  News are displayed as a simple list of titles without description. Lots of comments. Subreddits allow to build your own digg-like with selected types of infos otherwise you may get a photo of the cat of each redditor around, plus lot of stupid reasonings about religion.
  You can select subreddits with a list of + followed by names of subfolders you want, ex:
