Reddit loves being self-referential, and this encyclopaedia is an attempt to help you decode and join in the unique Reddit culture when you see it. These words, phrases or obscure references make communication more efficient - and fun - for regular Redditors but can sometimes leave new or casual users confused. Like all subcultures, a specialised internal lexicon has developed over the years. Reddit is an English-speaking community, but it may not always seem that way. The Entry Comments also might not appear in alphabetical order within each Letter Post, depending on whether or not they have received votes or if I’ve added them at a later date. This is because the rest of the Entry Comments have been auto-collapsed by Reddit, but clicking that link will make them appear. If you are scrolling through the entries on this Post-and-Comment version, you might occasionally notice a little link saying “2 more replies” or a similar number just before the next Letter Post starts. There are also at least 26 literary quotes from 20 famous authors hidden throughout the text. See Also: - this will give links to other related subs and relevant links to other encyclopaedia entries. Look out for one or both of these categories at the end of each entry:īecause there is a Subreddit for everything: - this will give links to interesting and/or vaguely relevant subreddits, many of which I absolutely guarantee you won’t have seen before! Nevertheless you can find it here: Encyclopaedia Wiki
There is a Wiki version but as subreddit wikis aren’t compatible with the mobile app, it will be incomplete, links will be missing and parts are now outdated because I can’t keep up with it.
The main and most up-to-date one is this one, in a Post-and-Comment format. There are two versions of this resource, both carrying much the same information but in different formats. My advance apologies if you’re looking for a definition or link I haven’t done yet. This whole thing, including its links and hotlinks, is very much still a work in progress and is being amended and added to constantly. This huge second edition replaces my original Encyclopaedia Redditica, preserved here for posterity. Along the way I’ll be taking deep dives into Reddit History and Lore, and providing several guides to Reddit’s common behavioural traits and favourite logical fallacies. This is an ongoing compilation of acronyms, initialisms, terms, slang, memes, references and responses often used on the internet with an emphasis on those specifically used on Reddit. This project might be in danger of becoming redundant in any event as the admin team of the new r/reddit sub are slowly rolling out similar guides to Reddit events and history, but I’m always of the belief that having more resources is better than less, so I’ll keep updating this to the best of my unpaid ability.Īn A-Z Guide to Reddit Jargon, History and Memes If anything I say accidentally contradicts anything Reddit says, Reddit Is Always Right, as is this other repository of Reddit Wisdom, and I apologise in advance for any confusion I might inadvertently cause. This guide is in no way intended to be definitive, and is completely unofficial. Written and compiled by llamageddon01 for r/NewToReddit. The NewToReddit Encyclopaedia Redditica v2
