{/* MANUAL-CONTENT-START:intro */}
[Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/) is a social platform where users share and discuss content in topic-based communities called subreddits.

In Sim, you can use the Reddit integration to:

- **Get Posts**: Retrieve posts from any subreddit, with options to sort (Hot, New, Top, Rising) and filter Top posts by time (Day, Week, Month, Year, All Time).
- **Get Comments**: Fetch comments from a specific post, with options to sort and set the number of comments.

These operations let your agents access and analyze Reddit content as part of your automated workflows.
