Hey everyone, it's Matt here, and today I'm going to walk you through creating your very own subreddit on Reddit. So, let's dive right in.
I'm already logged into one of my Reddit accounts, right on the main homepage, but honestly, it doesn't matter where you start from. You'll see a sidebar full of options, but what we're interested in is about halfway down.
Look for "Communities" and there you'll find the "Create a Community" button. This is where the magic starts.
Clicking on that, we're prompted to name our subreddit. You've got 21 characters to play with, so make it count.
For this demo, I'm going with "Matt's subreddit." Remember, no spaces allowed, and this name will be part of your subreddit's URL. Next up, we need a description.
Something short and sweet that sums up what your community is about. I'm just going to type "a cool place to hang out" for ours.
Oops, looks like "Matt's subreddit" is already taken. Let's try "Matt's pool" instead.
Perfect, it's available! After naming our community and adding a description, we get to customize it further with a banner and an icon.
You can upload these from your computer if you've got something ready. Then, we select topics that best describe our subreddit.
I'm just having a bit of fun here and choosing a mix of fishing, activism, and role-playing games. These topics help with your subreddit's visibility, so choose wisely based on what your community is really about.
Now, it's important to decide on the privacy settings. You can go public, restricted, or private.
Public means anyone can view, post, and comment. Restricted allows anyone to view but only approved members to post, and private means only approved members can view and post.
I'm going with public for this demo. Lastly, make sure you're okay with Reddit's mod code of conduct and rules before you finalize creating your subreddit.
And there we have it! Our subreddit is now live.
I'm even going to make a welcome post for any potential members. It's a simple "Welcome new members" post, but it's a start.
From here, you can begin moderating discussions, adding rules, and maybe even bringing in other moderators to help out. Creating a subreddit is a great way to build a community around your interests or to bring an existing community into a new space.
I hope this tutorial has been helpful. If you've created your own subreddit, I'd love to hear about it in the comments.
