ELI5: How Does Reddit Work?

Reddit is like a massive discussion board where people can talk about all sorts of stuff. It's made up of loads of different forums called boards, each focused on a specific topic. You can look for groups that discuss anything from video games and sports to cooking and travel.

To participate, you join the website and can then look at what people are saying. You can also share your thoughts and engage with others.

The cool thing about Reddit is that it's all based on likes and dislikes. If people find it interesting, they upvote. If people don't like it, they give it a thumbs down. This helps to keep the best content at the top.

So, basically, Reddit is a huge platform for discussion where people can talk about anything they want!
