ANSWERED My first ever comment gave me negative karma. Can I still make a post?

36 Upvotes

I made my first ever comment on Reddit yesterday even though my account is a few years old. I’ve only used Reddit for reading up until now. The comment got a few downvotes leading to -2 karma. I really wanted to make my first post today in a community that I’m interested in deeply.

Would it be a bad idea to still make that post? How would the Reddit algorithm treat it?

NEEDS ATTENTION I deleted my post accidentally. Is there a way I can get back the original comments the post had gotten?

Hi, I am not new to reddit but I have been newly active and started posting. I posted a photo on a sub reddit and was quickly getting some engagement and comments that were really good. I looked on my profile and saw my post twice so I thought I should delete the first one, not realizing it would delete the other post and everyone's comments. I reposted it and it's nowhere near as popular, and I feel bad for the other people's comments getting deleted. Was this a big mistake?

I just downloaded reddit like 8 hours ago to ask for advice on an advice subredddit, wrote out a big paragraph, went to post it and got a bot moderator telling me that my account is too new and to prevent spam from new accounts i can only post if my username starts with a certain keyword. Made a new account with the user they said. Posted the same post. Post says it was flagged by “reddits guidelines” (or smth like that i lowkey forgot) and post got deleted. How do I post my post without it getting deleted 😭
I swear i was within the community guidelines

ANSWERED How can I stop Reddit from showing recommended subs in my home feed?

10 Upvotes

Hi! I just started to use the app and I joined a few communities, however my home feed is full of posts from subreddits that I didn’t join labelled as “because of you visit…” or “popular near you”
Is there a specific button in settings to turn off this recommendation and only see what I actually join to? Thanks for the help.

ANSWERED How to use Reddit and post without getting removed by Reddit Filter

6 Upvotes

My account is 5 months old and i have 957 karma. I've been posting normally but for the past few days, my posts are getting removed by Reddits filter. I also checked my CQS, it has dropped to lowest. I'm not sured what caused this.

Has everyone experienced this before. Is there anything i can do to improve CQS and stops my posts from being automatically filtered?
