Next to a post, you’ll likely see up and down arrows, as well as a number. Reddit as a whole is governed by the admins, employees of Reddit who have vast powers across the site, including the ability to strip moderators of their privileges, and even ban entire subreddits from the site. Subreddits are managed by moderators (“mods,” for short), volunteers who can edit the appearance of a particular subreddit, dictate what types of content are allowed in the sub, and even remove posts or content or ban users from the subreddit. The exact required number of karma points isn’t necessarily high, but the number is known only to Reddit. Namely, you have to have a Reddit account, your account must be at least 30 days old, and your account must be relatively active and have earned a minimum number of “karma” points as a result of that activity. You can only create a subreddit for a topic if you meet specific criteria.
A search for “World Cup” for example, turns up some popular posts about the World Cup and relevant subreddits such as r/worldcup and r/sports. There is a search bar near the top that you can use to find posts and subreddits related to a particular term. Or it will sort them by your chosen location(s) (instead of Best) along with Hot, New, Top, or Rising, if you’re not logged in. These icons will sort the posts by Best, Hot, New, Top, or Rising if you’re logged in. You can sort these posts by clicking one of the icons on the ribbon menu located underneath the Create Post text box (if you’re logged in with a Reddit account) or under a smaller header called Popular Posts, if you’re not logged in. The homepage (or “front page”) shows you various posts that are currently trending on the site, pulled from a variety of subreddits. If you’re just looking at Reddit for the first time, you may be a bit confused by what you are seeing, so here’s a quick rundown. Those are straightforward subreddits, but they can get weird, such as r/birdswitharms, a subreddit devoted to pictures of birds…with arms. For example, r/nba is a subreddit where people talk about the National Basketball Association, while r/boardgames is a subreddit for people to discuss board games. The name of a subreddit begins with “r/,” which is part of the URL that Reddit uses. Reddit is broken up into more than a million communities known as “subreddits,” each of which covers a different topic. End of the day this seems pretty standard for "Start-Up" style companies- trying to lay the foundation while moving ahead - more. Other teams were in absolute shambles spending more time trying to source the talent, build the tools, and try to find the support they needed than actually doing their jobs, by no fault of their own. They had the talent, tools, and support they needed to do their best work. Certain teams absolutely had it together. 95% of this depended on your manager, their manager, and your team.
REDITR REVIEW PROFESSIONAL
The flip side to that coin was that (when I was there) Reddit was struggling to be a well organized, professional company- things were always changing, turnover and burnout at all levels, and people's experience at Reddit was either pretty good/ok structurally or absolutely terrible. Even if there were so many challenges there was also so much room to grow and improve. This was facilitated by the company being as small as it was, but the best thing about working at Reddit is that you could tell the people working there gave a d*mn. They made good-faith efforts to engage the team with QA and try to address both tough and frivolous issues directly. CEO and other C-Suite were active in weekly All-Hands meetings and were open about progress, failures, opportunities. First the positives- Reddit genuinely cared about it's product, it's customers, and it's impact. This being both it's greatest strength and biggest issue when I was working there. Reddit was smaller and scrappier than I'd expected- a tech company that had been around 10+ years with only ~500 employees when I joined.
