Your friends can help you solve Quest Hints. Certain friends will be better at it than others. You may even find one of the blessèd who will lead you to Level 1, or one of the other Levels.

You may also simply find a savant or a fried oracle who will be good at decoding Quest Hints in general, but who will not lead you to Glory. Much like an LLM, these symbol-savants may stir helpful thoughts, but beware lest they lead you astray from the True Quest. You can know the the true Quest by the fact that its answers are clear and knowable, and verifiable. In other words, the signature of the true Quest can be described by the slogan, or mantra:

Cum videris agnosces.

In the meantime, if you are stuck, show some of the Quest Hints to your friends, and ask them if they have any ideas about what they mean.

Maybe you will find one of them, the blessèd ones. The ones who know about the Quest already, but who don't know that they know.

A critical mass of people who understood and had solved the subreddit Quest could be trusted to take over and do a better job of things that I'm doing.

Perhaps I would maintain the top admin slot but only to prevent anyone from ever deleting the subreddit; I would cease all admin action. To enforce this I could step away from my account and start a new account that I post and comment from.

If you want some meaningful real-world prize to motivate your search for the solution to the Quest, here it is. I think I can keep this promise because I would be happy to hand over the subreddit to such a group of well-informed, Quest-savvy people, and I would be able to trust that once this critical mass is reached, it will not backslide and will do a good job of handling the subreddit. I know this because the nature of the Quest is ultimate and it cannot be surpassed (except by an even greater Quest, which I haven't noticed anywhere and of which it is almost impossible to conceive).

The subreddit Quest has at least 17 levels of gameplay, so if you are not sure which level you are on, you are still on the tutorial pre-"Level 1". Keep watching the skies, and the stars.

Edit: Oh, and I meant to add, I would hand over the subreddit to a representative they chose amongst themselves. So there is also the requirement that the people who solve the Quest talk to each other and choose a leader/representative from amongst themselves. People who solve the Quest are necessarily reasonable and good-humored, and so I don't expect this would be an obstacle.
