Hey Scope Community, I have a question for everyone.

How good do you feel Reddit is? How does everyone use it?

    Hi @Queen_K, I use Reddit everyday! I think it depends on what you want to use it for. I use it as an escape, so I go on funny subreddits (categories) and lots of different cat ones! It has lots of interesting history content and more unusual categories such as pictures of objects that are well worn from being used so much!

    There are unfortunately a lot of subreddits that are offensive but if you 'join' the subreddits you are interested in then you can make your own 'home page' where you only see the content you want. It does tend to be very America focused and there is a lot of politics. I try to avoid that as much as possible and go back to looking at cute animals 😂

    I use Reddit every day too. I'll go on there for fun content or to look things up and see what people are talking about. Like Rachel, I've joined different subreddits that I find interesting or cute so my feed is all stuff that I want to see.

    Like any community of people I think it can get toxic at points, but if you're careful with what you follow it's usually quite fun 😊

    I tend to use Reddit for hobby things. As others have said it really depends upon the subreddit you're reading. Some are amazing and super helpful, others are places that should be avoided at all costs. 😆
