A subreddit is a sub-community on 📝Reddit dedicated to the discussion of a particular subject — ranging from broad topics like r/technology and r/gifs to specific topics like r/teslamotors and r/startledcats. Users vote on the content submitted to each subreddit based on its merit within the discussion — often a measure of its relevance, uniqueness, or cleverness.
Each subreddit's submissions feed into r/all and are thus able to reach the front page of Reddit — the most popular of the 📝Cloud Communitys. Reddit hosts more than 100,000 active communities among the millions of subreddits created since 2005.
