Editing Reddit


[[File:Reddit-Logo-2005-2017.png|400px|right]]
Reddit is a major social media website, considered by itself (in its delusion) to be the face of the internet as oppossed to [[4chan]] as the stinky unwashed armpit of the internet. Reddit tends to be the more ad-friendly equivalent of 4chan, though that isn't [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversial_Reddit_communities saying much].

Reddit differs from 4chan in that you can found your own subreddits, which are generally left alone unless controversy or money gets in the way. This has a positive of giving people more power in their own subreddits, the downside of course being that some subreddits are barely touched, especially some of the lower interest/niche subreddits.

==Relationship (or lack there of) with /tg/, and 4chan at large==
For the most part there isn't one, the two avoid the other like siblings who hate each other. Occasionally you'll get somebody who posts a link from one site to the other, and this will be followed by complaining about the other site.  With that said Reddit does contain a number of subreddits with /tg/ relevant topics. (As to which topics get brought into /tg/, we provide a list further below.)

One reason for the general dislike between the two sites lies in Reddit's atmosphere and culture: Reddit ''loves'' sorting by "recommended" (i.e.: heavily upvoted) posts, so many threads devolve into people dropping in, posting a hot take aimed at farming upvotes, then vanishing in the wind when the liketrain grinds to a halt - all while posts with actual thought behind them are pushed down to the bottom of the thread. Making matters worse, the way that subreddits can be set up and curated by any user means it's ''very'' easy for echochambers of the kind that made old [[Tumblr]] so toxic to form: the subreddit's users can just downvote anything they disagree with until it becomes hidden by default (on top of being pushed to the thread's bottom), while the mods can unilaterally ban anyone going against the subreddit's zeitgeist.

In general though across most boards if someone believes you are a redditor, they will tell you that you have to go back. You are more likely to be told this if you use spacing often between ideas, using "memeflags", act like a troll/shill for something, or are generally disruptive. Or you posted something really cringe. Ironically enough, this is also the general reaction to 4channers on Reddit, and people on both sites often end up behaving in exactly the same way in any case.

Remember, don't be a Redditor, be a Reddit User.

==Current Status==
As of late, Reddit (as well as Twitter) has become the subject of many memes and jokes regarding the fact that their users have no lives, are stupid, or else any combination of the two. Some attribute this to the great Tumblr exodus, where some of the homeless NSFW artists migrated to Reddit.

While it would be overall foolish to say that Tumblr users alone have effected Reddit's reputation, the widespread willingness to mock Reddit also comes from the stereotypical arrogance of their userbase. Which to be fair, 4chan could also be accused of the same thing, but 4chan at least doesn't have people accusing each other of attempting to harvest upvotes every time they post.

TL;DR: 4chan largely despises Reddit's userbase for being preachy, arrogant, and generally loud-mouthed idiotic assholes. The feeling is mutual.

==/tg/ relevant subreddits==
*'''[https://www.reddit.com/r/40kLore/ r/40kLore]''' Good for answering lore questions, and is the number one breeding ground for book excerpts, plot summaries, and the occasional bit of fan fiction. Very up-to-date on the latest releases. Unfortunately like many subreddits it's no stranger to circlejerks of insufferably stupid opinions and mods who enjoy their power a bit too much. 
*'''[https://www.reddit.com/r/40kOrkScience/ r/40kOrkScience]''' Reddit users post memes, jokes, and random thoughts from an Ork's point of view. It's about as silly as you might expect.
*'''[https://www.reddit.com/r/1d4chan/ r/1d4chan]''' Functionally obsolete thanks to the advent of our Discord server, and was mostly dead even before that point.
* '''[https://www.reddit.com/r/Grimdank/ r/grimdank]''' Extremely briefly became a [[Battletech]] sub in protest of GW's new IP policy, then dropped that and became half meme and half circlejerk. Suffers from passed-two-hundred-thousand-followers syndrome; an annoying vocal minority of hardcore GeeDubs haters and repost bots are major annoyances. Still good for a few quick laughs and general 40k memery; to its dubious credit, it's a cut above most Facebook 40k meme groups. 
*'''[https://www.reddit.com/r/warhammer/ r/warhammer]'''
*'''[https://www.reddit.com/r/warhammer40k/ r/warhammer40k]''' The main discussion subreddit for 40k. Deals in everything from fan and official artwork to shots of painted minis to rule questions, but is a bit too broadly focused for its own good. Often clogged to the gills with posts of painted minis, so be ready to skim a lot or master the art of searching.
*'''[https://www.reddit.com/r/warhammerfantasy/ r/warhammerfantasy]'''
*'''[https://www.reddit.com/r/ageofsigmar/ r/ageofsigmar]''': General purpose AoS subreddit. 
*'''[https://www.reddit.com/r/aoslore/ r/aoslore]''' See 40kLore, but for Age of Sigmar. 
*'''[https://www.reddit.com/r/40krpg/ r/40krpg]''' 
*'''[https://www.reddit.com/r/WarhammerCompetitive/ r/WarhammerCompetitive]''' Lots of discussion on 40k and AoS meta and competitive play. Great for those who like to play competitive or who need a bit of tactical/list-building advice.
*'''[https://www.reddit.com/r/dnd r/dnd]''' Only just barely on this side of "not recommended" due to suffering r/gaming disease: It's a bit too general purpose for its own good. In this case, the main symptom is the flood of character art that drowns out basically any other topic.
*'''[https://www.reddit.com/r/pathfinder r/pathfinder]''' (for the Paizo campaigns), '''[https://www.reddit.com/r/pathfinder_RPG r/pathfinder_RPG]''' (for the actual RPG), '''[https://www.reddit.com/r/Pathfinder2e/ r/Pathfinder2e]''' (for the second edition).

