The video clip in the Tweet for this post shows how in your Reddit profile you can add your Lightning Address so that anyone with any LN wallet that supports Lightning Address can tip you (or send money) to your Lightning Address.
What was interesting about this was the use of a "⚡" before the username, to identify it as being a Lightning Address (versus an e-mail address):
For example: ⚡Cointastical@Stacker.News

UPDATE
Doh ... missed seeing the title of this post until the edit window had already expired.
That was supposed to read, "Add a Lightning Address to your REDDIT profile ..."
