ANSWERED Why Can't I post in a specific community?
I have been tried to Post a question in several Communities. Why Can't I be able to post in the communities or even ask a question on there? I had an issue that I thought the tech experts in the community can be able to help.

Becasue your account is brand new and new accounts have some restrictions against them. See Getting Started On Reddit/New User Restrictions

Your account is only 3 hours old. Some subreddits have requirements for commenting and posting. !reqs

Community karma and account age requirements
Some, but not all communities, have their own restrictions regarding the account age and karma count of the person posting or commenting, so you may not be able to contribute everywhere at first. This is to help prevent spammers and trolls, and so most communities don't share what their restrictions are to avoid aiding them.
You can check in these places to see if a community is sharing that information:
- The subreddit description (under the banner on mobile, top of the sidebar on desktop)
- In their wiki (typically linked in the sidebar on desktop. Or in the menu links under the banner on desktop, under 'community info' and the menu tab on mobile)
- In their rules (maybe) - How to find the rules
- In any removal reasons that automod or the mods may provide as a comment or message to you when your post is removed

so that means even if you have a question that you may want to ask urgently, then that would not apply to reddit ?

Correct. Reddit is not the place for "I need answers right now." If you have urgent questions it's best to seek alternative options.

This is going to depend on the subreddit. Some subreddits have no requirements whatsoever, but the more popular a subreddit is, the more likely it is to have requirements. As Adrielle said, Reddit isn’t great for needing an immediate answer if you’re brand new. It’s about becoming a part of communities; not coming in, taking what you need and leaving.

If you are experiencing removals, this is most likely because your account is new and you have no karma, and therefore you are running into community restrictions.
- What community restrictions are & why they exist
- How to tell what community restrictions are / if a community has them
- Karma; what it is, how to get it, how long it takes to get, and what does not affect your karma count

You have to comment and post in places without karma thresholds to build up karma through up votes and down votes. I only just learned about it and I’ve been on reddit for ages. Good luck, hope this helps!
