To date, there are just over 2.8 million subreddits. People can share the same types of information and comment on each other’s posts.
Subreddits are specific forums with rules set up for a common-interest community. There are other features of Reddit, such as instant chat, direct messages, and rewards for contributions. Posts are organized into subreddits, but “hot” posts with enough upvotes can make their way to the homepage. Then other members can vote the posts up or down and add their input. Members can submit all sorts of content – links, text, images, and videos. It is a free membership website for news, memes, support, ratings, serious discussion, crafts, and everything in between.
Reddit is like one giant online bulletin board.
