Step 1. Accessing Reddit
If you already have a Reddit account, skip this step and proceed directly to Step 2. Searching for a Discussion Group
If you don’t already have a Reddit account, you will need to create one. Begin by typing www.reddit.com in your browser’s address bar and clicking enter.
Once you are on the Reddit website, look at the top, right-hand corner where there is a search bar (Search Reddit) and the option to log in or register (Want to join? Login or register in seconds). Select register and proceed through the registration process. (See Figure 1a and 1b. The Reddit Login or Register Options)
Figure 1a and 1b. The Reddit Login or Register Options
Step 2. Searching for a Discussion Group
Make sure you’re logged into your Reddit account. Your name/nickname will appear in the top, right-hand corner.
If you’re not already logged in, then enter your nickname and password at the top, right-hand corner using the fields provided, then click the Login button. (See Figure 2. Logging into Reddit)

Once you have logged in, use the Search Reddit field on the top, right-hand corner (see Figure 2) to enter the type of discussion group you’re lookinog for and click enter.
For this example, we are looking for Minecraft game discussion groups using the advanced search option to narrow down by author, using GenerikB. We type in the search field: minecraft author:GenerikB. (See Figure 4a and 4b. Reddit Search Example—Minecraft Discussion Groups, by a Particular Author)

Notice the section that says “too many results? Narrow it down to a subreddit!” This is another option to allow you to narrow down even further by popular category (a.k.a, subreddit) under the topic you’ve just searched for.
Try clicking on one of the options there to see if the results are a good match for what you’re looking for.
Step 3. Subscribe to a Reddit Subreddit/Discussion
Once you have identified a discussion group, or subreddit, to subscribe to, click on the green Subscribe button on the far right hand-side.
