Wholesome

An old-fashioned word beloved by Reddit meaning innocent, clean, moral, decent. Think squeaky-clean child-friendly, possibly even enlightening entertainment and you’re there. On Reddit over the years, Wholesome, like many other words, has changed its meaning. It was originally used ironically to mean weak or anodyne in much the same way that the use of the word “lame” does not describe a walking impediment but instead means something is uninspiring, dull, or even “cringe”; another word that has acquired additional meaning.

Reddit has two Awards called Wholesome; a low-cost one sometimes given free for "When you come across a feel-good thing" and an Appreciation Award called Wholesome (Pro). Both icons are based on the Seal of Approval or Satisfied Seal meme picture[1].

We have many “feel-good” subreddits, and a good starter Custom Feed is the Wholesome Network[2].
