Is there a list of good, high-quality subreddits somewhere? I would like to update my homepage to filter only the best ones.



List your interests/hobbies/favorite things. Chances are, there's a subreddit for each of them.


And going one further, each topical subreddit usually has a couple of higher quality spinoffs. For example, r/gaming vs. r/games, or r/askreddit vs r/askhistorians.


And going further than that, there's spinoffs that appeal to an even more niche audience. For example, r/gaymers and r/asksciencefiction


Not a list, but if you don't know where to start, check out r/bestof and dive deeper when you like the discussion on a particular subreddit.


Couple of other hints for subreddit discovery: if you find one interesting subreddit, check out its sidebar as many have a related subreddits section there. Also check "other discussions" tab for interesting links to see what other subreddits it has been posted on.

Picking your subreddits is a neverending task, I'm couple of years in and still keep finding new and old interesting subreddits.


Google "best subreddits" to start with.

Also, I guarantee if there's something you're interested in, there's a subreddit for it. Search for it here: http://www.reddit.com/reddits


Try finding some multireddits. They are shareable collections of subreddits you can pass around.


It completely depends upon your interests, I'm subscribed to a number of music related ones though nowadays I'm wondering why I don't just go back to a message board like AudioKarma...


Not that I know of, but if you like learning and are curious, I'd look into /TrueReddit and any other subs in the sidebar, and /AskHistorians, plus anything in their sidebar.


In addition to the others mentioned here, do also check out /r/DepthHub/ and its sidebar for other such decent quality subreddits.


There should be multireddits these days made for that purpose, but I haven't explored the feature enough to be able to provide the answer.
