What today's Reddit Hot posts reveal
Most of the public 10 is still meme-and-personal. The two dated hooks are Hobbit Day at 3 (calendar, September 22) and Mamdani's $131.5 million DoorDash print at 10 (city hall, September 22).
Yesterday's White House pool-coverage row is gone. The Reddit Hot Posts API snapshot at 2026-09-23T08:01:40.298933 turned over a full 10, which is the usual Hot churn rather than a single-story pileup.
