Shadow banning
Reddit frequently commits shadow-banning, or removing user posts without notifying the user. Often it is by bot. Examples can be seen at reveddit.com -- as such, it should not be used for any important communications, it is unreliable. Wikinetman (talk) 23:47, 18 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Regardless of how frequent it is, I don't see how this is relevant to improving the article. ― novov (t   c)  03:56, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
 * How does it not improve the article to have accurate information about the site included? 2600:1700:1B00:15FF:DB5D:EA38:AADD:EB38 (talk) 17:41, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
 * My impression was they were just making a comment, not asking for changes to be made to the article. ― novov (t   c)  22:11, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

In the 2017 subsection of the "other controversies" section please could you remove the line. This is not a controversey and duplicates the content of the "april fools" section. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 11:43, 2 February 2024 (UTC) — Urro[ talk ] [ edits ] 13:31, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Merging List of Reddit April Fools' Day events into this article
Right now the list of april fools article is essentially a worse version of the April Fools Day section of this article. There is a lot of primary sources, not enough WP:RS and a lot more WP:Fancruft details than necessary. A merge may be better Soni (talk) 11:31, 2 April 2024 (UTC)


 * On the other hand, covering every year directly in this article seems a bit extraneous. Yeah, the successful ones, like the Button and Place, were covered widely enough to warrant a mention but the less successful ones aren't really that much more noteworthy than what any other company does for it's April Fools.
 * Personally, I'd slim down this article to just have a paragraph on April Fools, and make the list better. ― novov (t   c)  08:06, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I somewhat agree with Mir Novov; we could make the list article better by moving the section in this article off into the list, then make the section only a surface-level description. Rusty4321  talk contribs 15:57, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Yeah the others have made sensible points. I can buy that. We should reduce the section in this article drastically though. Withdrawing. Soni (talk) 16:57, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Based on this discussion, I have slimmed down this article so it does not look like a copy of the List article. I think all the pertinent details I removed from there are now in the list article already. Left behind is roughly a paragraph, which should be of a reasonable size and still link to the relevant pages. Soni (talk) 17:14, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Merge template
Can you modify the merge template to make the "Discuss" link more useful, similar to how I did. Thanks. --62.166.252.25 (talk) 18:27, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Please add: what is the license for user content? Is it legal to download a subreddit and public it somewhere?

 * @Vitaly Zdanevich You will have to find that information from Reddit terms of use, not here. Not every information about every website will be encyclopediac to list here. Soni (talk) 09:19, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I think this is an important question for Reddit - the very popular website. Vitaly Zdanevich (talk) 10:22, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
