Hi vit05, thanks for your comment, I will try to explain why Forum is very different from Reddit.
actually most social networks (Reddit, Twitter, Facebook...) offer more or less the same functionalities (post content, comment/like content, follow people, chat, create groups, search content...). It is ofen hard to explain the difference between those three, but once one try each once, the differences appear to be obvious. And it is all about the experience and how those functionalities interact with each other.
Forum proposes the same functionalities than those social networks but differentiates itself by the way those functionalities are assembled together. I would be very thankful if you can give a try to the app or have a look on the few articles I wrote about this project : https://medium.com/the-genesis-of-forum https://medium.com/the-genesis-of-forum maybe you will see that it is very different from Reddit.
--------------
One thing about the experience of Forum is that it aims to be a publishing platform like Medium, where you can published long stories, simply by posting 'thoughts' (or comments) successively. Even if you can do that on Reddit, the UX between a Medium Story and a Reddit long post is definitly not the same. Forum aims to provide the UX experience of a Medium Post in a more "mingle" way.
A second thing is: Imagine you can read other's people chat between 2 peoples not in a "comment" UX way but in a "messaging" way like Whatsapp, Messenger, Telegram, Kik... While Reddit doesn't provide this experience, Forum provides it.
Hope this is helpful
