Subreddits should only be linked in reddit. It's very cringy to do it outside of reddit. You'll see this very often on Youtube comment sections anyway due to the upsurge of dumbass YouTubers narrating various subreddits, with their main audience being kids who have never actually been on Reddit before.

When I see people act this way I reply with "r/thisisntreddit"
Linking Subreddits outside of Reddit
Youtube comments:

Person 1: Bro the 2013 Cat in the Hat is the best movie ever, it deserves to be the highest rated film

Person 2: Bruh that film sucks

Non Redditor: r/whoosh

Person 2: Don't link subreddits outside of reddit, you didn't even spell it right.
Get the Linking subreddits outside of Reddit mug.
