Here, 如 can be roughly translated into "like".  
However, even as a Chinese, I fail to analyze the sentence grammatically...

The sentence can be roughly (or not-so-roughly) translated into:

Technically speaking, the sentence

> 如通常在论坛比较普遍的部分网络用语

isn't grammatically correct, there is no verb in it. With amendments, "如通常在论坛比较**常见**的部分网络用语" or "如通常在论坛比较普遍**出现**的部分网络用语" would be better.

The character 如 in this sentence should not be considered as "if" but "such as".

"Such as the internet phrases which are commonly used in reddit."

After explaining and reasoning the phrase “网络用语”, the author provided several examples of it that are commonly used on the (online) forums by saying:

"**如**通常在论坛比较普遍的部分网络用语：" - "**Lik** part of the more common and widespread 网络用语 on forums:"

This sentence seems out of the hand of a professional technician rather than a proficient literacy writer, so it is such 生澀難唸.

By the way, another word for **如** is **就像**.

如這些常用語: (examples)... = 就像這些常用語: (examples)...
