I once wanted to use reddit but I didn't understand exactly what it was.
I didn't use it after a while. It seemed complicated to me to use.
Then I gave up using it.
Twitter and Telegram are better places. People may learn that reddit is social media and open an account, but I don't think it's a place that is used very much.
I started using Reddit in 2017, but I could not enjoy it, and that's why I stopped using it at that time, and later I have not entered Reddit. I can't count Reddit as a social media, and it seems something different to me. On any social media, eg, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, likes can be increased only if there is no negative impact, but on Reddit, it has a negative impact too, as people can give negative karma.
I discovered reddit and signed up there a few years before you did, and like your story is, so is mine too, navigating around reddit is a very complicating, it hard to understand, and one that is most very disappointing and tiring is when you make a post in some subreddit, you will never find the in the time line of that subreddit, but when you go to your post history through your profile, you will find the post there, I've experienced this a lot of times and it's among why I stopped visiting the app.
But then on the other hand, some posts which is mostly life experiences can be very interesting to read, and also learn a thing or two from.
And speaking of social media, reddit is a social media, and their negative Karma feature is not a reason to say it's not a social media, because one thing I've always believed is that every business including online gambling casinos need to have features that is unique to them.
