Why Reddit

Largest pool of unfiltered user discourse on the open web. Subreddit communities self-organize around topics, so signal density is high when you scope queries to the right subreddit.

Lookup approach (stub)

• Subreddit-scoped Google search: site:reddit.com/r/<subreddit> "<term>"
• Reddit native search as fallback
• Prefer threads with high comment counts over high upvotes (discussion > endorsement)
• Sort comments by "top" within thread

Subreddit hints (stub — extend)

• Self-hosting / infra: r/selfhosted, r/homelab, r/sysadmin
• Dev tools: r/programming, r/webdev, language-specific subs
• Consumer: r/BuyItForLife, product-specific subs
