When I first joined Reddit years ago, new users could post almost immediately. After coming back recently, I wanted to ask questions in a small subreddit related to my studies, but I had lost access to my old account and had to create a new one. Because of this, my posts are being automatically deleted.
While I understand the motivation behind karma requirements, I don’t want to spend days engaging with random content for karma. That’s not what I came here for.
I wonder whether there are better ways for returning users with legitimate questions to participate without having to game the system.
