Founded in 2005 by Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian, Reddit is a decentralized online community where users can submit posts, comment, vote (upvote or downvote), and share content. The platform covers a wide range of topics from entertainment and technology to sports and niche subjects like academic research and personal development. Users share news, stories, images, videos, and links anonymously. Reddit is known for its subreddits, which are communities centered around specific topics or interests where users can post and comment. Each subreddit has its own set of rules and culture. Users upvote or downvote posts and comments, determining their visibility on the page. Reddit also features a Karma system where users earn points based on the upvotes their posts and comments receive, reflecting their contributions and popularity within the community. Additionally, AMA (Ask Me Anything) is a signature feature of Reddit, where users can invite celebrities or interesting individuals for live Q&A sessions, allowing for interaction with the broader community.
Reddit is a social news aggregation, web content rating, and discussion website where registered members can submit content to the site such as links, text posts, and images, which are then voted up or down by other members.
