make your own reddit

This won't be news to some of you, but we've opened up user-created reddits to the public -- in 3 flavors!

public reddit: just like the current reddits, anyone can view and submit to them.

restricted reddit: anyone to view the content, but only invited members may submit, comment, or vote.

private reddit: like a restricted reddit, but with the additional restriction that only members can view the content as well. Moderators of a reddit will be able to remove posts and ban users from their reddits.

We learned a long time ago that there are things you all as a community can do that we -- as a team of 5 -- couldn't possibly do. Creating different verticals for reddit is just one more area where we know our community can do a better job identifying and growing successful reddits. Our first new community, programming.reddit was created because users explicitly told us they wanted a place for users interested in programming to share links and discussion.

Now we're just taking ourselves out of the equation.

Along with creating your own you can find the most popular and newest reddits.

As you're exploring, if you find a community you like, there's a subscribe link in the top right that will add it to your front page.
