According to an announcement on Reddit, Reddit has officially partnered with Ethereum.
"Through this partnership, we will be increasing our commitment to blockchain, accelerating scaling and resources for the Ethereum ecosystem, and bringing the value and independence of blockchain technology to millions of redditors."

Immediately they are starting with a Scaling Back-Off with the goal:
Do you believe your Ethereum scaling technology can handle Reddit's scale? It's time to let the Ethereum community hear about it. Send your demo by July 31, 2020.
Shame they didn't just join Hive, we already have the technology.
Reddit has already shown interest and previously done integrations with Ethereum in the past so this is no surprise, but it does make me bullish af.
"Our blockchain efforts will be led by Reddit's Crypto team (hi!). We are currently hiring great backend engineers who want to build the decentralized Internet. If you’re interested in solving tough problems like scaling and bringing blockchain to millions of users, send me a PM or apply directly on Reddit’s careers page -- we’d love to talk to you!"

Reddit has their own Crypto team which is working directly with the Ethereum Foundation.
"We’re excited to have an ongoing relationship with Reddit and more collaboration as we work together to improve Ethereum for the entire ecosystem. We continue to be impressed with Reddit’s vision, and by how it maintains its culture and philosophies, which were key in forming this relationship. I’m looking forward to seeing how this evolves, and how it can benefit both Ethereum and the Reddit community."
