We are here to help you with Reddit. We aren't the Help Desk for Nintendo, or Apple, or Samsung, or Microsoft, or Adobe, or... well, you get the picture.

We will happily answer all your questions about Reddit. Ask us about karma and upvotes and subreddits and spamming and anything else related to this website you're currently reading. But we can't answer your questions about why your laptop is frozen or how to reset your games console or why that software isn't working. For those questions, we encourage you to contact the help services for the products/software directly. Not here.

However, if you insist on asking people on Reddit about your problems with non-Reddit products and software, rather than the people who are paid to help you with the products you bought from them, please take a moment to find the appropriate subreddit. There are hundreds of subreddits out there for all the software and computers and consoles you can think of - and most of them are fairly easy to find. For example...

  • The subreddit about Microsoft Windows is called /r/Windows.

  • The subreddit about the Nintendo 3DS is called /r/3DS.

  • The subreddit about Samsung is called /r/Samsung.

  • The subreddit about Apple is called /r/Apple.

  • The subreddit about the XboxOne is called /r/XboxOne.

Questions about the mobile version should be asked in the relevant app related sub.

There is also the /r/TechSupport subreddit, where you will find people who like to answer general technical support questions.

Earlier this year, we built a new tool to help users recover their usernames who may have forgotten theirs. Simply visit this page and enter your email address and we’ll email you your username. Of course, this only works if you have an email associated with your Reddit account(s). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Since we’re on the topic, I’d like to do a quick little reminder to add and verify an email address to your account if you haven’t already done so. You can do so here. It’s quite important for recovering your account in the event anything happens to it (ie you forgot your username/password, your account has been locked, or you run into any other issues with logging in).

This post is part of our ongoing series of commonly asked questions we see in our work. Let us know in the comments if you have any questions or ideas for future topics!

If you make a post/comment and people upvote said comment you will gain karma. It is also the amount of upvote you have gained with these comments/post that you have submitted.

With this fact also many reddit groups have a setting in which you need a certain amount of karma to post in the groups. To put it simply if you needed 50 karma to post you will need to gain that amount of karma through comments and upvotes.

Hope this helped anyone understand this

A certain mod many other users have had problems with and is a mod for many large subs keeps changing my flair and removing my posts that don’t violate any rules because I got into an argument with them ON A DIFFERENT SUB.

The argument happened because they banned a user for reporting a repost through mod mail

They all,

So, I have this current account which has some time, right now, and I don't recall my password and I cannot have access to my old email.

Is it possible somehow to change my email, for a new one, it order to not last my current account. Or should I must create a new one? :(

I have tried this link:    https://www.reddit.com/r/help/comments/9p9wph/locked_out_of_account_and_dont_have_old_email/ 

, but I cannot do it, since it says the username already exists. Any help please? :/

I get newsletters from reddit showing latest posts. These always open in chrome, not in the reddit app. So for every link i first have to go through chrome, then click "open in Reddit app", and then I can bookmark it.

How to open links directly with the reddit app?

I'm on Android 9, Huawei phone.

Thank you.
