- Motivation
Reddit (Q1136) sub forums (aka subreddits) can be real sources of information on a subject in a comparable way to how hashtag (P2572) or Quora topic ID (P3417) can be used. Some of those forums are considered largely influential in the Internet culture (Q863590) and beyond. One of those forum - r/science (Q24207151) - even got an article in the English Wikipedia (Q328). Additionally, Reddit (Q1136) has a rather friendly application programming interface (Q165194) to access those forums data: https://www.reddit.com/r/$1.json. Maxlath (talk) 21:00, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
- Discussion
Support After the success of integrating with Quora, I'm open for also having Reddit links. ChristianKl (talk) 21:53, 15 May 2017 (UTC)- Support however I think there are about a million subreddits out there, some of which have topics that I think wouldn't link to anything here (gifs?). So some care might be needed in mix-n-match here, maybe just the active ones? ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:03, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
