Bangs don't actually search w/ Duckduckgo, they just redirect your search to whatever search provided is configured for that bang. In this case, it just goes to reddit.com and uses its search function. They're really handy when you definitely want results from a given service and don't want to type out "site:service.com" or whatever.

It gets crazy when you use a redirection extension like libredirect. If you tell libredirect to redirect to a redlib instance, the !r or !reddit bang will try to send your query directly to reddit, and then instead you're presented with the search results on a no JavaScript frontend. This is what I do, a lot less clutter than reddit's site.
