Reddit is a social media platform that serves as a network of communities, known as subreddits, where users can engage in discussions, share content, and participate in voting systems. The platform allows users to create and join communities based on various interests, from hobbies and technology to news and niche topics. Users can share links, text, images, and videos, and engage with others through comments. The voting system, which includes upvotes and downvotes, helps surface quality content and ensure that the most relevant discussions are visible to the community.

One of the key features of Reddit is its diverse content, which includes AMAs (Ask Me Anything sessions) where experts and celebrities interact with users. The platform also offers moderation tools to ensure that discussions remain respectful and relevant. Additionally, Reddit provides features like Reddit Talk for audio discussions and supports real-time chat functions. Users can commemorate their "cake day," which marks the anniversary of their account creation, and explore personalized content based on their subscribed subreddits.

Reddit's structure allows users to discover communities that match their interests easily, making it a valuable resource for knowledge sharing and community engagement. The platform is accessible via both mobile and desktop devices, providing users with flexibility in how they interact with the content and communities available.

Reddit (stylized in its logo as reddit) is an American social news aggregation, web content rating, and discussion website. Registered members submit content to the site such as links, text posts, and images, which are then voted up or down by other members. Posts are organized by subject into user-created boards called "subreddits", which cover a variety of topics such as news, politics, science, movies, video games, music, books, sports, fitness, cooking, pets and image-sharing. Submissions with more up-votes appear towards the top of their subreddit and, if they receive enough up-votes, ultimately on the site's front page. Despite strict rules prohibiting harassment, Reddit's administrators spend considerable resources on moderating the site.As of May 2020, Reddit ranks as the 19th-most-visited website in the U.S. and in the world, according to Alexa Internet, with 55% of its user base coming from the United States, followed by the United Kingdom at 7.4% and Canada at 5.8%.Reddit was founded by University of Virginia roommates Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian in 2005. Condé Nast Publications acquired the site in October 2006. In 2011, Reddit became an independent subsidiary of Condé Nast's parent company, Advance Publications. In October 2014, Reddit raised $50 million in a funding round led by Sam Altman and including investors Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel, Ron Conway, Snoop Dogg, and Jared Leto. Their investment valued the company at $500 million then. In July 2017, Reddit raised $200 million for a $1.8 billion valuation, with Advance Publications remaining the majority stakeholder. In February 2019, a $300 million funding round led by Tencent brought the company's valuation to $3 billion.
