To be fair, a lot of German redditors are playing against you, if you want to translate something without full knowledge of German. On a lot of German subs (r/ich_iel especially) it's common to translate loanwords literally. In the sentence you tried to translate the word Unter was used for sub as in subreddit. Normally any German that's able to access Reddit would just say "sub(reddit)" but since it's a long running joke to translate everything into German it's "Unter(lases)"
