Reddit said today that its comment threads are now embeddable.
In a blog post, Reddit said the new feature makes it “easy to showcase Reddit comments on your website or blog without having to take screenshots or copy [and] paste long blocks of text. Embedded comments will respect the comment author’s edits and deletions, and they’ll always feature a link back to the original comment thread and subreddit.”

To embed a thread, go to a comment’s permalink page, Reddit said, and click on the “embed” link. That will create a snippet of code that you can use to insert the thread onto your blog or web page. Reddit said it’s also possible to optionally include a parent comment.
