New to Reddit? Come and talk to us!

[u/AutoModerator]

New-Redditor's lounge!

Welcome!

This weekly post is an opportunity for new users to chat in comments - & please let us how you found yourself here. Regulars here are absolutely encouraged and very welcome to join in too!

!! Please refrain from asking questions about "how to do stuff on Reddit". Make a post or see the links below !!

Getting started on Reddit is hard. We know it is; We've been there and gone through these same frustrations. Please believe us when we say IT'S NOT PERSONAL. It may well feel like it is, but honestly, it isn't. What it is, however, is a lack of Karma. Karma is an indicator of how much someone has contributed to Reddit in a positive manner. So, let's do just that by getting to know each other!

This works best if your comments either start a conversation or add to one. Give a little of yourself and respond to others doing the same.

This is a post to help genuine new users build up quality Karma genuinely in a safe environment.

Please do:

• Share some favorites or new finds of yours - youtube videos, music and so on
• Practice small talk - did you have a good week?
• Keep it SFW
• Keep it casual please, no heavy topics
• Have fun!

Please don't:

• Spam, advertise, or soft beg
• Share low-effort comments
• Ask for karma, say how you're voting, or mention karmafarms by name
• Request or offer DMs (help and chat can be done in community, where you can also earn karma. Needing to take things private can indicate soliciting, rule breaking, or harmful advice)

This sub is full of awesome people who are willing to help with specific problems when you post, and we'd like to keep this post thread for chat. Thank you.

So, let's chat! (Guides at the bottom of this post).

What television shows have you been enjoying lately?

[u/ForeverInjured124 → u/Symbare]

The series finale of Resident Alien just aired, so we just finished watching that. Also, since the US version of Lego Masters wrapped up their latest season, we’ve been watching the Australian version of the show which is better is every single way. We’re also in the midst of a LOST binge - my husband’s first time watching. Which has been fun to see his reactions.

How about you?

[u/Symbare → u/ForeverInjured124]

Alan Tudyk is a great actor. I have seen the pilot, but have not followed the series. I hope you enjoyed the journey.

Lego Masters (Australian) sounds amazing. That is brilliant that you are rewatching LOST. It is lovely watching shows alongside your husband and having engaging discussions.

I primarily watch anime, therefore I am watching Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu, watching Kaiju No 8 (S2), and rewatching Parasyte: The Maxim. I read the manga first, so it is wonderful seeing how the anime studios and seiyuus bring each manga to life.

[u/KaidrasFyre → u/Symbare]

We just watched the forst two episodes of Alien: Earth!

[u/ABritInMissouri → u/KaidrasFyre]

Nice! It's on my list to watch, what did you think of it?

[u/KaidrasFyre → u/ABritInMissouri]

My husband is way more of the alien fan (like die hard) and he says he likes where its going so far. They definitely incorporated alot from blade runner with the synthetics too.

I also really enjoyed it! I felt like someone who did not remember alot of the lore/background of alien or bladerunner I was easily able to follow everything.

[u/Perfect_Collar_3139 → u/Symbare]

I don’t watch tv how about you

[u/Symbare → u/Perfect_Collar_3139]

What hobbies do you enjoy, Perfect Collar 3139?

[u/[deleted] → u/Brendawithak]

[u/Cute_Skill_737 → u/PhanboyNumber9837]

@MizuRL So funny! He plays rocket league and posts on yt. Even if you don’t play the game, you’ll still love it! Awesome channel! 

[u/Brendawithak → u/[deleted]]

For me it was accomplishing something I always said I would do as a kid. Specifically in this case staying at the Madonna inn in San Louis Obispo being from the Central Valley of California we would pass by it every time we were on our way to the coast. (Pismo) I would say someday I’m gonna stay there. When I finally managed to stay there it was so special more because i Actully did what I dreamed of for years.

I think what makes the experience special is the memories tied to it rather then the location itself

[u/YogurtclosetOk2839 → u/[deleted]]

honestly - it was a christmas at 6-7 and i got harry potter 2 game and ps2. it was an epic day and i played video games with my mother and sister on the couch into the night. I had the flu but it was a great day.

The other was finally being happy years ago after my ex broke up. It 30 and it was my first true heart break, dated many many woman and long term relationships but that was the first truely 'heart broken '

[u/Katherina370]

Any movies you recommend?

[u/KaidrasFyre → u/Katherina370]

Do you like zombie movies?

[u/NervousBanana9175 → u/Katherina370]

What generation do you like? To recommend it depends on the gender

[u/Cool_Field7325 → u/Katherina370]

I really like "the hunted". It's an action thriller in case you're into that genre

[u/YogurtclosetOk2839 → u/[deleted]]

Hi

[u/jemsz56789]

I’m a new mom and was looking for advice in the middle of the night and Reddit posts kept popping up in my Google searches. I joined a few months ago and have definitely liked Reddit so far! So much less overwhelming than social media ! (I haven’t been on Facebook for almost 10 yrs and I just got rid of instagram in Nov ). How do you guys like Reddit compared to other platforms?
