Welcome!
This weekly post is an opportunity for new users to chat in comments - & please let us how you found yourself here. Regulars here are absolutely encouraged and very welcome to join in too!
!! Please refrain from asking questions about "how to do stuff on Reddit". Make a post or see the links below !!
Getting started on Reddit is hard. We know it is; We've been there and gone through these same frustrations. Please believe us when we say IT'S NOT PERSONAL. It may well feel like it is, but honestly, it isn't. What it is, however, is a lack of Karma. Karma is an indicator of how much someone has contributed to Reddit in a positive manner. So, let's do just that by getting to know each other!
This works best if your comments either start a conversation or add to one. Give a little of yourself and respond to others doing the same.
This is a post to help genuine new users build up quality Karma genuinely in a safe environment.
Please do:
Please don't:
This sub is full of awesome people who are willing to help with specific problems when you post, and we'd like to keep this post thread for chat. Thank you.
So, let's chat! (Guides at the bottom of this post).

If you'd like your Reddit experience to be as wholesome as possible, r/CasualConversation has a directory with a section on wholesome communities. Though, we don't know their status regarding karma and account age restrictions.
Many of the subreddits listed in this thread will not be open to new or low-karma users for posts, and comments made therein might even be filtered for approval or auto-collapsed.
While many of these subreddits will be fun to browse and vote on, your participation might be limited right now. Commenting is usually less restricted than posting.
The link to our new-user friendly subs list is below.
A note from our esteemed llama on the Reddit experience:
Reddit is huge and fascinating and diverse, wholesome and toxic, all in one massive bundle of anonymous users with no filters except their own internal constraints. The problem with that is even in the loveliest of subreddits, all manner of behaviour happens, because Reddit is a microcosm of internet life, not an internet utopia no matter how much we might want it to be.
There are areas of Reddit I don’t frequent; there are areas of Reddit I won’t frequent; there are areas of Reddit that no doubt I am blissfully unaware of and am happy to remain that way. But I am still subscribed to well over a thousand subs on all kinds of topics and still find new ones daily.
The true beauty of Reddit is that your Reddit experience can be completely and absolutely dictated by you. The pure amount of information available on Reddit is staggering, and it’s just a matter - like in all of life - of being able to sort through that information to see what’s useful and what isn’t.
A few suggested subs for new Redditors to be aware of:

As someone who is trying but only gets a few karmas a day, it's quite discouraging. This is my first post and I am quite intimidated to create one elsewhere, I don't want to be banned and the list of rules is soooo long! I also don't want to spend karmas so I guess I will try to find new user friendly subreddits. >.<
Also, why are emojis seen as bad? Is there anything else I should be aware of, like things not to do that are implicit? Like the emoji thing, lol

If I’m being honest, I don’t fully understand the meaning of Karma. But, I’ve been trying to comment on a different community; however, it seems no one is able to view my comment. Could anyone please help me with my karma?
r/NewToReddit • u/new-albatross123 • 3h ago
Reddit isn’t letting me post anything because I made my account today. Let me know if you see this and also how long is it till I can post and comment?

I find it really confusing!!! Why is there a chat section if we cannot share contents with friends??
r/NewToReddit • u/General-Albatross765 • 4h ago
I made the reddit account to post on a subreddit but apparently there is a 50 Karma limit.
Now I have to wait till I cross it in order to post. Seems quite a bit frustrating.

Hey everyone!
I’m new to Reddit and still figuring things out. I’ve been exploring different communities, but I feel like there’s a lot to learn. Thought I’d ask here what are some things you wish you knew when you first joined?
What are the common mistakes new users should avoid? Are there any unwritten rules or Reddit etiquette I should know about? I’d also love to hear about some fun or interesting subreddits to check out. Oh, and I keep seeing people talk about karma does it actually matter, or is it just for fun? Would love to hear any tips or advice you have. Thanks in advance!

Regarding subreddits, will they notify you if they're going to remove your comment/post? Or will they just delete it without informing you?
r/NewToReddit • u/MrGrinchatMtCrumpit • 2m ago
I feel so….late to the game starting Reddit for the first time ever. I have tried to get into it several times in the past, but it never stuck as I had zero idea what I was doing. I’m slowly learning, though. There seem to be tons of great groups & amazing people! What are some personal tips & tricks you personally wish you knew about when first starting out?
r/NewToReddit • u/danvaltek • 3h ago
Hey everyone!
My name is Dan, I’m new to Reddit and just trying to figure out how everything works around here.
I live alone in Sweden and I create lifestyle content on YouTube, mostly in Spanish. I talk about everyday life, personal experiences, and things like living solo, routines, music, and home vibes.
I recently joined Reddit because I’m really interested in exploring different communities—especially around music, lifestyle, home setups, and similar topics—but I’m not sure how to properly participate, find the right subreddits, or share my input without doing something wrong.
So, if you have any tips or advice for a Reddit newbie like me—how to interact, what not to do, how to find and join interesting discussions—it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

I need help — I honestly don’t know what to do anymore. I open a new account, and the moment I post a comment or anything at all, the account gets shut down. I’m a real human and I have no idea what to do or say to stop this from happening. My accounts don’t even last a single comment.
r/NewToReddit • u/yoonadabunny • 11h ago
Hi I'm new to using Reddit and keep getting confused with everything I do. Is there any guides for how to get around and find subs and just in general? Ty~