More general purpose:
*'''[https://www.reddit.com/r/rpg r/rpg]''' Tabletop RPGs, mind, not C or J RPGs.
** [https://www.reddit.com/r/rpg/wiki/subreddits r/rpg also maintains a list of RPG subreddits]
*'''[https://www.reddit.com/r/wargames r/wargames]''': General purpose wargaming subreddit.
*'''[https://www.reddit.com/r/worldbuilding r/worldbuilding]''' the /r/egulars have been at this for years, so don't make the mistakes made in [[Dragonlance]] or [[Critical Role]]; Read This First if you're a GM starting a campaign world.
*'''[https://www.reddit.com/r/dndgreentext/ r/dndgreentext]''': [[/tg/]] relevant greentexts.

Relevant, but not recommended:
<!-- If you're going to remove the following, EXPLAIN THE FUCK WHY. You can use the talk page, or at least say something in the summary. If you don't provide a reason for removing this, you're gonna get reverted. We clear? -->
*'''[https://www.reddit.com/r/Sigmarxism/ r/sigmarxism]''': Varies between being a very left-wing 40K general and a sanctimonious pack of extremely preachy left-wing assholes (varying from self-professed Marxists to outright SJWs) wearing the skin of a 40k subreddit. Hates teh ebil capitalists at GeeDubs with a passion that would be hilarious if it wasn't so utterly pathetic. Mods are known for [https://www.reddit.com/r/Sigmarxism/comments/hia3z4/psa_leftpunching/ posting hypocritical bullshit about "not punching left"] while they shit on anyone that isn't as left-wing as they are ([[Irony|including other left-wing ideologies]]) and [https://i.imgur.com/ozEGKyw.png permitting the presence of tankies]. Best avoided, beyond the miniature pics. 
*'''[https://www.reddit.com/r/dndmemes r/dndmemes]''': Suffers from the same issue as most meme subreddits -- very few memes on there are actually funny or original (sometimes the "memes" are literal screenshots of Twitter posts; functional reposts of the same image with changed texts are another big problem), making it good for karmawhoring and little else.
*'''[https://www.reddit.com/r/archwarhammer r/archwarhammer]''': Only listed here for mild amusement value: Formerly dedicated to ArchWarhammer, a controversial Warhammer video creator. After a particularly bad bit of controversy, his subreddit's mod team gave the admin keys to his detractors (the same people running that sigmarxism shithole sub) who turned it into a subreddit (supposedly) dedicated to Warhammer Fantasy and 40k architecture, especially arches.
*'''[https://www.reddit.com/r/4chan/ r/4chan]''': We see you seeing us seeing you. Mainly [[/b/]] focused, with all the bullshit, boobs, bastardry and brain-blistering buffoonery that implies. How much you enjoy it will vary depending on your favoured boards - if you hate /b/, stay out of this.
*'''[https://www.reddit.com/r/greentext/ r/greentext]''': Softer version of r/4chan. Sometimes good for a laugh, other times full of slightly less unpleasant /b/tard bullshit. Again, how much you enjoy it is very reliant on your tastes.

Not Relevant, Not Recommended, But Still A Funny Story:
*'''[https://www.reddit.com/r/marijuanaenthusiasts/ r/marijuanaenthusiasts]''': Actually a subreddit for tree enthusiasts. As in, actual trees, like oaks, pines and so on. Got its name because the main ''actual'' marijuana enthusiast Reddit community was named "r/trees".
*'''[https://www.reddit.com/r/anime_titties/ r/anime_titties]''': A subreddit for discussing world politics, of all things. Got its name from the fact that the actual r/worldpolitics was so undermoderated that people started shitposting pictures of anime girls' breasts to prove the mods just didn't care (and, as it turned out, the Mods really didn't). It was eventually decided to just start a new subreddit with an active mod team, and to name it after the controversy. (Note that "r/animetitties" (no "_") is a different subreddit, and actually what you'd expect from that name.)
