Reddit is a social news aggregation, content rating and discussion service founded by Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian in 2005, organized into thousands of user-created and user-moderated topic communities called subreddits. Content and comments are ranked chiefly by user upvotes and downvotes, and the platform, which went public in 2024, became one of the most visited websites in the world and a significant source of raw text data used to train large language models.
