I have read mentions of ‘Reddit’ for so long that I should know what it’s about, but I don’t. I’ve always been too busy, or lazy, to find out. This fabulous article is going to change all that:
Social Media is the place to ask questions and make connections. As a writer, many of the magazines I publish in or authors/editors I meet are via connections on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn. One platform that I also visit for this purpose is Reddit.
Not only does it give an insight to the platform itself, it provides a list of ‘sub-reddits’ [think groups] that could be invaluable, especially for science fiction writers like me. ๐
Here’s the link to the article:

My thanks to Chris the Story Reading Ape for posting about the article.
Well, it’s Saturday here in Oz, so happy weekend all!

Great share, Meeks! I’ve heard so much about Reddit but never investigated. Sounds like lots of potential for writers.

I’m leery. Reddit has a reputation for heating up political rhetoricโsome pretty violent, racist exchanges. It’s interesting that the tools that can be used for good are easily corrupted.

I’ve never tried Reddit so I can’t comment on that, but the sub-reddit of astronomers & other science bods would have been so great when I was struggling with binary stars etc. How much time I could devote to yet another social media platform is another question though.
