MetaChat - so who here is on reddit?

MetaChat is an informal place for MeFites to touch base and post, discuss and chatter about topics that may not belong on MetaFilter. Questions? Check the FAQ. Please note: This is important.

so who here is on reddit? I'm just a lurker. I like IAMA and TodayILearned and also the various lulz and cruft, I admit. Any other redditors about? What subreddits do you like?→[More:]

Also, my habit of typing in blackberry, iphone or word makes me assume various Auto Corrects, like capitalisation of my first letter in a sentence. Must remember this does not exist on a website.

I am (username: Jordan117), but I don't use it nearly as much as I did Digg before it went down the tubes. I generally stick to reading the front page via Google Reader, but admit to being a total sucker for the rage comics on the F7U12 subreddit, which I'll go out of my way to check out once or twice a day. The Inglip subreddit (outlined in this Mefi post of mine) is great too, though not nearly as active.

I don't like reddit. Too immature.

Can't stand reddit for both lack of a nice interface and lack of niceness.

I think The Blue has uncovered one of the best justifications for Reddit ever: "Have any of you ever found a great PDF online?". There have been quite a few diamonds in Reddit's field of batshit lately, maybe it'll get a little more respect from its Corporate Owners, Conde Nast... naahh. But managing a rather massive site with little more staff than MetaFilter, yeah, it's gonna get ugly.

I can't make sense of the interface either, but the PDF thread is a good idea. I love PDFs, irrationally.

I'm on Reddit. I like it... it's a bit more shoot-from-the-hip than Metafilter, which makes for nice variety. Unfortunately I just stick to the front page and AMA. Sometimes I look at pics, aww, askreddit, or offbeat.

I have an account, but I seldom visit.

There are a few subreddits that I found by trial and error throw up stuff that is interesting to me. Those are a pretty mixed bag, things like cogsci, soccer, doctorwho and productivity.
