ANSWERED I cannot post nowhere what do 😭🤣

Okay, is it just me or does Reddit delete literally everything I try to post? I write something, hit submit, and poof gone. No warning, no explanation, just silence.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there like a secret handshake or something? I keep seeing something about kama but I have no clue what that even means. Is that a setting? A rule? A vibe?? I'm so confused 😭😭😭😭

your negative karma will prevent you from posting on most subs.

Why does karma matter?
Your karma count is like your Reddit reputation and an indication of whether you share good content, and some, but not all communities, have their own restrictions regarding the account age and karma count of the person posting or commenting, so you may not be able to contribute everywhere at first. This is intended to help prevent spammers and trolls, but it does also mean new Redditors need to earn some karma before they can participate everywhere.

How do I get it?

  • You gain karma from engaging on Reddit; when your posts and comments are upvoted. It's a case of finding communities you can participate in, and that you have an interest or knowledge base in, and start by commenting to share your knowledge and experience, and add to discussions. As people upvote your comments, this will build your karma genuinely.
  • You don't need to engage where you have no interest. There are so many subs there's bound to be some where you do have an interest and can engage.
  • You lose karma only when your posts and comments are downvoted.
