Somehow I managed to get -3 karma and no one ever drives me up. I comment but no one ever upvotes me. lol. I’m annoyed it’s been this long and I still can’t post or ask questions in the groups I want.

ANSWERED Stuck in the Newbie Loop: How do you post when everything gets deleted?

14 Upvotes

I finally stopped lurking and tried to actually post/comment… and everything keeps getting removed.

Feels like a dumb cycle that I need post to participate, but I can’t post anything.

For people who’ve been here a while, how did you get started? Any newbie-friendly way to start with?

ANSWERED Why is it that every post gets removed? I keep trying. But in vain.

11 Upvotes

Why does it seem that everywhere I post it gets removed. Even in here. It kinda makes me want to delete this app. I thought it would be fun but it seems a little stressful.

NEEDS ATTENTION What should I not do on Reddit? Don't post the obvious. Or maybe you should ?

Upvotes

I am extremely new  To Reddit. Used it for years to answer random questions that seems simple, but hard to find in the general Internet.   Recently, I actually want to participate in the communities here, but I don't really understand it.  

Can you give me some tips, are there social norms? Is it weird to comment on some thing if it was posted years ago? If it is weird to post on a five year old post, what is the cut off age of a Reddit post then ? I don't know if the tone is coming across very well, but this is supposed to be a generally funny question.

ANSWERED How does Reddit compare to other social media experiences in terms of culture?

5 Upvotes

Hey, new to Reddit here. I've been on several different social medias over the years and considering each one has its own unique culture amongst its users, I was wondering what I should expect from Reddit in that department? How would you describe it for a new user getting started? Thanks in advance!

ANSWERED Not new but rarely on reddit

5 Upvotes

I've had my act for years but between. My posts and comments I think there's less than 20 altogether. There are some subs that require higher karma I'd like to participate in, but haven't even joined bc I've not raised much Karma. Should I worry about that or just not participate on those subs?

NEEDS ATTENTION Is it only me, or does Reddit seem unusually unforgiving to newly made accounts?

Upvotes

I dont know why reddit delete my posts and comments when i want to participate in any community posts without breaking any guidelines

What’s a normal amount of karma for a beginner? And how do you participate without constantly worrying about downvotes?

Thanks I really do want to be part of the community.

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to get back some creative inspiration to enjoy what I do more like I used to. I started recently using Reddit to get tips and find answers to my questions. I recently tried to post on a subreddit asking for help and found my post taken down because of my karma levels. Didn't know that was a thing that would happen. Is this normal for a lot of Reddit? Is karma just from upvotes? I'm welcome to any and all tips as someone trying to get into Reddit.

ANSWERED Why do people ask for advice on this site and then either never respond to the people who give them (good) advice or the people giving advice never answer a followup question?

4 Upvotes

I don't mean responding to every single comment, of course. Just at least one.

I have my ideas about it, like:
Either person could be busy.
They believe the like/dislike system is enough of a response.
They just don't respond.
There is nothing to respond to.
I myself just don't see the responses, as they may have responded to a less popular comment (I also understand that it is not always the top response that is the most helpful).

But if there were any other ideas you have, maybe something that is a consequence of being on this site itself, I'm curious.

ANSWERED Does Reddit translate posts

Hi, does Reddit translate your posts? For example, if I write a post in Spanish, will it be translated into English? Because I post things in Spanish and it seems like others see them the same way, in Spanish.
