If you would like this roundup sent to your reddit inbox every week send me a message with the subject 'philosophy'[34]. Or if you want a daily roundup, use the subject 'philosophy daily'[35]
However, I can do more.. you can have me search for any keywords you want on any subreddit you want. To customize the roundup, send a message with the subject ['custom philosophy'](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=subredditsummarybot&subject=set%20philosophy&message=200%0A25%2C%20keyword%2C%20example[36] keyphrase%2C%20last example) and in the message: specify a number of upvotes that must be reached, and then an optional list of keywords you want to search for, separated by commas. You can have as many lines as you'd like, as long as they follow this format:
50, keyword, example keyphrase, last example
You can also do ['custom philosophy daily'](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=subredditsummarybot&subject=set%20philosophy%20daily&message=200%0A25%2C%20keyword%2C%20example[37] keyphrase%2C%20last example) And you can replace philosophy with any subreddit.
