What are Reddit and Subreddit?
As a social media user, you must have noticed Reddit. Reddit is a leading social media channel that has acquired the front page of Internet status. It shows that this website is one of the most visited social media sites since its creation in 2005.
Reddit is the number one content rating, discussion, and social news channel globally. You can create your Reddit account to publish any topic, videos, images, links, or polls to get upvotes or downvotes. Also, you have the choice to join various Reddit communities such as sports, movies, news, help, food, beauty, technology, literature, comics, games, and like that.
The multiple sub-categories of Reddit are known as Subreddits or Communities. The subreddits contain topics like politics, news, religion, science, music, video games, pets, fitness, sports, books, etc. You can easily create a subreddit on your Reddit account.
However, the trouble that arises after creating subreddits/communities is its removal. Presently, there are no means for how to delete a Subreddit. Once you form a subreddit, you cannot remove it. It emerges as an unchangeable feature on your Reddit account. Even the moderators/members or actual creators cannot delete or omit the created Subreddit.
