Reddit, as we know, is a social news website where almost any and every notorious news published on the internet ultimately lands. The site is different from other social sites primarily because of the strong community restraints that govern the popularity and credibility of the information posted here. New users often find the site to be overwhelming due to the countless text links and conversation threads that are currently trending, and may or may not be able to identify with popular contexts instantly, but it’s only a matter of time before are attracted to their specialties. . Here are some things for beginners to do and not to do to enjoy content and site interactions without getting into trouble.
Account creation
Signing up to Reddit is mandatory to post links and post comments on existing threads. However, guest users can simply explore the outgoing links that are popular at any time of the day. It is easy to create an account, preferably with an email ID, however please note that a username once created cannot be edited later. Although a new account can be created, it is not possible to inherit content and karma from the previous account.
Send a Reddit
The next step to become part of Reddit is to send a link to content of your choice. This step again is easy because all you require is an appropriate title (Reddit even offers title suggestions) and a URL or link to the corresponding website.
Reddits are generally posted directly on the main site reddit.com or in an appropriate section of the site known as the subreddit. Popular subreddits are automatically displayed on the screen. Posts can take a while to appear on the front page, but putting the Reddit under a relevant subreddit is more likely to show the link than when it is placed on the main site. Use a free image hosting service to share images on Reddit, Imgur is quite popular on this site.
In addition to link submissions, members can also submit text content in the form of self-posts.
Needle in a haystack?
Armed with the basics of registering and submitting links, let’s move on to look at some factors that help other users notice Reddit. The main goal here is to get as much support as possible, soliciting feedback and voting so Reddit stays focused a bit longer.
Comments, VoteUps, VoteDowns and Karma are the main aspects that govern the popularity of a given publication. Positive and negative comments are welcome and are not removed from the records unless legally required. VoteUps and VoteDowns symbolize thumbs up and down, determining the popularity score of each Reddit that the user posts on the site. Karma is simply a measure of how welcome one’s contribution is to the site, both in terms of posts and comments.
To stay in the good books of moderators and other Reddit members:
Target the correct niche by placing the Reddit post under an appropriate r/askreddit landlords to reach like-minded friends interested in a specific topic.
Keep in mind that humor and insight find favor within the community with any form of fun and insight that is highly trending among posts on the site. Reddit also supports diverse political views and serves as a platform for political propaganda.
Spam links fade into the air almost instantly as they are quickly identified and removed by the community. Do not make a conscious effort to flood the queue with links to a specific site, or multiple sites in an attempt to attract inbound traffic, the effort may not actually materialize and may in fact be penalized.
Posting links while refraining from reading other posts, participating in discussions, or commenting on other posts is also a trend that will surely be noticed and slowed down.
Avoid posting personal information on Reddit in an attempt to harass or embarrass others. Repeated attempts are punishable by prohibitions.
