If you dig deeper there is still a lot of good stuff. It turns out that the idea of having each subreddit be a small 'community' kinda works. Each day my wife checks out /r/Frugal just to see if there is anything new. She doesn't really have any use for the rest of the site unless she's REALLY trying to kill time but the Frugal reddit does a great job of aggregating stories she's interested in.
If all you look at are /r/funny, /r/pics and /r/politics then you're missing out.
- aaronblohowiak 17y agoi like: /r/programming /r/gamedev /r/games /r/relationship_advice ;)
- kn0thing 17y agoThis is something we still need to improve. Too few visitors to reddit understand or even know about how this vast network of user-created reddits should work. See, here I go wanting to mock a new redesign up in photoshop...
- teach 17y agoI've been a reddit lurker for 4 years, and I was one of the hordes clamoring for tags back in the day. When subreddits were introduced instead, I was a bit disappointed. But now, these many years later, I can see how the subreddits become independent communities in a way that tags would never have accomplished. I'm still proud of you guys for that decision. Thanks for a great site that I still spend way too much time reading every day.
- bhrgunatha 17y agoThe main problem is, reddit isn't helping its users discover those needles in the haystack. It's down to serndipity or sheer bloodymindedness clicking next next next while looking through the list of subreddits. Maybe leaving users to create other sites mapping out reddit is a good idea, but reddit could do a lot more to aid discovery.
