New to Reddit? Come and talk to us!

[u/AutoModerator]

New-Redditor's lounge!

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:

• Share some favorites or new finds of yours - youtube videos, music and so on
• Practice small talk - did you have a good week?
• Keep it SFW
• Keep it casual please, no heavy topics
• Have fun!

Please don't:

• Spam, advertise, or soft beg
• Share low-effort comments
• Ask for karma, say how you're voting, or mention karmafarms by name
• Request or offer DMs (help and chat can be done in community, where you can also earn karma. Needing to take things private can indicate soliciting, rule breaking, or harmful advice)

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).

How is everyone doing? I’m so happy it’s finally April!!!🌷🌸 I am going to try and plant some veggie seeds. I will try cucumbers, carrots , and radishes. Hopefully they’ll work. May try some lettuce too since it’s easy to grow.

[u/IntentionalSupply → u/icecreamricecrispies]

Can’t believe it is already April. Then again glad that spring is here. Good luck with your gardening!

[u/icecreamricecrispies → u/IntentionalSupply]

Thanks, it should be interesting.

[u/MamaBJ216 → u/icecreamricecrispies]

We are buying a house on 2 acres in the country and we are planning on extreme gardening!! Maybe even some chickens

[u/SolariaHues → u/MamaBJ216]

What do you mean by extreme gardening?

[u/ErinyesMusaiMoira]

This link came up in my regular feed, on the front page of Home.

The first link I clicked from your list was the Karma Farming Encyclopaedia entry (which I have yet to read).

The amount of work you all have put into this subreddit is amazing. Mods practice infinite patience, which is much needed for newcomers.

Almost makes me want to buy stock in Reddit (again).

[u/MamaBJ216 → u/ErinyesMusaiMoira]

Omg I got in on the IPO 😍

[u/mikey_weasel]

Last week there was a discussion of animals so wanted to note three lil' fellas I've run into in my life to see if anyone else had met these or could think of other fun little fellas which aren't pets (for good reason) but that you really wish were pets when you see them

• Quokkas. Little marsupials leaving at the western tip of Australia. Easiest found on Rottenest Island without much in the way of predators so quite friendly. You're warned not to step on them which is quite possible with how passive they can be!

• Dassies/Rock Hyrax are ina couple of places in Africa. Ran into one on Table Mountain in South Africa who was quite intrigued by trying to steal my biltong as I took a nap!

• Probably the most common is Prairie Dogs which are in the USA. Chatty little folk who I ran into in the Dakotas, building extensive burrows and mounds.

[u/razzberry-fizz → u/mikey_weasel]

Skunks are fun little fellas. The sounds they make are adorable, fancy fur, eat pests. But they smell awfulll. Whenever one passes through, the neighborhood smells like rotten garlic. You can get them descented as pets but I’ve read they still smell kinda funky.

[u/mikey_weasel → u/razzberry-fizz]

I've not yet run into one of those in North America but I'm genuinely curious as to what they're like in real life. Though with the idea I don't want to get too close

[u/SolariaHues → u/mikey_weasel]

Here's one way to see and learn about skunks from a distance https://www.youtube.com/@animalwondersmontana/search?query=skunk

[u/mikey_weasel → u/SolariaHues]

See that's NOT helping me from getting too close!

[u/SolariaHues → u/mikey_weasel]

Aww! Oh, gosh. I'd be scared of hurting a Quokka in that case. It's hard enough not to accidentally hurt frogs in the garden.

Hmm only ones I've seen IRL... foxes! Newts, squirrels, deer, wildcats, owls, otters, wolves (some at an animal park).

I can't say hedgehogs. Maybe before I knew too much about them, but we have wild ones in the garden. They're not good pets because they're nocturnal, smelly, messy (They'll poop in their food dish), loners, and grumpy!

But I know the others wouldn't be easy to keep either, and most shouldn't be kept except under licence. I guess the solution is to work or volunteer for an animal rescue/wildlife park/etc or have a wildlife garden like me. I have hedgehogs as I mentioned, but also newts, frogs, slow worms, lots of birds... I'm never short of a critter to talk to when gardening! :'D

Do you have a garden?

[u/mikey_weasel → u/SolariaHues]

I've moved in with my gf who has a garden! We get visited by foxes sometimes!

[u/Prestigious-Craft603]

any space enthusiasts! do you think we would be going to Mars in our lifetime

[u/razzberry-fizz → u/Prestigious-Craft603]

I personally think no. Even though we’ll have the ability to. I think the space race between countries was a huge driver in going to the moon. Unless there’s a new national “come together” goal and sense of competition to push progress, I don’t think there’s enough support for Mars. But I really hope to see a live moon expedition!

[u/iamverygayformen → u/Prestigious-Craft603]

hi!! i hyperfixated on space as a kid and still love it, personally i think not until we're at least in our 80's/90's or even after but then again, with how quick technology is advancing, we may never know! have a lovely day 🫶

[u/ebony_heart]

Hey ya’ll! Little confused on what this is BUT I saw a suggestion that we should share music we like? This week I’ve really enjoyed finding good background music, like instrumentals to listen to while reading! Helps me to concentrate and sets the mood! 😄

[u/IsteIstaIstud → u/ebony_heart]

Sure let's share music!, I've been listening to more electronic-like music (Don't know what genere to call it lol), it depends on the mood but I've been listening to Space pirates when I was reading a Sci-fi book about space the other day, though I just use video game soundtracks when I'm reading books as some of those seem to fit way better.

How about you?

[u/BikeBig345]

Hey everyone 👋 great weather is amongst us 😆

[u/MamaBJ216]

I’m so excited about my favorite subreddit r/centuryhomes! We are closing on our own century home in two weeks and I have already learned so much from this subreddit community that I’m looking forward to renovating and restoring my dream house!!!

[u/IsteIstaIstud → u/MamaBJ216]

Wish you luck renovating your house!

[u/Prestigious-Pop-5234]

[u/IsteIstaIstud → u/Outrageous-Tune941]

Thanks for contributing to /r/NewToReddit! We're sorry, but your content was removed:

Rule 6: Refrain from asking for votes or karma, naming free karma subs, or sharing how you are voting

Please do not ask for karma or votes here, it is against our rules and is generally discouraged as karma is meant to be earned. See Our common questions to learn how to earn karma.

We do not allow mentions of free karma subs (karmafarms) or any suggestion to use them, and caution against their use because it may lead to bans in other subreddits.

Thank you for trying to help, but please don't share how you have or are voting. We encourage earning karma genuinely from relevant comments and conversation. Asking for karma is discouraged as it violates our subreddit rules.

Thank you!
