View submission: Hello guys! I am new to Reddit

I'd give the same advice we give those with low karma really but with negative karma it may have harder to find places to participate as you've found, as some communities may look for negative karma to filter out trolls.

You'll need upvotes on your content - on posts or comments depending on which you lost karma on.

Generally speaking, avoid controversy and sensitive topics while your karma is low, and try and find some subs where you can comment - it make take some trial and error.

Sort content by 'new' so you're interacting with fresh content and maybe try subs around your hobbies and interests to share you knowledge and experience.

Typically, subs with high restrictions could be those that:

• are very large

• are very active

• are about controversial or sensitive topics or often have posts about them

• will have a lot of vulnerable users

• have previously been a target for spammers, misinformation, etc etc

Those that may have lower restrictions could be those that:

• are smaller

• are less active

• are more niche

Other general advice for avoiding downvotes -

• always check the community rules
• lurk to get a feel for the community before posting
• re-read what you're saying before sending to check your tone, try not to accidentally make people feel defensive
• remember unless using tone indicators sarcasm etc isn't necessary obvious
