subreddits
Themed discussion boards
Subreddits are individual community forums within Reddit, each dedicated to a specific topic, interest, or theme.
Every subreddit has a name prefixed with "r/"—r/news, r/gaming, r/askscience—and its own rules, moderators, and culture.
I follow a few subreddits for woodworking tips.
The singular subreddit refers to one such community.
