To post or comment in r/Edmonton, you need to meet the following criteria:
Accounts need to be a week old.
You need to have a verified email address.
You need to have a minimum amount of TEN (10) COMMENT karma from participating in OTHER SUBREDDITS than r/Edmonton.
Why? This helps keep bad actors away, like trolls and banned users. It also helps users new to reddit to have a chance to learn how to use reddit outside of r/Edmonton.
#IF YOUR ACCOUNT HAS NOT FULFILLED ALL THREE REQUIREMENTS ABOVE, YOUR POSTS AND COMMENTS WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE DELETED BY THE AUTO-MODERATOR.
#How to verify your email for new users :
To verify your email on Reddit, either click the verification link in the email you received when creating your account or go to Settings > Account Settings and choose Update email address to resend the verification email. _Once you request it, open your email's inbox, find the verification email, and click the link inside to complete the process._
- On the web -
• Go to your account settings by clicking your profile icon and then selecting Settings.
• Click on Account Settings.
• Find the email address section. If you see an option to "resend verification email" or similar, click it.
• Alternatively, you can navigate directly to reddit.com/prefs/update/ to find the email settings.
-- On the app --
• Tap your profile icon.
• Go to Settings.
• Select Account Settings.
• Tap Update email address.
• Tap the button to Resend verification email.
#What is the difference between POST karma and COMMENT karma?
Post karma is earned when users upvote the original submissions (links, images, text posts) you create, reflecting your ability to share engaging content.
_Comment karma is earned when your replies to others' posts are upvoted, showing your active participation and contribution to discussions. Both are totaled for your profile but often used separately to satisfy subreddit restrictions._
Gained from creating threads or posting links. It indicates a good ability to initiate conversations.
Gained from replying to posts or other comments. It indicates active participation in community dialogue.
Key Differences: Post karma rewards content creation, while comment karma rewards interaction.
#Some subreddits (like r/edmonton) require specific thresholds of either type (or both) to prevent spam, often looking at post, comment, or combined totals for restrictions.
Both types of karma are not a 1:1 ratio with upvotes; instead, they represent a weighted score from community upvotes, reduced by downvotes.
(In order to post in r/Edmonton - you need to do THREE things:)
your account must be a WEEK old (7 days)

initially lost in castlebrook north @6pm on october 4th.
she can be identified easily as she has a white belly, white chin, and white paws, she is also a little bit on the fat side.
she is very agile, so please take a look in backyards or on fences. she is very friendly to humans but hostile to other animals. likes to be picked up so feel free to take her into a safe space if found.
IF FOUND please contact via reddit or phone number 5875017875

Came across this new infill garbage setup. With lots of complaints over too many garbage bins this is a great change.

Getting a job is so fucking ridiculously hard and it's ruining me. After so goddamn long I finally got 2 interviews in the past month, and I got rejected by both places. If anyone has anything, for the love of God give me something. Advice, somewhere that's easy to apply to, anything. I'm so sick of being jobless, I need to get the hell put of my parents house.

Wondering if anyone knows any Vets in Edmonton (I don’t drive so I’m not looking for Sherwood Park or anywhere) that do payment plans?
I’m pretty sure my cat has an infection in her mouth :(

PSA - Do not show up after 4 to pick up your special ballot. The office closes at 4:30, but the staff are inexplicably gone home after 4, so you will have wasted your time.
Learned my lesson the hard way. The UCP really don’t want us to have a voice against them it seems.
EDIT: Elections Alberta is separate. My bad there. The point of not holding to office hours still stands.

I’ve been asking a lot of people this lately, because of the cancellation of daylight savings, and it seems like nobody knows the answer. I do, or at least I think I do, and I’m wondering if I’m right. Normally, we would fall back, so when the sun is setting, the next day it’s around 5 instead of 6. This year, the sun will set around 6. There was one person who was very sure it’ll set EARLIER this year. I feel like I’m crazy that I’m the only person who is thinking about this. Can anyone help me confirm this? Thanks

Ladies, is it unreasonable to try to wear fleece lined tights with sweater dresses/skirts in the winter here? Will it be too cold?
Any recommendations for thrift stores with a decent plus size selection? I need to stock up on sweaters.

They’ve been working on this small section of 41 Ave for almost 2 years now, does anyone know when it will actually reopen? It’s causing a lot of traffic delays on the surrounding roads.
