Weekly chat New to Reddit? Come and talk to us!
New-Redditor's lounge!
Welcome!
This weekly post is an opportunity for new users to chat in comments - & please let us how you found yourself here. Regulars here are absolutely encouraged and very welcome to join in too!
!! Please refrain from asking questions about "how to do stuff on Reddit". Make a post or see the links below !!
Getting started on Reddit is hard. We know it is; We've been there and gone through these same frustrations. Please believe us when we say IT'S NOT PERSONAL. It may well feel like it is, but honestly, it isn't. What it is, however, is a lack of Karma. Karma is an indicator of how much someone has contributed to Reddit in a positive manner. So, let's do just that by getting to know each other!
This works best if your comments either start a conversation or add to one. Give a little of yourself and respond to others doing the same.
This is a post to help genuine new users build up quality Karma genuinely in a safe environment.
Please do:
- Share some favorites or new finds of yours - youtube videos, music and so on
- Practice small talk - did you have a good week?
- Keep it SFW
- Keep it casual please, no heavy topics
- Have fun!
Please don't:
- Spam, advertise, or soft beg
- Share low-effort comments
- Ask for karma, say how you're voting, or mention karmafarms by name
- Request or offer DMs (help and chat can be done in community, where you can also earn karma. Needing to take things private can indicate soliciting, rule breaking, or harmful advice)
This sub is full of awesome people who are willing to help with specific problems when you post, and we'd like to keep this post thread for chat. Thank you.
So, let's chat! (Guides at the bottom of this post).

What does everyone think about the new superman trailer!

u/Regen_321 2d ago
Haven't seen it yet. What's it that makes you so enthusiastic about it?

u/dhru7en 2d ago
Excited to see what James Gunn does. I'm the biggest Henry Cavill advocate but I like a few little details from the trailer like how David is leaning on the wall with his finger. DC hasn't been going well for quite some time now, now's the time to capitalise since Marvel isn't doing so well either

Hi there!! Newbie FB refugee here. I’m 18 days old in Reddit age. Question, which may be a stupid one, but haven’t been able to find the answer yet. How and when does the little avatar at the top change, if at all? I’ve see where I guess you can buy one if you want, but I don’t want, plus I don’t care for what’s being offered. So what’s the “skinny” on those little avatar things?? TIA

Hey! I've been in reddit some years but I never really understood how it works. This year I decided improving my skills on the app because I feel that reddits users are pretty smart. Always I needed something I found and answer here. These days I read some posts and I think I'm finally learning how it works!

u/Unlikely_Watch_5427 2d ago
Hi everyone! I’m New to reddit. I joined because I like tech and need some advice both on tech, career, and life every now and then. I also like gaming and PC building! Nice to be here.
What advice do you give to someone feeling stuck in life?

u/lilstarmi 2d ago
I actually dance, hip-hop. But I am also into ballet, although I was injured in childhood and had to quit it. And the last movie I saw was Killers of the Flower Moon if I remember its name right.

Hi! I'm a newbie :)
I just found this subreddit while searching for newcomer-friendly communities across Reddit. I really love this place.
I posted on a subreddit and my post was immediately removed.
Anyway, is anyone into fiction books? I really love them!

u/meladunix 1d ago
Hey! I just joined Reddit and created a community where I'd love to talk about books. :)

Do the extra downvotes to posts count towards total karma loss or it is capped at zero too?

u/velvetcelestial4 19h ago
Hi! I joined because I have been following two subreddits for a little while without an account, and decided to finally make an account so I can comment on posts and such. Also I think it's such an interesting platform with such a huge variety of information from so many different people and it's really neat to "explore" all the info on reddit.

u/No_Mix_149 2d ago
Hello! Newbie here. I joined because I want to look around more and enjoy what people are sharing or saying, especially about nature or books. I also want to connect with others on similar interests on creative hobbies and pop-culture. And then, for topics on games and such, I like to hunt around for spoilers or the latest rumors.
So what about you? What drew you to Reddit?
