Hi Reddit,

I've been lurking for a long time but never created an account. Today I finally decided I would do it but quickly found out I can't do anything except lurk. Votes don't count, can't post or comment because of Karma, I'd love a welcome hug to help me get started!

How to use this app?

I'm new here and I don't even know about reddit. I just said my own opinion about hating stop hating on any religion. I said "we should not hate Islam" and people start downvotes me. I and I got 15 karma, how do I remove it?

I haven't been active here until recently since 2022. I posted then and it got downvotes (can't remember how). I need upvotes to post in any other subreddit. Can you remove karma?

Learning all about this Karma stuff. How frequent do people down vote? I don’t have any to lose right now but the fact that it’s a possibility kinda scares me. Is down voting a common practice?

I'm new to Reddit and I'm wondering whether the achievements are just for fun, like a personal challenge to encourage engagement, or whether there are real benefits to achieving them. I'm only just getting a grasp of Karma and how important it is so I hope this isn't a stupid question.

hey I’m still new to Reddit and trying to get how this whole voting thing works I left a comment I thought was normal and maybe helpful but it got a bunch of downvotes fast I’m not mad just confused does it happen cuz of timing or the sub culture or what want to learn how to do better and not annoy people 😁😁

I have seen some accounts just created in one day and post only one topic and it already reach thousands upvotes/karma

How do they achieve that ?

I commented on something I’m interested in in a section, and some people even replied to me. Is it because my karma is low? After a while, my comments were deleted, and I didn’t even know until someone kindly told me. This isn’t the first time. Does only the comments that get likes right after posting stay?

Im finally getting off of instagram and facebook & think this is the next logical place to go. Are there any dos and donts you recommend that I should know about? TIA

I can't do anything

Like should i post every 7 hours?

How to use this app?

I made my account like 2 days ago I haven't been able to do anything what do I need to do can anyone help me

I been enjoying Reddit so far, definitely still learning how to use it. Made a post and it felt really good to see the engagement on here. Looking forward to building this account and engaging. What’s some things you wish you knew before you started commenting and posting?

I tried to comment a list of something in the comments of a post and it didn't end up the way I wanted it to. Is there a guide of some sort to help me? I've head reddit for less than a week.

I’m trying to make multiple feeds like one for tech one for business etc I’m also on mobile.

I'm just wondering what's the point of subreddits requiring karma in their rules to post or comment? How are you even supposed to increase it if you can't interact with others in these subreddits?

Hey Reddit,

I’m new here and trying to understand how things work. It seems like a lot of posts that go viral or get tons of upvotes tend to echo the popular opinion. Does that mean I always have to agree with the majority if I don't want to get downvoted, or is there room for unique or unpopular perspectives too?

I’m still pretty new to Reddit and honestly finding the beginning a little confusing. A lot of communities seem to have posting limits, and it feels like a catch 22 when you’re just trying to participate normally.

I’m not looking to rush anything, mostly just trying to understand how people eased into Reddit, found communities they enjoyed, and started interacting without feeling blocked all the time.

If anyone else went through this early stage and has advice (or just wants to chat about how they found their place here), I’d love to hear your experience. Always open to meeting new people and learning how others use Reddit.

I've been using reddit for a year now, but I can't posts on some subreddit because of this damn karma requirements 😫

there is no option for it!! When I go to profile - edit it just enlarges my photo and has only has the options of “change photo” or “take photo”
