University of Virginia roommates Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian launched the site in June 2005, and Aaron Swartz joined them in November 2005. Condé Nast bought the business in October 2006. It later became an independent subsidiary of Advance Publications in 2011. Reddit debuted on the stock market under ticker symbol RDDT on March 21, 2024. The business held a market valuation of 10 billion US dollars in July 2024. Registered users post text, web links, images, and videos inside user-created boards called subreddits. Community members vote on submissions. Posts with high upvote counts rise to the top of subreddits and reach the front page.
