TORONTO – Reddit has released a geographical breakdown of visits to the social networking site by city to show what cities are the most Reddit-obsessed in the world.

As it turns out, Canadians are some of the most obsessed Redditors.

Reddit used Google analytics over a 12-month period to see what city’s subreddits were the most visited and most active. It released the list ahead of Global Reddit Meetup Day on June 15, organized to bring Reddit users together in their cities to meet face to face.

Toronto, whose subreddit is /r/Toronto, placed second on the top cities by total visits list.

Calgary placed second on the “Top ten cities – page views per capita” category, followed by Edmonton in third place, Toronto in fourth and Vancouver in fifth.

In April, Reddit had over 69 million unique visitors.
