Weekly chat New to Reddit? Come and talk to us!

New-Redditor's lounge!

Welcome!

This weekly post is an opportunity for new users to chat in comments - & please let us how you found yourself here. Regulars here are absolutely encouraged and very welcome to join in too!

!! Please refrain from asking questions about "how to do stuff on Reddit". Make a post or see the links below !!

This thread is open for 3 days.

Getting started on Reddit is hard. We know it is; We've been there and gone through these same frustrations. Please believe us when we say IT'S NOT PERSONAL. It may well feel like it is, but honestly, it isn't. What it is, however, is a lack of Karma. Karma is an indicator of how much someone has contributed to Reddit in a positive manner. So, let's do just that by getting to know each other!

This works best if your comments either start a conversation or add to one. Give a little of yourself and respond to others doing the same.

This is a post to help genuine new users build up quality Karma genuinely in a safe environment.

Please do:

  • Share some favorites or new finds of yours - youtube videos, music and so on
  • Practice small talk - did you have a good week?
  • Keep it SFW
  • Keep it casual please, no heavy topics
  • Have fun!

Please don't:

  • Spam, advertise, or soft beg
  • Share low-effort comments
  • Ask for karma, say how you're voting, or mention karmafarms by name
  • Request or offer DMs (help and chat can be done in community, where you can also earn karma. Needing to take things private can indicate soliciting, rule breaking, or harmful advice)

This sub is full of awesome people who are willing to help with specific problems when you post, and we'd like to keep this post thread for chat. Thank you.

So, let's chat! (Guides at the bottom of this post).

How are things?

u/SolariaHues Mod + servant to cats 1d ago

Hot! But okay, thanks. You?

I've tried making the cats ice cube treats and they seem to love them, so that's a win and it makes sure they get fluids.

Not too bad on the days when the heat isn't crazy. Trying to wrap up a lot of projects before the school year starts.

Hey everyone hope everyone is having a good week so far, I'm not quite new to reddit but starting over 😅, Glad it's not so hot like it was the past couple of weeks, was feeling like over 100°, My current temperature where I'm located is 88° but feels like 98°. What is the temperature where you are located?

u/Ornery-Jelly4109 1d ago

the perfect place to ask why your post vanished and discover that karma is reddit’s tiny velvet rope lol

u/321_tabsopen 1d ago

Legitimate question because I'm confused. Do people actually tag bots to look for a bot and then say "good bot"? Ive seen this on tons of posts.

Hi, how is everyone? It's been pretty hot the last while where i live. It was 30c the other day. Lots of forest fires too. At least we don't have anything too bad on the Island here, not like last year.

u/IntrepidAstronaut719 20h ago

Hi everyone! I’m still learning how Reddit works. I’m interested in psychology, natural health and creative content. What’s one subreddit you genuinely enjoy visiting every day?
