+## What this is
+
+Every row here was returned by a real run of a public collector. Nothing is generated from a
+template over a keyword list: a row exists because a run observed it.
+
+## Provenance
+
+Each row carries `_run_id` and `_dataset_id`, naming the collector run that produced it, so any
+row can be traced back to the run that observed it. Rows observed by more than one run are
+deduplicated on content; 8 duplicate observations were collapsed.
+
+## Files
+
+- `lemmy-scraper.jsonl` — one JSON object per row, the canonical form
+- `lemmy-scraper.csv` — the same rows flattened; nested values are JSON-encoded within their cell
+  so they round-trip
+- `dataset.json` — schema.org `Dataset` metadata
+
+## Loading it
+
+```python
+from datasets import load_dataset
+ds = load_dataset("reapxdev/lemmy-scraper", split="train")
+```
