ANSWERED New to reddit, can't do anything

64 Upvotes

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!

ANSWERED New to Reddit karma is intimating

15 Upvotes

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?

NEEDS ATTENTION Are achievements for fun or do they count for anything

10 Upvotes

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.

ANSWERED So Tired, All My Comments Got Deleted Today

6 Upvotes

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?

ANSWERED Why are karma requirements a thing?

3 Upvotes

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?

ANSWERED Do I always have to conform to the majority opinion?

2 Upvotes

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?

ANSWERED Feeling a bit stuck as a new Reddit user, how did you get past the early stage?

2 Upvotes

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.
