Overview

Reddit Hot Filter - Discover the Most Engaging Reddit Posts

Tired of scrolling through Reddit posts with little engagement? Reddit Hot Filter helps you focus on what matters - posts with active discussions and real community engagement.

What It Does

Reddit Hot Filter automatically identifies and collects Reddit posts that meet your engagement threshold (minimum comment count). As you browse Reddit, the extension works silently in the background, gathering the
hottest posts with the most active discussions into a convenient side panel.

Key Features

✓ Smart Filtering - Set your minimum comment threshold (default: 50 comments) to filter out low-engagement posts
✓ Side Panel View - Access all collected hot posts in Chrome's native side panel without leaving your current page
✓ Floating Button - Quick access button that follows you as you browse (can be toggled on/off)
✓ Skip Pinned Posts - Option to exclude stickied/pinned posts from your collection
✓ Live Counter - See how many hot posts you've collected in real-time
✓ Dual Reddit Support - Works seamlessly on both reddit.com and old.reddit.com
✓ Persistent Collection - Hot posts accumulate as you browse, creating a curated feed of engaging content
✓ Adaptive Theme - Automatically matches your system's light or dark mode preference
