Simplify your search in Reddit

What is Reddit, and how does it work?

As one of the largest and most active communities of people sharing their favorite content, Reddit is home to hundreds of millions of active discussions every day on a variety of subjects and communities. The site offers a variety of ways to browse, view, and share information and media on topics that interest you. Users can submit their own posts to a variety of topics called subreddits, and get voted on by the community. This is how it works in Reddit: users submit their content, and the community votes up or down on that content. The points are then assigned and then the content can be ordered by relevance.

Browse Reddit with the Address Bar

Reddit Omnibox supports a variety of browsers and operating systems, and users can navigate to a subreddit or user with the address bar on the site conveniently.

You can also navigate to a specific subreddit or user by typing the username into the address bar. For example, typing ‘r chrome’ will navigate to the subreddit /r/chrome.

You can specify a page with /hot, /new, etc. ‘r chrome/new’ or /top, /controversial can also specify a time period with /day, /all, etc. ‘r chrome/top/all’

You can leave the subreddit name blank to navigate to the front page. ‘r ‘ will navigate to the front page, while ‘r /top/all’ will navigate to the top frontpage posts of all time.

Navigate to a particular user with ‘r u/name’, using similar page breakdowns as in subreddit completion.
