How to embed Reddit testimonials on your website
Reddit is full of honest, unprompted praise for products and services. Here’s how to capture those organic mentions and feature them as social proof on your site.
The universal snippet
Once you’ve collected your Reddit testimonials in Vouchnest, this two-line snippet displays them on any page. Works everywhere HTML is accepted.
HTML snippet
<script src="https://cdn.vouchnest.com/widget.js" data-space-id="YOUR_SPACE_ID" async></script> <div id="vouchnest-wall"></div>
Authentic social proof
Reddit comments feel genuine because they're unsolicited. Screenshots add visual proof.
Full moderation
Import only the comments that reflect well on your brand. Approve, edit, or discard freely.
Works with other sources
Mix Reddit testimonials with Google reviews, tweets, and manual entries in one unified wall.
No code? Use the hosted wall page
Every Vouchnest space includes a hosted wall at vouchnest.com/wall/your-space-slug. Share the link anywhere — no HTML, no plugins, no setup.
Platform-by-platform instructions
Reddit embed
- 1Navigate to the Reddit post or comment you want to embed.
- 2Click the 'Share' button below the post and select 'Embed'.
- 3Reddit generates an iframe snippet — copy the HTML code provided.
- 4Paste the iframe into your website using a Custom HTML block or embed element.
- 5Note: Reddit's native embeds include the full thread styling and may not match your brand. Use Vouchnest to control the look.
Vouchnest manual import
- 1Copy the text of the Reddit comment or post you want to feature as a testimonial.
- 2Open your Vouchnest dashboard and go to the Manual Entry section.
- 3Paste the text, add the author's username, and optionally include a link to the original Reddit thread.
- 4Upload a screenshot of the Reddit comment for visual proof (recommended for authenticity).
- 5Approve the entry and it appears on your wall with the rest of your testimonials.
Screenshot + wall
- 1Take a clean screenshot of the Reddit comment or post using a browser extension or Snipping Tool.
- 2Crop the image to show only the relevant comment — include the username, subreddit, and upvotes for context.
- 3Upload the screenshot as a testimonial image in Vouchnest's manual entry.
- 4Add the text transcript below the image so it's searchable and accessible.
- 5The screenshot appears in your wall with attribution to the original Reddit user.
Reddit API integration
- 1Register a Reddit application at reddit.com/prefs/apps to get API credentials.
- 2Use the Reddit API to fetch comments from specific threads, subreddits, or users.
- 3Build a custom component that renders Reddit comments with attribution and permalinks.
- 4Handle rate limits carefully — Reddit restricts API calls to 60 requests per minute per OAuth client.
- 5For most use cases, Vouchnest's manual import is simpler and avoids API complexity.
Reddit widget
- 1Some third-party widgets and plugins can display Reddit content on your site.
- 2Search for a 'Reddit feed widget' or 'Reddit embed plugin' for your platform (WordPress, etc.).
- 3Configure the widget with the subreddit, thread URL, or user you want to pull from.
- 4Customize the appearance — most widgets offer basic color and layout options.
- 5For full control over which comments appear and how they look, import them into Vouchnest instead.
Frequently asked questions
Is it legal to embed Reddit comments?+
Yes. Reddit comments are public by default and can be embedded under Reddit's terms of service. The native embed iframe includes attribution and a link back to the original thread, which we recommend keeping.
Do I need Reddit permission?+
You don't need permission from Reddit or the comment author to embed public content, as long as you provide attribution. However, it's good practice to reach out to the user if you're highlighting their comment prominently.
Can I show Reddit upvotes?+
If you use a screenshot, the upvote count is visible naturally. Native Reddit embeds display upvotes too. In Vouchnest's manual entry, you can include the upvote count as part of the testimonial metadata.
Will it work for NSFW subreddits?+
Reddit's native embed may not render content from NSFW-marked subreddits on external sites. For these cases, take a screenshot and import it manually through Vouchnest. Avoid displaying NSFW content on business websites.
Can I filter by subreddit?+
When importing manually, you choose exactly which comments to import. If you're using the Reddit API or a widget, you can filter by specific subreddits. Vouchnest's manual approach gives you the most control.
