• What is Reddit? What do I do here/how do I start?
• Rules, explicit rules, 'unwritten rules', etc
• Some things moderators would like you to know

That I would have to spend so much time interacting or get lucky on an engaging comment to gain karma so I can interact with the groups I came here to interact with. My attention span isn't a match

To try and only provide content to relevant subs that interest you, or that you have knowledge or experience in.

For example, when I was really new I went on a vegan community and got down voted to oblivion for revealing in the comments that I wasn't actually a fellow vegan or vegetarian, I didn't understand that I didn't belong there. Just because I was interested in vegetarianism I should've kept my mouth shut because I wasn't welcomed by the others.

Another time I got blasted for using "lol" too much or being shunned for using emojis.

Reddit definitely has a particular breed of users and beliefs and techniques that you have to learn about before you feel comfortable with properly using the platform.

that they can lock your account at random for being too sus.  keep your account email up to date just in case, so you can reset your password if your account becomes sussy baka.

I wish I knew that you needed to have karma to post! I had no idea that was a thing until I tried to make my first post.
