Every once in a while, it’s always good to brush up on some reddit basics and resources. A while ago, we did a blog post about reddit 101, but we wanted to remind you of some awesome reddit resources you may not know about or have forgotten about! In addition, we have created /r/subredditads, the new, official subreddit to request free advertising and promotion for your subreddit or multireddit! In the past we’ve had subreddit ads for magic internet money and baby elephants, but we want you to create more! If you are passionate about a subreddit and want to grow the community, you can create a 300x250 pixel static image and post it in /r/subredditads. We’ll be going through submissions as often as possible and choosing the best ads to circulate around reddit!
Without further ado - here’s some links to brush up on your reddit resources.
