Reddit Jargons
Reddit has several invented words and they might overwhelm you along the way. Shrug your worry off! You can rely on the list below:
- Cakeday : Happy Cakeday! The moment you’ve made your account, you’re officially born… in Reddit. When you post or comment, a small cake icon appears near your username to let everyone know that you’re a newbie.
- Subreddit : Reddit consists of small communities called subreddits. Subreddits can be public or private. It can be a small community like “fans of BTS” or a broader one like “K-pop.” You can identify a subreddit when you see “r/[name of subreddit].”
- TL;DR : Too long; didn’t read. Well, be warned. Whenever you see TL;DR, there’s a long post waiting to be read! These posts would take you five to ten minutes to read.
- Upvote : Upvote is basically “like” on Facebook and Twitter. If a post has a high number of upvotes, it’s expected to be on the top page of the site. Simply tap
to upvote. The arrow will turn orange
when you’ve cast your vote. - Downvote : Downvote is the complete opposite of Upvote. If you disagree with the post, you can tap
. The arrow will be colored blue
when you’ve turned in your vote. - Karma : No, it’s not like what you think. If you post links, you gain “link karma.” If you comment on a thread, you get “comment karma.” Basically, your Reddit Karma is an ego boost. It’s not that much of a big deal but you know, it won’t hurt to go for high karma points. The moment your Karma goes down, the frequency of your posts will be limited.
- OP : Original Poster. You’re an OP if you have started a thread on Reddit.
- X-posts : These are posts submitted to a subreddit but have already been posted on a different subreddit first.
- OC : Two thumbs up for Original Content. Redditors usually upvote OCs. So, be original!
- Lurker : If you merely open Reddit to read posts, you’re a lurker. You came to Reddit to participate in conversations, so go interact with other redditors!
