be a little temperamental in terms of not cooperating with certain plugins/ad blockers.

Basic sentiment and tone analysis.
Not suitable for high-confidence attribution on its own.
Highlights posting frequency and patterns.
Summary
RedditMetis is a lightweight OSINT tool for quickly understanding a Reddit user’s behaviour and interests. It’s best used during early analysis to generate leads and patterns, but should always be backed up with manual verification.
Ownership
Not publicly documented. According to the About page on the website, “RedditMetis is a community insights tool inspired by u/orionmelt ’s now‑defunct site, SnoopSnoo. When SnoopSnoo stopped working in 2019 due to API issues, RedditMetis was created as an alternative. It builds on a modified version of Sherlock, u/orionmelt’s original user analysis tool.”
Ethical Considerations
Only analyse publicly available Reddit data.
RedditMetis generates inferred traits (e.g. personality, sentiment). These can be oversimplified or wrong, so don’t present them as fact.
Be cautious with attribution. Correlation is not proof,
The tool’s analysis reflects built-in assumptions (e.g. keyword weighting, sentiment models). Be aware of hidden bias in outputs.
Respect user privacy and context of posts.
