Choosing where to post
For beginner questions, r/relationship_advice is the natural first stop — it exists for advice, and roughly 768 new threads a day keep it moving. Rule sets vary: of the communities we have rules for, r/relationship_advice lists 11, against 6 in r/relationships, so a post that is fine in one can be removed in another.
Big subreddits give a post the widest audience, but they also bury it quickly; the mid-sized communities on this list are usually friendlier for questions and first posts. Always read the rules in the sidebar first — each community is run by its own volunteer moderators. Our guide to searching Reddit explains how to dig through any of these communities, and the subreddit info tool gives you the stats of one we don't list.
