# What should you know about Reddit before joining?

What should you know about Reddit before joining?

## Answers

### Answer by Hitesh Vohra

- **Reddit** is a social networking platform that allows anybody to create and administer their own community, known as a sub-reddit on the platform. The entire platform functions as a social aggregation site, with users curating information that they either find on the internet or produce themselves.
- If you find a community you enjoy, become a member so that its posts appear in your home feed. Simply tap or click the Join icon, and new postings from that community will appear in your feed.
- A title and a video or photo, which you can upload from your computer, are required for media posts. Use the NSFW tag to designate anything that isn't suitable for work. There are also link posts, which require a title and a link. Click the Post button when you're finished.
