Like, obviously around here you don't subscribe to a subreddit, were not on reddit.

What about referring to the Original Poster as OP?

What about etiquette like marking edited posts and comments with "Edit: added words or explanations of edits made"?

Most of those things came long before Reddit and still apply to just being online in general. Only the word "subreddit" is unique to Reddit, as well as certain in-jokes ("when does the narwhal bacon?"). Really thinking about it, I'm not sure Reddit was ever really unique at all. It just has a lot of users.

And to be fair, that whole narwhal bacon thing was a weird fad of internet culture as a whole, not just on Reddit (think pre-2014 internet imo)

The narwal bacon meme itself was specifically reddit, as it was a deeply cringey joke post someone made as a shibollith to try to identify redditors in the real world.

It was the perfect mix of very awkward, very stupid, and weirdly preening that got people to "ironically" use it for a bit on reddit, which then spread wider.

Remember everyone using "le"? And the site-dominating obsession with beards that lasted for months? And the war between cat lovers and dog lovers?

It was all so inane.

Pretty sure the "le" thing came outta 4chan.

Albino Black sheep I always figured. Stemming from the line "I am le tired" from the end of the world flash video. So early 2000s likely

(Just realized if so, that would make it older than the iPhone.. damn time has gone by).
