Also, Reddit is a gold mine for humor and memes, so it’s no wonder kids are so tuned in. Kids can follow niche subreddits for information they can’t find anywhere else. Think of it like a Facebook feed, but populated only by the things you really care about. All of the top-performing posts from the subreddits you follow appear on your homepage. Every hour there’s a tidal wave of fresh, new content, and people add to it around the clock from all over the world.
Reddit is referred to as “the front page of the internet” for good reason. This crowdsourcing ensures that the most popular content rises to the top - for better or worse. When you post something on Reddit, other people have the opportunity to “upvote” or “downvote” it. As a result, Reddit has become an enormous content machine. For example, the subreddit about dogs (which is written r/dogs ) will only feature content on that topic.Ĭommunity members are known as “Redditors,” and they can submit content (everything from text and links to articles, images, or videos) to these subreddits. On these specialty boards, which are called “subreddits,” content rallies around the theme.
Put simply, Reddit is an enormous message board composed of (literally) millions of smaller message boards that cover any topic you can imagine - from TV shows, sports teams, and movies to dogs. In this post, we explain what exactly Reddit is (for a modern website, its interface can be a bit overwhelming!), why kids like it, and the potential dangers it poses for children. Its never-ending stream of content draws kids and adults alike to the platform - but is Reddit safe for everyone? Reddit is the fifth-most visited website in the U.S., in the same company as web giants Google, YouTube, Facebook, and Amazon.
