Not quite sure if this belongs in the news threads but, I made a DF Goblin Reddit! Feel free to join here: https://www.reddit.com/r/dfgoblin/ and send me a message in the forum if you believe you should be a moderator!

Reddit is more link-centric content, rather than rolling thread-centric. It's also organized into "subreddits" that are individual forums that sequester themes about just about anything in the world. So each thread usually starts with a link or image or sometimes a text post, and then the comments can discuss, answer the question, etc., and these posts are on-topic to whatever the subreddit is. You may also have posts that can cross-over to other subreddits, e.g. if someone posts a picture of their Goblin on the sub Jackets64 started, you might also want to post it to car photo websites, the /r/kitcar sub, etc.
It's fairly short-term, so you don't get much discussion on something after a day or two on the fastest moving subreddits. Also, the upvote system is meant to work with the site's algorithm so that content that gets more upvotes moves up to be seen first, and downvoted stuff gets moved out of sight. Votes aren't really "likes", more to promote discussion of popular topics that the community agrees is worth it by moving them to be more visible.

The traditional forum layout like this one is definitely much better for sharing information, especially about building the cars. I think where that subreddit would be nice is to post pictures/videos, and capture new fans of the Goblins.

I feel the same.
I like what the DFK forums offer, one location to research all my questions, I don’t care to have to search multiple locations for info on build questions.
