This allows subreddits to define a single self-post from inside the same subreddit, which will be "stuck" to the top of the subreddit's hot page, with distinct styling. Outside of viewing the subreddit's hot page individually, the post will behave as normal. It also can only be hidden by the user manually, and will not automatically hide due to being below their score threshold, or being upvoted/downvoted with one of the user preferences that normally hides posts they vote on.
This is the primary codebase that powers reddit.com.

Quickstart
To set up your own instance of reddit to develop with, we have a handy install script for Ubuntu that will automatically install and configure most of the stack.
Alternatively, refer to our Install Guide for instructions on setting up reddit from scratch. Many frequently asked questions regarding local reddit installs are covered in our FAQ.
APIs
