Advice Subreddits

Reddit has a plethora of Subreddits where you can crowdsource serious advice on family, relationship, legal, medical, financial or other issues, and you will find a starter list of these subreddits at “Relationship and Advice Subreddits[1]”.

Subs of this nature are tightly controlled[2], but even so, some outcomes can go terribly, terribly wrong[3]. Sometimes, well-meaning Redditors will fall for scammers with real-world consequences ensuing[4].

Like everything, you should approach advice subreddits with a balance of healthy scepticism and sincerity - with one clear exception: begging for money. If someone posts, comments or sends you a direct message or chat request asking for money of any amount for any reason, please report the post[5] or if it was a DM, report it here[6], refer them to r/assistance, block them and move on. If they are genuine, r/assistance has the experience and a useful resource of Subreddits that may be able to help them[7] in a controlled way.
