Is there any way to search for either one sentence or another?

If I want to search for threads about the UFC, I can search for "UFC" or "Ultimate Fighting Championship", but is there any way I can search for both without reddit assuming I want to see threads with both sentences?

Account email is not my email?!?

So I’ve been using this account since August, and I’ve just realized that the email on my account is not my email and I can’t change it without checking an email. I have no idea how this happened and I don’t know what to do, can someone help??

Edit: it’s saying to do anything, I need to create a reddit password and then sends an email to the email that is not mine.

I’m subscribed to over 200 subreddits, how can I shuffle through them?

Hot, top, popular, sorting by hour, day, or week isn’t helpful when I see the same 20 in my feed no matter what. I want to be taken to MY niche subreddits and support them. The only other random way to do it is to scroll real fast and click without looking…

My home feed recommendations are already off.

question? Is karma better or time on platform better?

Is there a use for karma? Or does it just make you a more trusted member of reddit?

I've been on reddit for over 2 years and could not post to a new group...it just seems like "time conpleted" had no bearing on your ability to post, but karma does.

Is karma used for anything other than points?

What Are Commonly Used Acronyms?

i’ve been reading a lot and people often use acronyms or letters to describe concepts. for example, men say (M21) which means they’re a male that’s 21. also i’ve seen OOP which means original original poster. [which i don’t entirely understand.] what else do people use that i should look out for?

So how does reddit actually work? 30/F

I remember using reddit, way back in 2009 -- what's karma? Is it a form of currency here? That allows access to subreddits and it's activities? If so, how do I earn it?

Seeking help on how to add links

Hello everyone. I'm fairly new to Reddit but I do comment a lot and I'm wondering how do I include a link in my comment? Do I have to screenshot the URL and then manually enter it? And by name do they mean my username? Thanks in advance.

Why do my upvotes not seem to register?

I've started noticing that whenever I upvote or downvote a comment, they don't really seem to register? Like if a comment has a +2 and I upvote it at first it shows as +3 as I upvote it, but when I go away from the post and come back to it I see that its still stuck at +2. Is it because my Karma is too low? Or a reddit bug?

Posting to update those who use the UpdateMe! Feature

I’ve made a post and some redditors used the UpdateMe! feature in the comments. I soon will be providing an update post to my original one, but just want to make sure if there’s a specific protocol to use when doing such so those people will get their update. I’m not exactly sure how that feature works. Also, what is the best way to provide an update post? Do I provide a link to the original post in the update post? Thanks

Filtering out Specific Flair in Subreddits

So I’m not exactly "new", (though I’ve only been active a relatively brief time), but I was wondering how to filter out specific flair from subreddits so I don’t get them in my feed.

In particular, certain series I follow where I want to discuss the books, but dislike the television adaptations of said books.

How to I filter it out? I am on mobile most often, and while I have heard of a flair blacklist, I have no idea how to access it.

I just need to post more and comment more to get more karma?

Even tho my profile is 7 years old and only 1 karma, all I need to do is post and comment to get upvotes then? I’ve always love reading stories and memes from here but never really commented on anything or posted something until today.

Question about Negative Karma Count

Hi all, I have a question about how Karma works. I'm super new to reddit and have made a total of 4 comments. I have -2 comment Karma right now and I checked my comment history. One of my comments has been upvoted once and another of my comments has been downvoted once. I'm curious as to how +1 and -1 results in -2. How does the karma counting system work? Thanks in advance!

Hello. How come when I comment it seems to get no attention even when it's one of the newest comments?

Is it because my account is around a day old or my karma is at 1?
