When did Reddit launch?

Reddit launched on February 1, 2006. The platform was created by Steve Huffman and Aaron Swartz as a place for users to share links and discuss them in communities known as subreddits. Its simple design and user-driven content quickly made it a popular hub for online discussions. Reddit's early success was partly due to its open structure, allowing anyone to create a subreddit on any topic. This flexibility helped the site grow rapidly and remain relevant through changing internet trends.
