Different subs have different rules and different formats on what they expect. Casually posting as you would in one thread might get you banned in another.

Here is a good example. As a new user signed up for an account and posted in a sub got a lot of replies but didn't come back for a few months. Tried replying and was forbidden because of low karma points. Never came back..

The reason why you as a long term reddit user are stumped is because your experience is different.

This is a core feature that distinguishes Reddit as a "Community of communities". It's not a bug, it's a feature

It's false barriers that setup this tribal mentality where you think you have ownership in a community that someone else owns. Many are discovering this week that their ownership is fleeting
