Wow, good job, Team Reddit!
Since I think you guy still read HN: Something you all seem to do very, very well is interact with your users. Almost every day I'll see somebody [usually jedberg] show up in a thread answering a question, or responding to something, or even just saying hello.

That's awesome :).
- StavrosK 16y agoAwesome? Would you still feel that way if your employees spent all day on reddit?!
- emmett 16y agoI imagine so, if they were productive enough to reach 1 billion page views per month while doing so. What makes you think that their community involvement isn't the reason reddit has thrived while competitors have failed?
- jedberg 16y agoWhat better way to foster a community than interact with it, eh? :)
- kn0thing 16y agoWhat else do you think non-technical founders should be obsessing over in those early months of a website? ;) But in all seriousness, that's a culture Steve and I had no choice but to bake into the site from day 0 because we had nothing without an active (and awesome) community. I'm thrilled to see that even a year after they trimmed the fat and we left, it still persists. Make no mistake, reddit has 1B pageviews a month because of the community -- those of us who wear admin badges are basically just janitors who keep the place running, so to speak.
