From Geohashing

Reddit is a site that hosts forums (or sort of a hybrid of link aggregator and forum) called subreddits, or subs for short. While discussing geohashing may be more or less on-topic for various of them (for example regions spanning multiple graticules or cities within a graticule may have subs), only one is dedicated to it: /r/geohashing, here called simply 'the subreddit'. Some notes: 'self' posts are text-only instead of a link (though that text may itself include links), comments by [deleted] are not included in Reddit's comment counts for a post but are here, by default posts have one vote (from the submitter), the number of votes may appear different due to smoke and mirrors in Reddit's algorithm (not to be confused with the Algorithm), and posts cannot be commented on or voted on after six months.
