ELI5: How Does Reddit Work?

Reddit is like an internet hangout where people can share all sorts of things. It's made up of thousands of different forums called sections, each focused on a particular interest. You can discover forums on anything from cats and dogs to politics and current events.

To participate, you create an account and can then read reddit posts. You can also make your own posts and engage with others.

So, basically, Reddit is a massive social network where people can talk about anything they want!
