I agree that a recommendation system would be awesome but is it really that hard to find a new subreddit? The search feature at http://www.reddit.com/reddits/ http://www.reddit.com/reddits/ seems fine.
- citricsquid 14y agoThe r/gaming example is a perfect example of why a search system doesn't solve the problem. I'm already subscribed to r/gaming so I don't think I need to search for another gaming subreddit. Another example would be r/battlestations, a subreddit for people to post their desks, I would never think to search for "battlestations" but it's a subreddit that I like a subscribe to (which I only found because someone recommended it elsewhere on reddit). Search only helps you find what you're looking for, it doesn't help you find things you might be interested in.
- makomk 14y agoThe reason you wouldn't think to search for "battlestations" is presumably because you don't visit 4chan. That entire subreddit is actually an example of a part of 4chan leaking onto Reddit.
