     Reddit is a massive site founded in 2005, consisting of many, many different subsites, conveniently called ‘subReddits’. These range from broads topics such as ‘/r/funny’, ‘/r/gaming’ or ‘/r/jokes’ to very specific subReddits like ‘/r/Sneakers’, which simply discusses all kinds of sneaker shoes and has no less than 50,000 subscribers or so-called ‘Sneakerheads’. Similarly, there is also a subReddit made entirely for lovers of the fantasy cards game ‘Magic: The Gathering’, gathering almost 133,000 fans of the game together. All of these subReddits are little separate hubs from the main portal with a group of like-minded people sharing a deep interest of the same topic.
