Building online communities that thrive

Reddit is a network of communities where individuals can find experiences built around their interests, hobbies, and passions. As of 2019, its popularity has surged to 330 million monthly active users, discussing everything from r/skincareaddiction, r/streetwear, r/science, and r/documentaries. In his session, Chris Slowe, CTO and Founding Engineer of Reddit, will bring attendees behind the curtain to see the technology that makes these communities possible. He will explore three key pillars: helping people discover and join communities, empowering community moderation, and providing a performative and efficient infrastructure.
