Reddit is growing ever popular and there's no shortage of celebrities or well-known people hanging out on Reddit or, more likely, doing AMAs (ask me anything). But it's a testament to just how big Reddit has become when US president Barack Obama decides to do an AMA.

As you can imagine, the move sparked quite a lot of interest. So much so, in fact, that it broke the site, but he was able to answer several questions during the 30-minute AMA.

If you're familiar with Reddit, you'll be able to navigate your way through the comments and follow the conversation. If you're just looking for the questions that got answered, one good-hearted redditor compiled all of them in a single comment.

There's some interesting stuff in there, but most of it is on point and serious. Still, the move proved very successful, Twitter went crazy over it, everyone from The New York Times to small blogs wrote about it and Obama once again seems "down" with the young crowd.
