Who Created The Nonexistent City On Reddit?
u/Devuluh was the one to come up with the idea of /r/HaveWeMet subreddit. u/Devuluh, who's been a dedicated Reddit user for a long time, often wondered what would happen to Reddit if there was a community in which participants pretended to know each other. “I asked on /r/findareddit if such a community existed, and after finding out it didn’t, I created it,” the Verge reports.
Ironically, the people u/Devuluh asked for advice, became the first contributors to the subreddit. Soon after the subreddit started, it became one of the most popular Reddit threads. As for now, there are 83,000 members pretending to be the Lower Duck Pond residents.
