About
Exploring the world of fitness on r/Fitness, this data collection enables deep analysis of user engagement, shared learning, and daily discussions related to exercise and physical well-being. It provides detailed records of both original user submissions (posts) and the subsequent commentary (comments) on the platform. Careful attention must be paid to interpreting the data, as null values in the 'title' column signify that the row represents a comment rather than a post. Similarly, if the 'comments' column is null, it denotes a comment row, while a populated value indicates a post row. The 'post_id' column serves as the link connecting comments back to their original posts.
Columns

- post_id: The specific identifier linking all comments to the primary discussion post.

- datetime: The timestamp indicating when the post or comment was created.
