3. Features

A. Site

Reddit is a collection of entries contributed by its registered users (or Redditors) and is, essentially, an online bulletin board. The information is separated into various categories (or subreddits). A collection of 50 default subreddits is displayed on the top page for new users and those who are not logged in.

Redditors can vote for or against submitted content (link or text posts) on a subreddit (upvote/downvote). Each subreddit has its own home page, which displays the most recent posts and the highest-rated submissions. Redditors can comment on posts and reply to other users' comments. The comments were upvotable or downvotable.

The general front page of the site displays the highest-rated content from all subreddits to which a Redditor subscribes.

The logo for Reddit is a line drawing of an alien named "Snoo."

B. Subreddits

Reddit can be compared to a newsstand, with subreddits serving as newspapers and magazines. A subreddit has its own community, with its own members and set of rules. You can subscribe to any subreddit to receive updates regarding its news.

After creating an account, new users are immediately subscribed to a set of highly popular default subreddits. People are permitted to unsubscribe from and subscribe to any of these subreddits.

Each subreddit features a right-hand sidebar that provides Redditors with information about that subreddit. There are links for posting, subscribing, and unsubscribing from the subreddit. It also publishes the number of its subscribers and those who are now surfing. There are some rules, guidelines, useful information, and links to other comparable subreddits at the bottom of this subreddit's screen.

C. Redditors

Registering for a Reddit account is free, even without email verification.

Redditors can make posts, comments, and even votes after logging in. Redditors may also build subreddits for any topic they like.

By submitting text posts, link posts, and comments, users' "post karma" and "comment karma" will increase. Karma is a point system that indicates the quality of your submissions or remarks. The more upvotes a post has, the more karma it has accumulated. Typically, the topic or content of a post with greater karma will be of interest to the entire community. Your karma is displayed in the upper-right corner of the page. Please be aware that self-posts do not earn you karma. Just comments and link-posts are permitted.
