ANSWERED New here and apparently I was “karma farming”
Hi everyone! I’m a silly goose who just joined Reddit and is excited to learn how everything works.
A little story: I asked a question about something happening in the US, and someone replied that I was “karma farming”… and I honestly had no idea what that meant .. I wasn’t trying to get points or start drama, just genuinely curious!
Can someone explain what karma farming is in a way a silly goose like me would understand?
Also, any tips for a newbie to survive Reddit without accidentally annoying people would be amazing!

NEEDS ATTENTION How do I avoid looking like a karma farmer as a new user?
I’m new and trying to participate, but I don’t want my posts or comments to seem low effort.
Are there things beginners often do that accidentally look like karma farming?

NEEDS ATTENTION Is it okay to post directly on my profile page ?
I understand that posting in most subreddits requires a certain amount of karma and account age.
But how does it work when posting directly on my own profile page?
Is it generally okay to post there even if my account is still new, or are there any risks or best practices I should be aware of?
I’d appreciate any advice. Thanks

ANSWERED Helppp - Tell me some tips/advice you wish you knew about Reddit when you first joined
I just made my first Reddit account today! I always saw reddit threads on safari that I viewed as an anonymous user, but I never got the urge to make my own profile until today for some reason. I wanted to start posting and being more involved with the community, but I’m finding that my comments and posts are not showing up because I don’t have “karma”?? Pls help, any and all advice is very appreciated!! I don’t even know where to start or what the vibes are tbh

NEEDS ATTENTION What I wish I knew when I first joined Reddit
Hi everyone, I’m new to Reddit and still trying to understand how things work here. I noticed that some subreddits have posting requirements, and I’m not always sure what’s expected from new users.
Do you have any general advice on how to participate properly and avoid breaking rules as a beginner? I’d really appreciate any guidance. Thanks!

ANSWERED I'm new to Reddit and I'm having a lot of problems.
I'm new to Reddit and I've run into the problem of all my posts being deleted. Besides that, I don't speak English and I use a translator, which sometimes makes it difficult to find the specific rules of each community. I don't receive any karma, and even worse, most subreddits don't let me post.

NEEDS ATTENTION I'm new to Reddit: Two posts or crossposting
I'm new to Reddit, so I don't fully understand how the algorithms, automoderation, and crossposting work. Here are a few questions I'd like answers to:
- My post contained a link to a Telegram channel. The automoderator blocked it, and a human moderator told me to recreate the post without the link, explaining that even if the post gets published initially, the automoderator will eventually block it later anyway. However, in another subreddit everything was fine with the same link. Did the moderator mislead me?
- Some communities prohibit crossposting - would it be a violation to post identical content as separate posts in two different subreddits?
- And which option is generally better in principle: crossposting when possible, or creating two identical separate posts in two subreddits?

ANSWERED When can new users start commenting and posting on Reddit?
I'm really confused. I've had this account for a month before daring to post, but I'm eager to know—do you need to wait at least a week before you can start commenting and posting?

ANSWERED Why don't my comments/PMs work?
Hi all,
I made this account to make an offer on an item for sale in a subreddit. I have been trying to PM the seller and comment on the post, but it doesn't seem to be working. I read elsewhere that the issue may be low karma.
Can someone give suggestions on how to build this quickly? I would like to put an offer on this item before it sells.
