In the app and at the top of the [website](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12445/5-ways-to-make-your-website-more-professional), there is a search bar that allows a user to type in a [keyword](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/335685/keyword-optimization-best-practices) and walk through the posts, communities, and discussions. This characteristic gives the aspect the ease to find relevant material without reading irrelevant information.

Users may decide to see profiles, communities, remarks or friends. Let's say the word [fitness](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/11349/fitnesse-vs-selenium) tips as an example of it, and you will see that the [community](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/300789/common-mental-health-problems-faced-by-the-lgbtq-community) and discussions around fitness will be represented, so you will easily find useful and specialized information. Reddit communities are referred to as [subreddits](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/96157/how-do-i-make-a-subreddit-on-reddit), denoted by r/communityname. The combination of adding r/ to the start of a keyword will jump to that particular sub Reddit. As an example, a typing of r/[science](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/44069/science-and-business-mutually-beneficial) leads the user into the science community. This is a quick and [efficient](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/33637/three-tips-for-an-energy-efficient-home-for-2019) way of finding a particular subreddit. Users could also use filters such as the top, new, or hot to sort results in accordance to the popularity and time. The ability to search through a particular sub-reddit narrows the [content](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12427/4-types-of-blog-phrases-that-keep-content-readers-engaged) down to the discussion within that particular community further where users can access particular and relevant information. ## Conclusion browsing on Reddit also includes visiting the search bar, filtering, and searching using the name of the subreddits. Community search and the aid of filters encourages users to reach a definite output with ease. These mechanisms guarantee an easier method of getting involved in and finding related conversations. --- Original Source: https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/115705/how-can-i-search-for-topics-or-communities-on-reddit Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
