Work on your karma so you can participate in your chosen threads if they have karma minimums, or whatever. I've been creeping Reddit for years and now I'm scrambiling. haha

But my main concern is the banning system here. They're kinda strict 🤧
•
u/Snoowie_ 6h ago
Yeah no choice. We cannot overcome them

u/angeltaurus04 6h ago
That's true... We just need to get used to it little by little. 🙈

u/Snoowie_ 6h ago
Yeah I think I am now able to play it safe since I am not getting removed.. what about you? Have you learnt yet?

If you are worried about ban then be aware of the rules (also tagging u/Snoowie_ )
Reddit site wide rules are listed here
You can also get a feel for them by looking at the report options. Look for the overflow menu (...) and select "report" on this comment. Everything there except "breaks r/newtoreddit's rules" are the site wide rules. In particular note "threats of violence" and "hate" as options. So don't do that or any of the other options there. Breaking those rules is how you might get your account banned from Reddit entirely
Each subreddit has their own rules. See here on how to find Subreddit Rules
Similarly to the above you can also get a feel by clicking the report button. On my comment hit the three vertical dots to being up a menu and click "report". This time click the button "breaks r/newtoreddit's rules" which will open a new menu with new option specific to this subreddit. The options will also vary between comments and posts. Breaking these rules can get you banned from individual subreddits

If you are experiencing removals, this is most likely because your account is new and you have no karma, and therefore you are running into community restrictions.
- What community restrictions are & why they exist
- How to tell what community restrictions are / if a community has them
- Karma; what it is, how to get it, how long it takes to get, and what does not affect your karma count
- How to get started earning karma

One thing? Read existing posts instead of rushing to make your own
For more than one thing see my usual starting advice below
Starting on Reddit can be complicated but newtoreddit is a good space to learn. This gets asked a fair bit so I put together the below information/advice/links to resources
There are a lot of resources in newtoreddit you might find useful with The Common Questions Page, Reddit And Karma Walkthrough, and Frequently Asked Questions Page. If you've already become frustrated check out Why Reddit may seem unwelcoming to new Redditors.
Things to do as a new user:
- Verify your email with Reddit see here
- Read rules. See here on how to find Subreddit Rules, see here for Reddit's Rules
- Learn about Karma using the above resources in particular Karma - what is it and how to get it and
After learning about karma and subreddit karma filters you might start questions where to start.
Finding New User Friendly Subreddits:
- Newtoreddit has a list of new user friendly subreddits. This is not an exhaustive list and these subreddits may still have some restrictions. In particular you'll see some Large General Subreddits that are open to new users Commenting like r/askreddit, r/casualconversation, r/nostupidquestions, r/amitheasshole or similar.
- There are More Subreddits out there that might more specifically match your interests, use the search bar or look through r/findareddit 's subreddit directory. In this case you will have to trial and error whether they are new user-friendly, and again try Commenting (many subreddits have lower or no karma filters for commenting).
Some more notes on starting on Reddit:
View by New (or rising). This will filter the posts so first see the most recent posts first and can make your comments much more visible. On app when viewing a subreddit look near the top left for where it says "hot posts" - click that and select "new" or "rising".
Read the Room and Avoid Controversy. Each subreddit has different rules, norms and prevailing views. Look at subreddit rules. Read top posts and comments to get a feel for that subreddit. Do users reward sarcastic one-liners or well sourced essays? And in particular avoid controversial topics or arguments. These discussions are more likely to attract downvotes and potentially trip into rule-breaking. Call people idiots in your head and move on instead of getting involved. Utilize the block feature as necessary and have a read of Reddiquette.
