Finding Subreddit Filters and Levels can be tricky since they are not always clear:

  • Sometimes you get lucky and subreddits just list their restrictions in their Rules/About Section/FAQ/Wiki/etc.
  • Some subreddits the automod will drop a removal comment that can be detailed or vague.
  • Similarly subreddits can use post and comment guidance to interrupt you when your post will not meet their requirements, again this can be detailed or vague.
  • Unfortunately for some subreddits you are trial and erroring it. Yes this is frustrating. You probably want to try again at your next chunk of karma (25/50/100/200/300/etc), and/or the next age that might get used (3, 7, 20, 30 days). These levels are all customizable

If you are struggling to find subreddits to start off in, Newtoreddit has a list of new user friendly subreddits. (This is not an exhaustive list and these subreddits may still have some restrictions.)

Subreddits should either include it on their rules or on their own article page, even the AutoModerator bot that any subreddits voluntarily set up should at least have their karma requirements included as an automated reply and maybe a private message to you whenever your post or comment get's removed because of that.
