Best Pictures & Video Subreddits
Visual content is what much of Reddit runs on, and this category splits into a few clear groups. The giant general feeds, r/pics, r/videos and r/gifs, take almost anything that is worth a look.
Next come the makers: photographers sharing and critiquing their own shots, and Photoshop communities that edit images for fun or on request. Then there are curated subs built around one subject, such as maps, interiors, craft videos or perfectly timed photos.
Finally, some subs are simply useful, like wallpaper collections. These 15 cover each group.
