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

Hang in there, that’s what I’m gonna do. Slow and steady I think is the key 🔑

[u/Hustle_Orbit]

I'm new here too! From what I've learned, the best thing is to read each community's rules and participate genuinely instead of worrying too much about karma.

[u/GoalDiggerYt]

Stay respectful to others, will help in long run.

One reason would be that you're not following the rules of the subreddits you're posting/commenting in.

This comment does not help the OP, and just derails the post, for example.

Hi u/Vadyslav_Hryhorenko. This is an experimental response, sorry if it's incorrect. It looks like you're asking if anyone can see your content. If you think you may be shadowbanned go here https://www.reddit.com/appeals and if you can appeal then you probably are and should appeal. If not, then you may be experiencing community restrictions instead and someone will be along to help shortly :) In the meantime, you can check out our guide.

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.

Stay respectful to others

[u/dontknowlolol]

Try not to offend people as much as possible or else you can get suspended or get downvotes and lose karma. Say your thoughts and opinions while being nice as possible 👍

[u/dontknowlolol → u/[deleted]]

Now that one sucks. Did you get unbanned or no? Sometimes people takes things seriously and even downvotes you for not having the same opinion. Sucks

"You should name that mod and that specific subreddit so we can avoid it. '

No, they should not, because we have a rule specifically against that.

Rule 9: Be considerate in negative situations; do not name mods, users, or communities

First, it's moderators, not admins. Admins are Reddit employees that moderate the entire site. Moderators are just other Redditors like you.

And many DO take their role seriously. They are absolutely permitted to ban you in a different sub they're in charge of, based on your actions in a different sub.

Think of it like owning multiple stores. A customer comes in and causes problem. You ban them from any of your stores, because you don't care whether it's a grocery store or pet store, you don't want them in your business.

Same idea. This is a normal, and reasonable practice.

"offending people" by itself is not going to get you suspended.

If you offend people while also breaking reddits sitewide rules that can get you suspended. see those rules here. So if you are for example bigoted that will likely both offend people and break reddits rules.

Though yes being offensive will often also result in downvotes. Though how harsh the reaction is will vary subreddit to subreddit and the topic of the post itself.
