A Direct Message (or DM) is another mode of private communication on Reddit. Communications specifically to you from Reddit (e.g. bans, suspensions, mods deleting posts etc.) will be made this way; also some notifications that you have received an award from someone or welcome messages to some subreddits. See your messages at: https://www.reddit.com/message/inbox[1].

Please note that new accounts or those with no-or-low Karma cannot send DMs[2].
Direct Messages are only sortable by date and personal conversations can easily get lost down the page. You can DM someone by clicking on their name. DM options can be turned on and off in your Account Settings (the options on your username tab on mobile).
Please don’t respond to unsolicited DMs asking for money or offering financial services, no matter how sad or genuine the story appears. Reddit is often targeted by scammers in this way[3]. If this happens to you, report the message[4], block the user and move on.
