If you’ve checked out someone’s profile on Reddit, you’ve probably seen that they have a collection of achievements and trophies on the right side of the screen. Some are cooler than others, so let’s go over a few that are sure to impress fellow Redditors.
1Well-Rounded
The well-rounded trophy has a fun little graphic of Reddit mascot Snoo in a blue outline reminiscent of the golden ratio. It’s rather complicated to get, but it’s not impossible. AsReddit user Greenthund3rexplains, you have to make at least three posts and three comments within 24 hours. Reddit determines your score by taking either post or comment karma, whichever is lower, and if you have the most karma for the day, you’re awarded the trophy.
2ComboLinker & ComboCommenter
To getComboLinker, you have to submit “lots of good links” in a row. You need to submit multiple links and receive several thousand upvotes. Details are scarce, but the links probably have to be submitted within a day, asComboCommenterrequires two or more comments in a row with a lot of upvotes.
3Inciteful Link & Inciteful Comment
These trophies feature a clever play on the word “insightful.” They’re similar to ComboLinker and ComboCommenter, the main difference being that your post or comment also has to receive lots of downvotes. In other words, you have to write something provoking, and the algorithm might reward you with a trophy. Interestingly, to get an Inciteful Link, you don’t necessarily have to post an external link, as user Rema5000 got the trophy for apost without any links.
4Heart of the Community
The Heart of the Community trophy is one of the cutest, as it features an adorable graphic of an excited Snoo holding a heart. You have to be a subreddit mod (moderator) to be eligible. Next, you have to host acommunity event or projectand apply for afund applicationtoCommunityFunds. If you get accepted and the project is successful, you might be handed the Heart of the Community trophy, along with those who helped you host it.
5Corps Member
The Corps Member is another mod-exclusive trophy. It features a yellow safety helmet with a green shield icon that represents mods. To get the trophy, you have to beoffered a paid contractto work on Reddit. According to user Femilip, Reddit reached out directly and offered a contract.
6Adopted-an-Admin & Adopted-Admin
Adopt-an-Admin is a trophy that’s only awarded to Reddit mods and Adopted-Admin to Reddit admins as part of theAdopt-an-Adminprogram. The program pairs Reddit admins and moderators so that they can better understand various subreddit communities. Getting Adopted-an-Admin is significantly less challenging, as you only have to be a moderator of an eligible subreddit to have a chance at getting the trophy.
7Open Sorcerer
Are you acoding wizard? If the answer is yes, you can get this cute little trophy bycontributing code to Reddit. The trophy is given out manually, so it sometimes takes years before appearing on your account if your code ends up getting used. The coolest part about the Open Sorcerer trophy is that it also displays what you got the trophy for below it, and users can click on the trophy tosee your code on GitHub.
8White Hat
White Hat is similar to Open Sorcerer, as both are related to coding. To earn this one, you need to find and report a problem with Reddit’s code as part ofReddit’s Bug Bounty Program. This is a direct reference to “white hat hacking,” a term that describes an ethical type of hacking where individuals find and report issues to the platform administrators.
9Alienator
Alienator is among the most difficult Reddit trophies that you can still get, at least according toReddit’s ongoing trophies list. The last user who got it was Poyoarya, and this was roughly 9–10 years ago, as the user hasn’t been active since 2015.To get Alienator, you have to design a version of Reddit’s logo that’ll end up on the front page. I’m sure that the next person to get Alienator will also earn loads ofReddit Gold.
10Basement Dweller
In addition to trophies, Reddit has a bunch of achievements that are easier and more predictable to unlock. And what better way to kick off the list than with the one with the funniest name: Basement Dweller. To get it, you must vote, post, comment, or for 500 days. It’s part of the Reddit Streak category that rewards activity. At the time of writing, nobody has this achievement, as it hasn’t been 500 days since the category launched.
