Reddit

Reddit is a major social media website, considered to be the face of the internet as oppossed to 4chan as the armpit of the internet. Reddit tends to be the more ad-friendly equivalent of 4chan, though that isn't 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.

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", acting like a troll/shill, or generally being disruptive. Or you posted something really cringe. This is ironic, as people on both sites often end up behaving in exactly the same way in any case.

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.

In short, Reddit is largely despised currently for the userbase being actively preachy and arrogant about their reputation as "the face of the internet" and for generally being stupid.

/tg/ relevant subreddits

• 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.
• r/forgeworld
• r/40kOrkScience
• r/1d4chan Mostly dead, except when the wiki goes down)
• 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. Still good for a few quick laughs and general 40k memery.
• r/warhammer
• r/warhammer40k
• r/warhammerfantasy
• r/ageofsigmar
• r/aoslore See 40kLore, but for Age of Sigmar.
• r/40krpg
• 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.
• r/pathfinder (for the Paizo campaigns), r/pathfinder_RPG (for the actual RPG), r/Pathfinder2e (for the second edition).

More general purpose:

• r/rpg Tabletop RPGs, mind, not C or J RPGs.
  • r/rpg also maintains a list of RPG subreddits
• r/wargames
• 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
• r/dndgreentext: /tg/ relevant greentexts.

Relevant, but not recommended:

• r/sigmarxism: What it says on the tin: far left Warhammer fans. Full of extremely preachy assholes, hardcore communists, and the occasional SJW. Hates GeeDubs with a passion that would be hilarious if it wasn't so bloody pathetic. A few gems (painted mini posts, and that's about it) can be found in the muck if you're willing to hold your breath, but other than that, avoid this place like Nurgle's Rot. Amongst other things, real life terrorists have been praised here. Stay away for your own sanity.
• r/dndmemes: Suffers from the same issue as most meme subreddits: very few memes on there are actually funny or even all that original (sometimes the "memes" are literal screenshots of Twitter posts), making it good for karmawhoring and little else.
• 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, who turned it into a subreddit dedicated to Warhammer Fantasy and 40k architecture, especially arches.
• r/4chan: We see you seeing us seeing you. Mainly /b/ focused, with all the bullshit, boobs, bastardry and brain-blistering buffoonery that implies.
• r/greentext: Softer version of r/4chan.

Not Relevant, Not Recommended, But Still A Funny Story:

• 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".
• 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.)
