Is it a user or an advertiser?

New to reddit and have been skimming through content and am having a hard time telling the difference between posts from users vs. posts from advertisers. Is there something that identifies an ad that I'm just not seeing? Thanks for the help.

Reddit is great but the barrier to entry…

Been reading for a few months, now ready to contribute. Then BAM! Karma!

I get it, but it sure makes for a big barrier for entry. Some of the sub Reddit’s won’t event allow you to comment.

How can I earn Karma or change my restrictions

Hello, I've never posted much in a while but I'm trying to ask questions in some gaming reddit post I follow but they keep getting deleted instantly? Why is that a thing now? I've used to be able casual chat back in the day.

Is there a thing as automatic avatar here?

Hi! So i found this year in review or something like that here in reddit. I was then dubbed "mad scientist" with a pfp next to it.

Is the avatar automatic? I don't remember setting my pfp, but here i have one. Did you experience it?

Rediscovering My 3-Year-Old Reddit Account - Advice Needed!

Hey Reddit!

I’ve had this account for 3 years but, confession time... I never really figured out how to use Reddit until now. So, consider me a somewhat seasoned newbie!

I’m diving headfirst into the Redditverse and could use some guidance from you lovely folks. Here are my burning questions:

  1. Best Practices: What are some tips and tricks every Reddit user should know to get the most out of this platform?
  2. Etiquette Tips: How can I navigate without stepping on any toes or summoning the dreaded downvotes?
  3. Hidden Gems: Any underrated subreddits or threads that every user should know about?

Posts not posting to certain subs?

Hi, hello. I didn't know where else to go with this question.

I tried at least 3 times to post on the photoshop request sub for a friend of mine. I go through the process, pick the appropriate tag, and have followed all of the rules. My post is not being flagged for anything or deleted, it just doesn't show up? Either on my "home page" or on the sub itself. It quite literally seems to just disappear into the void of Reddit. This is a really important picture for her to get fixed up and I don't understand why it just keeps going into the void. It's non-existent on my end, even though I've "posted" it at least 3 times. Not sure if it's a weird Reddit glitch or if I'm just effing up, here. Any insight would be great. I really want to give my best friend the photo that she wants.

Is it normal that posts don’t get posted?

I‘m new and whenever I post something the post doesn’t show up as the latest post in the subreddit. It’s just vanished. Am I doing something wrong?

How I can build karma on here also when do you have ability to chat with other people?

Hi! I’m curious about how I can start building up my karma on Reddit. Are there specific strategies or types of posts that tend to work well for earning karma? Also, I’d like to know when I’ll unlock the ability to chat with other users on the platform. Are there specific requirements or milestones

The Reddit app is not working?

I know it's kinda of stupid to post on Reddit about this,but google isn't helping. I recently got a new phone (went from iPhone 8 to iPhone 13!) and the Reddit app isn't working. I attached a screen shot but it just says that there is a server error. Google says that Reddit isn't down but it has been like this for me for a little under a week. I can still access Reddit via the website (how I'm typing this) and I am still getting notifications so idk.

I’ll get karma then my post usually gets downvoted for no reason other than downvoting spam bots

Help , I can’t pass the karma checks cause I get enough karma barely and then someone or some bot will come and downvote it to 0 and ruins my karma basically almost resetting it closing me off from posting in certain subreddits till I get enough karma then it happens again where the upvotes gets downvoted for no reason I don’t stir things , post content that’s related to the subreddit , very nice and not rude so I don’t see why my post will get downvoted … making it hard as heck to get out of this low karma hole maybe they need to set up a different way to stop spam bots other than karma
