How to use Reddit?

I usually add subreddits about music and games that I like. The big subs are dominated by people jumping on the top comment with their terrible jokes, but for stuff you are interested in reddit is a pretty nice source to get all your interests in one neat place.

Also, most things that are at the top of the big subreddits will become topics in neogaf offtopic within one to three hours.
 
To see how vile, horrid, awful, shameful the human race often is, subscribe to r/news
Does anybody subscribe to it? It's very tough to stomach.
 
The subreddits are what reddit is about. I'm surprised you didn't realize... you could've looked into it a bit more. I deleted my accounts, and I didn't post that much outside of one sub. Barely any of them are really community based, so I used it more as a newsfeed than a discussion forum.
 
i always find it interesting that people really struggle to use reddit. It gets bashed a lot on here but I think it's mostly because people don't understand how it works lol
 
I wonder if this is a troll thread.

But I used Reddit is Fun app for my smartphone.

Unfortunately, NeoGAF doesn't have everything. I can't come here and just go to the Gone Wild Color thread and see the latest submissions because can't link to porn and stuff or you get a timeout. And not much of a FIFA (the game) community here. And not a lot on local sports either. Heck, I can check in on whats going on at my undergrad on Reddit. People joking say that reddit is no good on here, but reddit does have a lot of stuff where some of the communities are decent.

If you like Plex check out /r/cordcutters

I sub there and /r/roku

I learn a lot and they helped me cut the cable cord. Only paying $39.99 a month from Comcast.
 
Why unfollow all Standardsubreddits?

There may be some good ones among them

2 trains of thought :

1. They are default, so they are going to be filled with rubbish, comments are a battlefield. I sub to a few as I am interested in the content.

2. To cultivate your own Front Page filled with subs you enjoy. Then you can browse /all and get all the Hot/Top posts that will likely be full of stuff from the default subs. And a list of Hot content from your cultivated subs. I think you can also select to have the default subs not show up in your Front Page in RES.
 
The smaller/more specific the the sub, the better the quality (up to the point that it's inactive, of course).

Of the larger subs /AskScience is probably the best. /Games is good too (waaaay better than /gaming).
