Even with a big debate looming on Sunday night, Hillary Clinton was doing all she could to gain more traction with younger voters, a demographic that has eluded her so far this primary season in favor of opponent Bernie Sanders.

On Sunday afternoon, Clinton took to her Reddit page to thank supporters for their help and was met with mostly positive responses.

Her short and sweet post reads, "Hello! This is my first time on Reddit — as you probably could have guessed! — but I wanted to drop in and thank you so much for everything you're doing."

A quick glance at her profile shows the username was created nine days ago.

While the Internet can be a nasty place at times, the commenters on Clinton's page were wholly supportive of Clinton's first visit.

Clinton didn't respond to any comments or answer any questions, but it's not hard to see this as a pathway to more participation online, especially if Clinton winds up earning the Democratic nomination.

In the lead up to the 2012 general election, President Obama utilized Reddit for an AMA question and answer session.
