Reddit is one of the most popular websites. It hosts a considerable number of communities that share content on an astonishing number of topics. The Reddit block allows you to embed content from Reddit to your post. You do not need to have an account to be able to share the Reddit post. However, you can only embed publicly shared posts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The screenshot below is an example of what an embed with the Reddit block may look like (in the Twenty Twenty-Three theme): <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The example above is from an URL that contains an image. However, you can also embed posts that contain only text. In that case, your embed may look like this: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steps to embed a Reddit post<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Reddit block makes it quite simple to embed a Reddit post. These are the required steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Go to the Reddit post you want to embed.<\/strong> Please make sure it’s a public post.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"Reddit<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Copy the URL.<\/strong>
      You can find the URL at the top of the screen (marked in red in the image below) <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \"Screenshot<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Go back to your editing screen and add a Reddit block to your post.<\/strong>
        The fastest way to add a block is to use the slash command. In the empty field in the block editor type \u201c\/reddit<\/strong>\u201d. The Reddit block will appear, and you can click to select it and add it to the post. Alternatively, see the detailed instructions on how to add a block<\/a>. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Paste the Reddit URL you copied into the block\u2019s input field.<\/strong> <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \"Reddit<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Click the Embed button to embed the post.<\/strong>
            You will see a preview of the embedded post in your editor. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            \"Preview<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            Note<\/strong>: In most cases, you should get this result. However, if the URL cannot be embedded, you will be notified with the message, \u201cSorry, this content could not be embedded.\u201d In that case, you can try to embed an alternative URL or simply add the URL as a link instead of an embed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
