How do you actually use Reddit? Is it like Facebook or totally different?

Hello evreyone

I've been hearing a lot about Reddit, but I'm still not really sure how it works in real use.
Is it similar to Facebook, where you just post and get engagement, or is it a completely different system?
How do people get traffic from Reddit with its strict rules?
Would like to hear real experiences, does it actually work, or is it just hype?
Thanks

Reddit works when you add real value first, help communities, build trust, then you’ll earn engagement, reputation, and steady traffic over time.
