Note
The name joins sub- to the site's own, so it belongs to Reddit alone; elsewhere the same thing is simply a subforum. Each one is named with an r/ prefix, as in r/gardening. Their upkeep falls to volunteers: Adrian Chen, writing in 2015, quotes a moderator on the thousands of unpaid people who maintain 9,656 active subreddits.
