Notes about reddit
I started to use reddit (wikipedia entry) a few days ago and I find it amazing. How could I live so far without it? :) As there are lots of things to discover, I’ll make some notes here.
For a list of subreddits, visit http://www.reddit.com/reddits/. Help, FAQ.
For finding reddits easily, try metareddit.com, very useful. Here is an older post with the Top 10 subreddits that can give an idea what reddits are the most popular.
For posting images, use imgur.com.
Here is a post about Reddit’s (secret) API. In a comment there it is pointed out that you can add “.json” to any reddit address to get the content in JSON format! Example: http://www.reddit.com/r/EarthPorn/.json. This way, screen scraping is not necessary.
