Shared Counts includes buttons for the most popular social sharing platforms, and you can use the built-in filters to add support for additional services.
The code below adds a Reddit share button. Note that this will not increase the total share count when shared on reddit. This only adds a sharing button. Here’s some information on retrieving share count data from Reddit.
This code snippet goes in a core functionality plugin or Code Snippets.
