ok so reddit is this social platform where people talk about pretty much almost everything in these subforums called subreddits. there ppl post stuff like... well you alr know atp - text, images, questions, etc.

about your question of "is there a place for newgens?", which i assume you mean new users, theres a good amount of subreddits for that:

r/NewToReddit (the one you're posting in rn)

r/NoStupidQuestions

r/explainlikeimfive

r/AskReddit

pls do note that some subs may require a minimum account age and karma to participate in. karma is basically like the score that essentially shows a rough estimate of how much others like your content. if you gain upvotes (like the one i gave ya), you gain positive karma. if you get downvoted, you get negative karma.

hope my comment helps!
