Welcome to r/NewToReddit, /u/MrReady4You! Thanks for posting. Your post has been flaired 'Needs attention' so we can easily identify which posts require answers. Someone will be along to help you shortly.
Check out our "General Guide to Reddit and Karma" Wiki page version or Mobile friendly post version, it explains how to get started on Reddit; including information on karma, navigation, and more.
Once you get some answers, don’t forget to engage and ask any additional questions you have!
Once you have a good answer you can mark your post as answered by commenting with the exact phrase!answered. Otherwise, a mod will do so as time allows, once an accurate answer has been provided. This makes unanswered posts easier to find.
Yes, new users have limitations to where they can post with low karma/low account age. You need to build up your karma to be able to post in more subs.
Karma is like your reputation score on Reddit. Karma comes from upvotes (or downvotes) on your posts and comments from other users. Casting votes does not affect your karma score.
You can post some helpful comments on newer posts. Join a discussion and politely offer your opinion. Be kind and remember that there are people on Reddit from all over the world. After some time and upvotes, you’ll be able to post in more subs.
If you are shadowbanned by Reddit your content doesn't show up in subs and people can't see your profile but things will look normal to you. As it's intended for spammers Reddit doesn't want them to notice anything is wrong too quickly in order to slow them down.
Occasionally new users might get caught too though we imagine Reddit tries to keep false positives as low as possible. We don't know what triggers them exactly, it's likely a number of things.
You don’t get a notification if you get shadowbanned, but you can check your status and appeal at https://www.reddit.com/appeals, and if you can appeal then you're either shadowbanned or suspended, if you can't, your account is fine. Learn more in the Help Centre.
Appeals may take a while, depending on demand and current events. Please do not spam or abuse the appeals team. More information
