About r/MostBeautiful
In its own words:
This sub is about finding beauty in the the world around us, from the simple and ordinary to the majestic and awe-inspiring. If you find something beautiful, share it here.
Community guide
r/MostBeautiful (#890, about 1.2 million) collects images of beauty in the world—from ordinary scenes to majestic views—rather than a general photography technique classroom.
What belongs
Photos that show something beautiful. Recent samples are lighter volume (about 2.8 posts/day). Collected rules: no reposts; credit creators/sources; no low-effort poor-quality images; max 2 submissions per user per day; label NSFW.
Versus photography and itookapicture
Photography rooms debate tools and critique craft. MostBeautiful is about sharing beauty finds under quality and credit rules—not gear threads.
Practical pointers
Credit sources; skip low-effort dumps; respect the daily submission cap.
