A short, curated guide — not an automatic related dump. Figures come from SubMouse's safe-for-work directory when we have them.
r/aww (about 37.9M members, directory rank #8) is for things that make you go aww — puppies, bunnies, babies and more. Animal derp clips and dog-specific cute rooms are clearer when that is the point.
Unrelated directory names are omitted.
Stay on aww for general cute shares. Use AnimalsBeingDerps for animals being silly, rarepuppers for cute animal photo culture, and dogpictures for dog photos specifically.
