Moderators
Links have to be approved by
moderators


Density
Only a couple of links fit on the
front page


Speed
About one new link per hour
Lots o links
No moderators, so there are
many more links in the system


Density
Minimal layout allowed for a
high density of content


Boring!
People bookmark boring things


Tool
Del.icio.us is a tool, not a
community.
User-powered
Links are submitted by the
community. Links are voted on
by the community.


Dynamic
Content rises and falls. Good
content rises fast and falls
slow.


Dense
The more links we put on the
front page, the more likely we
were to please you.
Just the facts
Only username and password.
No name, no email.


Few
restrictions
Usernames need 3 letters.
Passwords need 3 letters.


No email
No address means no
confirmation. Users are
interacting faster.
The minimum
Just the URL and title.


No categories
What categories would we even
have? Hard to get right; might
as well not try.


Dupes!
Are duplicates really a problem?


No restrictions
Anyone can submit, anything
can become popular.
Personality
Comments allowed reddit’s
personality to shine.


Sorting
Sorting comments by hotness
gave them the same dynamic
feel as our front page. Best is
better.


Shush!
Comments with negative scores
are hidden.
Growth
Now we have something for
everyone.


Small feeling
Many small communities allows
the site to still feel small.


Magical
Subreddits gave the users even
more power to do incredible
things.
Pillars of Reddit
The community should always
feel small
Let the users do the hard part
Never remove content, no matter
how hard
When in doubt, figure it out later
Personality is critical

Reddit wouldn’t work...


                     All the things!
                     Everyone would vote everything
                     up. Why not?


                     Vocal minority
                     We worried that you’d have a
                     core set of users driving all the
                     content.


                     Too complex
                     - Need to create an account to
                     agree
                     - More functionality than
                     needed

Two ways to influence
your community
- From inside the community (social norms)

Be thoughtful w/
design...
- What do you want your community to
accomplish?
- How big will this community be?
- How inclusive should it be?
- How often will members be visiting?
- Where do you need speed bumps or “toddler-
sized barriers”

  • 36. Moderators Links have to be approved by moderators Density Only a couple of links fit on the front page Speed About one new link per hour
  • 37.
  • 38. Lots o links No moderators, so there are many more links in the system Density Minimal layout allowed for a high density of content Boring! People bookmark boring things Tool Del.icio.us is a tool, not a community.
  • 39.
  • 40. User-powered Links are submitted by the community. Links are voted on by the community. Dynamic Content rises and falls. Good content rises fast and falls slow. Dense The more links we put on the front page, the more likely we were to please you.
  • 41.
  • 42. Just the facts Only username and password. No name, no email. Few restrictions Usernames need 3 letters. Passwords need 3 letters. No email No address means no confirmation. Users are interacting faster.
  • 43.
  • 44. The minimum Just the URL and title. No categories What categories would we even have? Hard to get right; might as well not try. Dupes! Are duplicates really a problem? No restrictions Anyone can submit, anything can become popular.
  • 45.
  • 46. Personality Comments allowed reddit’s personality to shine. Sorting Sorting comments by hotness gave them the same dynamic feel as our front page. Best is better. Shush! Comments with negative scores are hidden.
  • 47. Growth Now we have something for everyone. Small feeling Many small communities allows the site to still feel small. Magical Subreddits gave the users even more power to do incredible things.
  • 48. Pillars of Reddit The community should always feel small Let the users do the hard part Never remove content, no matter how hard When in doubt, figure it out later Personality is critical

  • 52. Forums didn’t work... Noisy - Discussion != Actionable items - Replies != Agreement. - What are the top items? - Lots of off topic comments. Exclusionary - High barrier of entry to +1 Can’t follow up - Users have to read all comments - No easy way to message all interested parties Tweet questions to @rrwhite
  • 53. Reddit wouldn’t work... All the things! Everyone would vote everything up. Why not? Vocal minority We worried that you’d have a core set of users driving all the content. Too complex - Need to create an account to agree - More functionality than needed Tweet questions to @rrwhite
