Does your site get a lot of posts on reddit? Increase reddit engagement, more comments, more upvotes. Users can read the reddit comments without having to leave your website.

The post widget will embed itself onto your WordPress post and detect if it has been posted to reddit. more details and examples

If it has NOT been posted to reddit it will show a link to encourage the user to submit. If it has been posted, it will load a widget displaying that reddit post giving the user where they can upvote/comment that post.

wp-redditjs will give you a chat box similar to facebook or disqus comment system.  This is excellent for websites that have their content submitted to reddit.  It will help increase reddit activity with more upvotes and comments and allow the user to freely navigate reddit.
