Reddit is a social media platform and online community where users can participate in discussions, share content, and engage with various communities known as “subreddits.” It was founded in 2005 by Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian and has since become one of the largest and most active websites on the internet.

On Reddit, users can submit links, text posts, images, and videos to specific subreddits. Which are dedicated to particular topics or interests. Each subreddit has its own community of users and moderators who oversee the content and discussions within that subreddit. Subreddits cover a wide range of subjects, including news, entertainment, science, technology, sports, gaming, and more.

The platform operates on a voting system where users can upvote or downvote posts and comments. This system determines the visibility and ranking of content within a subreddit or the site as a whole. Highly upvoted content rises to the top. While downvoted content becomes less visible. Reddit also allows users to comment on posts and engage in discussions with other users.
