Ever since the fall of Digg back in 2010, I’ve been an avid member of Reddit. And by “avid member,” I totally mean “lurker.” I browse it on a daily basis, consuming its user-generated content like a baby eats Gerber. Do you not know what Reddit is? Have no fear. But for those of you who are already Redditors and want to browse it while on-the-go, then this article’s for you.

As one iTunes reviewer put it so succinctly: “I find myself browsing Reddit more and more on this app than a browser. Clean, efficient, quick”. Alien Blue is a $3.99 app that enhances the Reddit experience with touch-enhanced gestures and a gorgeous user interface. Be warned – you’ll probably never touch the website version of Reddit again.

One of the hardest things about taking on a creative project is not having anyone to share it with when all is said and done. Although there’s enough reason to just make stuff for fun, sometimes it’s great to get other people’s opinions. As we’ve said before, Reddit is an excellent place to share links and discuss topics with people from all over the world.

Every society and/or community has their own unwritten rules of proper etiquette, courtesy, and communication. Granted, I’m not going to say every set of rules is perfect, but I will say that they do exist.

Today, I’ve got only six of the billion unwritten rules that exist on Reddit.

If you blink, sleep, or take a bathroom break, you could miss the next big story or meme – and which self-respecting Internet surfer wants that to happen to them? That’s why Reddit’s new free monthly downloadable PDF magazine is essential reading if you want to see what you’ve missed in the Reddit world.

Reddit is more than just a time sink where you can look at pretty girls, read about nerdy stuff, and procrastinate as you build a memory of random trivia. Reddit can be used to learn things, believe it or not. Here, we are going to point you to the subreddits where you can go to acquire brain power. Let’s get smarter.

A few of us here on MakeUseOf like Reddit, and apparently so do quite a few other people out on the Internet. Some of those people like it so much that they even create their own web apps and phone apps to use the site in much more creative ways. Once again, we have another unusual way to use Reddit, and this time, it comes in the easy-to-digest form of the Reddit Investigator.

We’ve covered Reddit quite a few times here on MakeUseOf with articles that explain how it works and what you should be reading on it. However, since it’s a constantly updating site, it seems like the only way to stay on top of things is by F5-ing every other second. But really, who would want to do that? Fortunately, Erqqvg has created a nifty little real-time visual Reddit updater.

In recent times, Reddit has been labeled as a kind of Internet cesspool – a place where only the most vile and disgusting individuals go. Granted, this may come from a general misunderstanding of how the website works, and with that being said, I can understand the confusion. Today, I’d like to give just a general overview of how Reddit works.

Since its surge in popularity in 2006, Reddit has truly become the epicenter of social news and information. We’re in an age where the newspaper is gradually inching towards extinction as more and more people are turning towards RSS feeds and social media. Reddit is a community that is completely powered by their users and that’s why it is such a success today.
