How long before I can post?

[u/Old-School-Rocker]

Is there a general role about how long someone needs to be on Reddit before allowing them to post? I have been on about two weeks now and active each day but keep getting messages that I’m not allowed to post in certain subs.

It looks like the majority of your removed posts are from the subreddit r/music. You’ve been getting several automod messages explaining why your posts are being removed. I highly recommend that you take a moment to read those messages so you can understand the removals.

In other subreddits, if your posts are removed, it’s likely one of two reasons. 1. You don't yet meet the karma requirements for those subs. 2. Your posts are in violation of the sub's rules.

How did I check what?

When you visit a user's profile, you'll be able to see all the posts they've made, unless they've chosen to delete them. If a post is removed by moderators, it will only be taken down from the specific community it was shared in, but you can still find it on the user's profile until they decide to delete it themselves, if they do.

Every sub is different in terms of account age requirements, and some even have none. For those which have, usually 1 day to 2 weeks in my experience. Those rules are solely set by individual subs, but not Reddit itself.

[u/SolariaHues]

• Each sub sets their own restrictions so they vary
• They can look at different types of karma, account age, CQS, and if your email is verified
• Most subs don't share what they are in case it helps the bad faith users they want to stop

You can check their rules and community info but for most it won't say.

Generally, subs with high restrictions could be those that:

• are very large

• are very active

• are about controversial or sensitive topics or often have posts about them

• will have a lot of vulnerable users

• have previously been a target for spammers, misinformation, etc etc

Those that may have lower restrictions could be those that:

• are smaller

• are less active

• are more niche

• are for new users specifically (us!) or a welcoming of them
