- Reddit’s most popular technology forum has lost a coveted position at the top of the self-proclaimed "front page of the Internet."
Earlier today, Reddit staff took away r/technology's status as a "default" subreddit—a special designation given to only 25 of the site's tens of thousands of communities. Every time a new user joins Reddit, they subscribe to these defaults automatically, which in turn allows these subreddits to direct huge amounts of traffic. Any link submitted to a default stands a chance of hitting Reddit’s front page, which saw 114 million unique visitors last month.
