Posts with more upvotes appear higher in their subreddit and can reach the front page. Reddit is moderated by community volunteers and platform administrators maintaining content quality.
With over 430 million monthly users across 138,000 active communities, Reddit hosts discussions on virtually any topic. The platform emphasizes authentic conversations, anonymous posting, expert AMAs, and community-driven moderation. Premium subscriptions provide ad-free browsing and exclusive cosmetic options.
