# Reddit

> Ground replies in real-people Reddit threads — opinions, anecdotes, troubleshooting.

Toggle **Reddit** in `@` and your next prompt pulls answers from live Reddit threads. Best when you want the *lived* answer, not the marketing-page answer.

<Note>
  **Screenshot coming.** Reddit source on, threads cited in reply.
</Note>

## When to use it

* **Troubleshooting.** Real users hitting the same bug.
* **Buying advice.** What people who actually own the thing think.
* **Niche communities.** r/MachineLearning, r/cscareerquestions, r/dataengineering — wherever your question lives.

## Good for

* *"Is the new MacBook keyboard actually quieter? — Reddit"*
* *"Best Postgres hosting for a side project — Reddit"*
* *"How do people use Cursor with a Vim setup — Reddit"*

## How it shows up

Citations under the reply link straight to the thread. Comment counts and upvote signal give you a sense of consensus vs hot take.

## Tips

* **Stack with Web.** Reddit for lived experience, Web for product specs.
* **Ask for tradeoffs explicitly.** *"What do Reddit users hate about X?"* surfaces critical takes faster than *"Is X good?"*.

## Limits

* Reddit-only answers can skew loud-opinion. Cross-check with Web for important decisions.
* We surface top threads, not exhaustive coverage of every relevant subreddit.
