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.
- r/AskReddit, where 50M people are ready to answer anything on your mind — real people who've been there too.
- r/unitedkingdom, everything from UK news and politics to culture and the chaos of everyday British life.
- r/PremierLeague, for football fans debating every match, transfer and VAR controversy.
- r/funny, full of humour, memes and content made to make you laugh.
- r/gaming, join 46M gamers to swap tips and share what you're playing.
What do people use Reddit for? People come to Reddit to:
- Find communities for everything. Breaking news, sport highlights, TV fan theories, open AI discussions and personalised content. There really is a community for everyone.
- Get loads of laughs. Memes, oddly satisfying clips and funny videos to help you happily lose track of time.
- Join AMAs, or "Ask Me Anything". Celebrities, series creators and experts answer real questions from real people in live sessions.
- Follow honest discussions on any topic. Pop culture, sport, entertainment, finance. People jump in with humour and insight on just about anything.
- Get answers to your questions. Ask communities about relationships, mental health, parenting, careers, fitness and more.
- Find your people. Jump into threads with social debates, connect over any topic and chat with redditors who share your interests.

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.

Reddit is one of my favorite apps!

I keep using it in HS when I try to avoid talking to idiots and it’s just a great distraction from the noise of the deranged monkeys in my class.Even tho I’m a lurker and I never talk to people it’s still a great app. I love how the users are usually supportive of each other, especially r/teenagers. I feel like I was helped by the users even tho I didn’t speak to them but if I ever feel like I need to communicate to teens I’ll probably go there. So yeah great app!!
Multiple UX problems, and this crash is the cherry on top
DiriDam
The worst UX thing is how many options you have for scrolling to the top or exiting the page you are viewing (be it a users profile a subreddit). Firstly, swiping to the left shouldn’t be how you exit the page and the button in the corner shouldn’t refresh the home page. There, now it’s usable. I was scrolling through a sub lately, as I do for research on tech regularly, and I existed it 5 times, needing to quickly scroll to find where I left off. Tumblr or TikTok have the option to undo going to the top of the page and it’s a miracle for overall user experience.I was writing an educational comment and after I had written three long paragraphs, the client crashed. It’s not the first time it has suddenly crashed, but usually it’s not that much of a problem.Using the latest version of the unmodified iOS client on an iPhone 15 Pro.
Autoplay is running all videos at once on phone screen
Iridayum
Why on Earth is Reddit app Autoplaying all the videos on the screen while scrolling, instead o just 1 at the time? So I scroll and 3 videos are playing at the same time. One at the top if it is longer, the on in the Middle that I'm trying to watch, and the one at the bottom that try not to peek at it and once I'm at the 3 clip it's already in the middle of the playtime if not ended already.It should play only 1 video at the time. The one that I'm focused on.The previous video will still play even if it has 1mm left of it's thumbnail, with sound included.Can you add a option in settings to play only 1 video per screen swipe please? Thank you. (iPhone 15pro max, reddit Card View)
