Its user base saw a 47% year-on-year increase, overtaking X (formerly Twitter) and LinkedIn to secure its position as the fifth largest platform. This growth was particularly pronounced among younger adults, with 71% of 18-24s and 63% of 25-34s utilizing Reddit, an increase from 58% and 49% respectively in the previous year.
