Is there a thumbnail explanation about how to read and participate on Reddit?

Yes! I need that too! My 30-something year old son told me about the site during the campaign. I read but can't quite figure out how to navigate. When I've asked him to explain it to me, he laughs and says old people and technology don't mix. Lol. I got him his first computer back around 1996 and now I'm obsolete.😄

Reading is fundamental, meaning the only general guide is to find or pick up the material, and read it. www.reddit.com. On my browser, I see a "Want to join?" link in the upper right corner. The "main page" has a search function.

Reddit is "like facebook" or "like twitter" in the sense that they are sites for open war between competing factions, with certain territories being occupied by one camp or the other. It takes some time and reading experience to figure out which side occupies which spaces.

Reddit is organized by subreddits (topics, groups) and then articles, and then posts. See subreddit "thedonald" for an example.
