Reddit

Reddit is where millions of real people gather to talk, ask and debate across 100,000+ communities, from breaking news and sport to gaming, finance and every hobby in between. Trending topics, deep-dive discussions and comment threads where real people go deeper than you'd expect on the things they love. Whatever you're into, there's a community that gets it.

What can you do on Reddit?
Reddit is built around communities, or subreddits, which are forums where real people post, comment, ask questions and reply. You'll find gaming communities, meme-makers, football fans, travel enthusiasts, support groups, AI forums, news followers, artists, exciting AMAs and creators of every kind.

Everything on Reddit happens inside subreddits — what are subreddits?
Communities built around a specific topic, from r/worldnews to r/CasualUK, where real people post, comment and discuss. There are more than 100,000 subreddits, so whatever you're into, there are real people already talking about it.

How do upvotes and karma work?
Instead of likes and hearts, Reddit runs on upvotes and downvotes. Voting raises or lowers a post's visibility, so relevant, high-quality posts rise to the top while low-effort ones fade out. Voting also affects karma, a running score tied to your posts and comments. Karma doesn't limit what you can do, but more of it can help your posts get noticed, and some communities ask for a little karma before you post or comment to help keep out spam.
