You might see the letters (NP) in post titles, especially where they have been crossposted from another subreddit. Meaning “No Participation”, this is to warn people against going to participate in the original thread.
Some subreddits accept crossposts from other subreddits in order to discuss them in a different environment, such as r/AmITheAngel, a satirical sub for absurd AITA posts[1]. Subs doing this usually impose a "do not comment in linked threads" rule, such as theirs which states “*Satirizing of posts should stay within this sub, which means that participating directly in linked posts should either be done in good faith or not at all.*”

On “Old Reddit” some subs would use certain url prefixes to access areas of Reddit such as the NP (No Participation) domain at https://np.reddit.com[2] to enforce this rule. You can read more about it here[3]. While not required any more, using the NP domain of reddit when crossposting helps to protect both your account (and the accounts of other users) from bans. The NP domain can be accessed by replacing the "www" in your reddit link with "np".

We have some Subreddits that exist for **not** participating in, including:
Ah, Reddit; never change.
