The Puppy Linux Subreddit in Reddit.com

#1 Post by d4rkn1ght »

I stumble to the Puppy Linux Subreddit a month ago to only find three people in it. :shock:

A month later and still four people (counting me). :( Do we have redditors in here?

The Linux subreddit doesn't have Puppy Linux in their Related subreddits. :(

Saw that a few months ago but it was shut down. I messaged the mods, they reactivated it! The Linux hive doesn't seem to give much love to Puppy, mostly hard-core slack users and ubuntu fanboys, although there is always a strong Puppy presence in all the "what distro should a noob use" threads.

I've never really been to reddit much don't really get what it should be seems like some board for posting links images, questions and such. I'll visit this more often from now on. I know there's puppylinux facebook group and twitter account maybe. Flickr group also I used to upload puppy wallpapers there at first on my account

I see... I thought people weren't aware of the subreddit. Well, I posted two articles there. Maybe if more people post it could make a difference.

I love reddit because I can find news and articles of things I'm interested in. It will be nice if more people start posting articles/news in the puppy subreddit.

I think it could be a nice promotion for puppy, just like the Opera subreddit does for Opera.

Lucid Puppy- just about ready for prime time! (self.puppylinux)

Download Lupu-499.iso

Comment from nooby.

Lupu-499 how is that one related to the Luci-246 that I tested yesterday?

Did not PlayDayz say who was it that says we could have Lupu-513 time just fly bye?

So what is Reddit?

What is reddit?

Reddit is a source for what's new and popular on the web.
Users like you provide all of the content and decide, through voting, what's good () and what's junk ().

Links that receive community approval bubble up towards #1, so the front page is constantly in motion and (hopefully) filled with fresh, interesting links.


So if all the Ubuntu guys that hate to be root vote against Puppy then our stat goes down. :)
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

It might be that the Puppy forum is enough for anyone interested in Puppy. Here's some circular logic: if one was interested in Puppy, one would likely know about this forum already, and have no real need for a subreddit. However I can see how one who was a general Linux fan would get some use out of a Puppy subreddit, maybe someone like sneaky who may not have the time to keep up with all the Puppy changes and progress that more rabid Puppy fans do. I'll cross post some stuff there, be interesting to see if it takes off.

Bumping this thread to remind people of this
Puppy users that have reddit accounts, add this subreddit to your frontpage and post some links every once in a while.

Might it be some general reddit bug at that time?
I kinda got addicted to reddit lately :roll:
