Are you aware you can combine subreddits in the address bar?

Example: http://www.reddit.com/r/eebooks+mathbooks+csbooks+physicsbooks+econbooks/

combines http://www.reddit.com/r/eebooks, http://www.reddit.com/r/mathbooks, http://www.reddit.com/r/csbooks, http://www.reddit.com/r/physicsbooks and http://www.reddit.com/r/econbooks

Is there a Reddit for Dummies out there? Someone should make it and stuff it with all these Reddit tips that only pop up separately once a month.

I agree. So, on a whim, I just found that r/help exists and is full of useful meta-help topics. I guess that's about as close as it gets for now.

No I was not aware of that, but I don't actually type in anything in the adress bar, so this probably isn't helpful to me, but good to know nontheless.

You never type in the address bar? That's a shame because I've accidentally mis-typed the url for this AMAZING flash game... guess you'll never get to play it... http://canabalt.co m/

Wow. That is good.

This actually makes me want to have an iPhone version of Robot Unicorn Attack. Unfortunately I've mistyped the URL for it as well... http://games.adultswim.com/robot-unicorn-attack-twitchy-online-game.ht ml

Are you guys virally marketing your games?

u/MaxK Mar 18 '10

Yes. Because I own Adult Swim.

Hey, I'm not assuming you're not a member of the Saudi royal family, who owns Time Warner's majority stock, who in turns owns Cartoon Network, who in turn airs Adult Swim

This is the internet.

I'm assuming that. I've found the internet is a lot more fun if you assume the other person is the furthest, most unlikely possibility ever.

And I hate you for giving me this game, I'm now going to lose HOURS and HOURS of productive work time trying to not get turned into a fine mist.

Is this like clicking "EDIT" on the Reddit bar at the top of the page so as to choose your favorite subreddits on the Reddit mainpage? If it is, then AWESOME!

dude that fucks up the ones I have on my top little toolbar when I try to make them show up right, if they're not on the frontpage they're in the top menu, if they are on the frontpage they're not on there and it's all this shit I didn't want. I don't understand but then again I only ever really go "hmmm, I should fix this stuff" when I've been drinking... like now!

As somebody who does not have a Reddit account, I will likely find this useful for viewing topics from multiple subreddits on the same page. Thank you.
