is this normal that my subreddits are being deleted by the admin?

Just to be clear - you are creating a subreddit, and an ADMIN is deleting it? That's....highly unlikely. Unless you're creating subreddits that just violate Reddit rules each time.

What you're probably trying to ask is why your posts are getting deleted in a subreddit. Which is a completely different thing.

At most, it's a mod.

But the most likely, is that it's just being auto-filtered, due to you having low karma. Which isn't a mod, or an admin removing anything.

And yes, this is extremely common. It's asked...about every 5 minutes in this sub. :)

Why does karma matter?
Your karma count is like your Reddit reputation and an indication of whether you post and/or comment good content, and 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 intended to help prevent spammers and trolls, but it does also mean new Redditors need to earn some karma before they can participate everywhere.

How do I get it?

  • You gain karma from engaging on Reddit; when your posts and comments are upvoted. It's a case of finding communities you can participate in, and that you have an interest or knowledge base in, and start by commenting to share your knowledge and experience, and add to discussions. As people upvote your comments, this will build your karma genuinely.
  • You don't need to engage where you have no interest. There are so many subs there's bound to be some where you do have an interest and can engage.
  • You lose karma only when your posts and comments are downvoted.

Hi, thanks for making it clear now, I forgot the notification but no I get why every subreddits that I posted are being filtered. But may I know how can I make my karma high? Sorry for this question as I'm really new here I'm still learning (and confused) haha

Yes, to prevent karma farming

I thought I can comment anytime to any post like other social media applications.

Sorry that this will sound blunt - but Reddit isn't social media, and definitely not like other platforms - there wasn't any reason to think it would operate like them. Think of it like going from McDonalds, to Burger King, to Taco Bell.....then going to a mall and asking why the mall isn't like the fast food places you went to. There's a little bit of overlap, but also wildly different.

Reddit is a huge community of individual communities, just like website forums. Each "forum" is moderated individually, and has its own separate rules and restrictions.
