RedditReddit.com, to most people, might look totally alien and drab. But if you're familiar with Reddit, you know what an incredible tool it can be.
At first glance, Reddit just looks like a list of seemingly random links. But Reddit's front page is actually comprised of posts that thousands of people recently voted to the top of their respective communities, or "subreddits," which are areas of Reddit dedicated to a topic or idea.
There are subreddits for just about everything. If you have a particular hobby or interest, there's a good chance there's a subreddit for it. Just type www.reddit.com/r/____ , and fill in that blank. No, really. It works most of the time.

You'll find subreddits for advice (like r/AskReddit, or r/PersonalFinance), for movie-lovers (r/Movies and r/MovieDetails), and even subreddits for your favorite TV shows (like r/TheBachelor, or r/FreeFolk for "Game of Thrones" fans).
But if you're new to Reddit - where should you start?

These subreddits are just the tip of the iceberg.
There are literally thousands of subreddits out there, just waiting to be explored. Some communities are much larger than others, but it's incredible to know there are subreddits for almost every city, and people who like Ouija boards, and engineers, and Christmas, and Power Rangers, and just about anything you can think of.
