How to use get a keyword alert when a keyword is mentioned on reddit?

I just signed up and created a zap for whenever a keyword phrase was mentioned. 

  1. Why did I need to connect my reddit account?  zapier wouldnt need access to my reddit account to know when a keyword is mentioned on reddit by anyone, so why require it?
  2. i connected my reddit account anyway (i have since disconected it) and did a test run and it seems like it searched my own reddit account (?) to see if i ever mentioned the keyword I want to get an alert for. Which makes no sense. I want to know whenever this keyword is mentioned in post title on any post. Did it truly search only my own account for mention of a keyword?
  3. there is a field that says include subreddits…?  reddit is made entirely of subreddits. reddit.com shows an individualized feed dependent upon what I happen to sibscribe to, so yes of course I’d want it to check all subreddits.  If I say yes, do i have to specify which individual subreddits I want it to check? or does selecting yes mean it will check all subreddits?
