Great! Reddit search sucks. site:reddit.com ftw. Will you be adding a search feature? Even just a simple auto-complete with all the tags you have would be great!

I was planning on adding the search, but held it off before i could validate the need for it. I'm glad you liked it

This is great and I wish this mentality was pushed earlier on reddit.

There was a golden era of reddit right before the great Digg migration. Excellent comments, diverse opinions, and really great back and forth being shared of individual's experiences in almost every single subreddit.

Today, it's definitely harder to find good commentary and exchange. It's also super heavily astroturfed by political groups in all the subreddits (on both sides) to try to influence the general groupthink narrative/consensus. It's so disgustingly obvious but doesn't seem to be an issue for the team.

Maybe I am just getting old. I guess what I'm try to say is nothing will beat simply Google searching a topic and typing "reddit" afterwards to query some super insightful and awesome 5+ year old forum post on whatever the content is.

I agree. Google Search is much much better. I personally built the list using this way along with other list already created.

My idea is to create a catalogue of a lot of subreddits for people to navigate well

I love how you laid this out. It's very nicely done.

I think if there was also a way to show and filter by comment activity/frequency/subscribers too (or some other creative metric) beyond the subreddit title it would go miles.
