Those of you who go regularly on Reddit, what are your favorite Reddits? Suggest awesome ones. Keep suggesting them!

http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/
Lots of karma whoring but it's still amusing to me, a lot of memes.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Games/
Quality posting, very informational on game industry and what is going on. Great place to find deals and talk to enlightened people with something intelligent to say.

http://www.reddit.com/r/gamingsuggestions/
Lots of gaming suggestions, I like reading this. I something find out about games I never heard about.

http://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/
Probably my favorite Reddit... with a lot of information being shared. I LOVE THIS REDDIT.

Right now I'm finding one of the best subreddits is www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting It really lives up to it's name, unlike stuff like r/funny and r/WTF.

I also really, really enjoy the shit out of /r/askscience, where actual scientists and experts answer questions that anyone can ask, and it's usually really interesting shit.

Apart from that I tend to browse my frontpage and hop in to specific subreddits like r/doctorwho or r/gallifrey to discuss the shows I watch and whatnot. There's a subreddit for eeeverything.

I rarely go beyond the homepage or r/new (or the stuff linked from there) unless something catches my attention.

I like this one but it can be a little hit or miss. The good questions are the one where the asker has some working knowledge of the subject but needs things explained in layman terms. "How does a bill become a law" would be a good one. Bad ones are either examples of wanting someone else to Google something for you (maybe the origins of Ant-man or something) or too broad to really be explained easily (black culture was one I saw like that)


www.reddit.com/r/RedditDayOf/

A new subject every day. Today is mental illness, last week there was a legos day, anything really.

www.reddit.com/r/DIY/

While this one sometimes is just "look at this thing i made...LOOK AT IT" it can be pretty cool to see people's different designs for things.

www.reddit.com/r/DepthHub/
A collection of insightful comments by Reddit users. Like the opposite of here. Lots of overlap with best of and ELI5 above.

Just the occasional offshoot if the homepage takes me there, yeah.
I ain't got time to get involved in Reddit, ifyaknowhutImean. I get most of my tech shit from other tech shit sites, usually the ones that Redditors refer to anyway in their posts.

Ugh. I hate, hate, HATE the SFW porn pages. Couldn't they have named them something else? I mean, the stuff in there is cool, but even the fucking NAME gets you in trouble at work!

/r/soccer is my go to. /r/circlebroke is really good too.

Although Charlie's not wrong. That site is filled with shitposters. I just have to navigate around it all.[DOUBLEPOST=1357002348][/DOUBLEPOST]ALSO DAE REMEMBER THIS LE GEM?!

Damn you all! I'd never gone onto Reddit before but now I can't stop reading all the interesting stuff! I just spent my afternoon (at work, in fact) browsing r/atheism.

And that's one of the worst subreddits.

I quit reddit a while ago. I was wasting soooooo much time. I occasionally hop onto /r/android or /r/androidthemes for inspiration on stuff to do with my phone, or to find some cool wallpapers/icons. I also still sometimes browse /r/tattoo because... I fucking love tattoos.

Without trying to sound like a douche (lol I know, right?) The smaller communities tend to produce the coolest stuff. Less people, less annoying assholes using their dead Carl Sagans for useless Internet points

I'm kind of a Reddit noob. What are the points useful for exactly? Just to rate your post up or down and position it in the replies?

Yeah they're literally worthless. I don't know why people are so gung-ho to get them, but then again I don't farm achievements in games either, so I guess I'm the outlier here.

For the most part I check /videos, /gaming, /music, /metal, and some of the game-specific boards like /guildwars2. /wow is basically just "guys look what mount I got today" at this point so I don't really bother with it anymore. I keep /science, /space and /askreddit on my frontpage feed because interesting stuff pops up from time to time. Lately though I've been lurking 4chan's /co/ because usual 4chan shitposting aside it's a pretty good board to find comic scans of stuff you've missed over the last couple years and/or random things like the Mega Man and Sonic comics (which are surprisingly good).

When I say I don't get it, I don't even mean in terms of content. I find it confusing to navigate and kind of an assault on the senses.
