Reddit

Founded by two college graduates in 2005, Reddit is a social aggregation website that allows users to submit content, which is then voted up or down by other users. Content is organized into specific forums called "subreddits". The more upvotes a submission receives, it will appear near the top of the subreddit, and, if it receives enough, make it to the website's front page. Reddit has been decisive in shaping internet culture and giving rise to popular memes, as well as popularizing crowd-funding and creating the "AMA" interview format. This guide will help new users grasp the functions and culture of the site.
