Reddit now lets you embed posts on your site
Reddit is one of the largest online communities, and some of the most important conversations happen on the site -- be it in the form of popular AMA (ask me anything) interviews or detailed, social-driven coverage of breaking news events.
In March 2015, Reddit introduced an option to embed parts of those conversations on other sites. But you could only embed comments and not Reddit posts -- until now.
