Subreddit

A term for a forum or community on Reddit. Commonly shortened to “sub”. As of September 2021[1], Reddit boasts more than 3 million subreddits with 52 million daily active users in more than 130,000 active communities. On average 60,251 new subreddits are added to Reddit each month[2].

Find the top growing communities in your favorite category at https://www.reddit.com/subreddits/leaderboard/[3]. When you find a sub you want to see more from, click "+Join" to add a sub to your Home feed. When you’re bored of it, the Leave button will be in the same place. You can Join or Leave a sub as many times as you want. There is no limit to the number of subs you can be joined in and nobody will ever know if you have joined or left any particular sub; not even its moderators.

**Types of subreddit**

Subreddits come in a number of varieties:

Public: Where anyone can view and submit posts and comments
Restricted: Where anyone can view but only some are approved to submit
Private: Where only approved members can view and submit
Gold: Where only Reddit Premium members can view and submit

**Your own subreddit**

Anyone on Reddit can have a community of their own! I give more details in Creating A Subreddit[4] and you should also see these articles first:

Things to know before creating a subreddit[5]
How to create a subreddit[6]

There needs to be an ‘Internet Adage’ stating that “If something exists somewhere, there’s already a Subreddit for it”. Prove me wrong, or call it “Llama’s Law”. Either works for me.
