Related Subreddit of the week – new in your sidebar

<a href="

In an effort to keep the sidebar short and clean, we’ve kept the number of links down to a minimum. Last time we changed the sidebar to a table with quite a few links to other subreddits, readers didn’t like it, and so we’ve kept it short ever since.

We’ve had quite a few other subreddits ask for a link in the sidebar, but we’ve rejected those requests. Now we’ve thought of a way to keep the sidebar clean, but also highlight related subreddits that may be new to some readers. An example is in the sidebar currently.

I was planning to start with a list of subreddits like this (in no particular order): economic history, investing, accounting, tax, business, finance, conspiracy, non-austrian economics, quantitative finance, academic economics, political economics, economy, hard economics, econ, economics 2, personal finance, libertarian, frugal, politics, greed, corruption, collapse.

What do you think of the idea, and what other related subreddits would you like to see highlighted?
