For a co. that is handled by just a few developers, this is just phenomenal. Hats off to the team! :)

Reddit is an amazing site and an amazing community - there are a lot more factors that go into its success. However, I think quality has suffered slightly recently based on the amount of content that is FFUU comics and just plain pics. While I have been a user for 4+ years, and I love the site to death - there are some improvements in the UX tat could be made -- the most specific would be to allow further tags of images/image types. Since a fair chunk of the % of content is now images, I would be love to be able to unsub from specific image types. E.g. FFUU/rage based comics, regardless of their content/message, I just personally dont prefer them. Cute pics, etc... Reddit is king of my online content experience, but I am starting to need further granular control that is better that just /r/subreddits.

  It's funny, because the reasoning (from what I understand) for subreddits instead of tags was that subreddits create distinct communities. While this is true, cases like FUU comics being in every subreddit point to subreddits as failing to contain their communties. With an additive tag system (Show me posts tagged "Minecraft") or the current system, those posts show up anyway. With a subtractive tag system (For the love of god, no more "FUUU"), they wouldn't show up. Either way, I agree with you on FUU comics. They became so pervasive I just gave up and deleted my account.

  Fun fact: I created the F7U12 subreddit. I'm sorry, but it's a fantastic way to unwind and a great community due to the fact that most comics are common annoyances everyday people have. Besides, you can always unsubscribe.

    More power to that /r/! However - I am not a subscriber - and the FUU comic as a visual style has become a way of communicating in many other subreddits. I just want the style/genre of a pic to be taggable so I can opt-out. Regardless of the content of a FUUU / rage style comic, they never seem to be seen as appropriate view-at-work material.

      Oh, I agree with that. I hadn't realised there were comics posted in other subreddits that much, maybe I didn't notice because I am subscribed to FU...

    Well it was about common annoyances. Now it's mostly about the annoyances in social interactions.
