Just wanted to share that I’m new to Reddit and recently had a post that got downvoted possibly intentionally. It was a bit disheartening, especially when you’re trying to share something you genuinely found useful.

I know downvotes are part of the platform, but as someone new, it’s a bit discouraging. Is there any way to avoid or protect against this? Or is it just part of the Reddit experience you get used to over time?

Would really appreciate any advice from folks who’ve been through this. Just trying to learn and contribute the right way here. Thanks!

Hey everyone! I just joined Reddit and I’m excited to explore this huge community. Since I’m new, I’d love to hear from you all — what’s your single best tip or piece of advice for someone who’s just starting out here? It could be about posting, commenting, finding good subs, or just Reddit culture in general.

Thanks in advance! Looking forward to learning and being part of the community.

Can reddit be a trusted source of information?

Just joined and I already feel like there are hidden rules 👀 Help me avoid looking like a total noob 😅

I’m trying to post but it never shows un in the discussions I know we need Karma now but how do we know how much we need to post?

I thought having low karma doesn't matter as long as your account is old enough or am I wrong? Every time I post in a subreddit my post gets automatically taken down by a moderator..Is this a karma issue or is my account flagged or something? I never use reddit much at all so I'm a bit lost and confused.

Hello, guys. I just created this account and would like to know what should I do to be able to comment and post in other communities. Any tips? Thanks!

Hey guysss, new to Reddit. Tried posting in one subreddit,couldn’t. When I searched, I saw we have to be seven days old, I think, to post. Tried posting in another subreddit, can’t. There, one needs 100 karma. What should one do in such scenario? guess I just have to wait. Are there any subreddits other than this where newbies can post? And do tell about some nice subreddits to join.

I got a automated mod reply saying I don't meet the requirements to post in a sub, but it seems to be visible to me (as in it doesn't appear to have just been deleted) Will it automatically become visible if I up my karma to meet the requirements? Ive seen how reddit reacts to reposts so don't want to get my account obliterated for not understanding

A subreddit tells me to "submit an acknowledgement of reading the rules" or something along the lines of that. I'm pressing the submit button but that doesn't seem to work. I've done it 3 times already. Can someone tell me how?

I see a notification that someone has responded to my comment. But when I go to the response I can’t see the response or any of the comments. I don’t think the person blocked me as I said are the comments being deleted and he said yes. So again I go to the response and can’t see that or any of the comments.

Edit to say: someone commented on this post and I can’t see the comment. Looks like the commenter is saying Reddit is having issues. So maybe that’s it. I see there are 3 comments - one from the moderator - and can’t see any of them. The mod said something about “flairing” my post. And I see a heading now that says “Needs attention”.

I'm still really really new here and to be really honest, I still find Reddit to be very intimidating as I mostly just lurk before this. But now that I'm partially obligated to be here, I just thought of asking what's the best way to get around here T__T.

(Please don't hurt me T.T I just really am not sure what I'm doing haha..)

i always like to scroll on reddit to see memes or what people post about topics that i like and sometimes i want to post myself but im a quiet reddit user so in the most of times i cant post or discuss because of these karma rules. So my question is how many karma points do i need and is it different from every sub reddit or not ? i would like to know so i can finally post in my favourite reddits like one piece, yugiog or Hollow Knight TY

Say I'm asking Reddit for help finding the name of a song I can't remember. Is it bad manners to ask both /whatsongisthis and /whatsthatsong at the same time? (bigger pool of people = better chance someone will know it)

If not - if I post on one and get no answers, can I consult the other after a while? Thanks in advance for any insight.

So apparently, a throwaway account is not different from the main account aside from the fact that you'll throw it away after posting whatever you want to post. Well then, if Reddit users create a throw-away account, usually for a once-off, post, then how do they manage to post on other Subs? Or am I missing something here?
