That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Am I the only one that used Reddit till just recently and has no idea what coins or awards are, or what purpose they served?
No you're not. I mean, I know these things existed, but I had never made any effort to use them or even find out how they worked.
It's a lot like Duolingo I think. The core functionality of the product is there and is good, but they insist on shoving coins and gems and new avatars down your throat. I don't care! I just want to study a language or discuss a topic. Good lord.
I used reddit for almost 9 years and aside from reddit gold, I had no idea what the modern awards did / can't even see them on my (now depreciated) app.
It puts a small icon next to your name on your awarded post/comment.
That's all.
Third-party apps were forbidden from accessing the feature, as it was exclusive to their inner GraphQL API.
Before they killed r/pan, awards above the lowest level used to extend a streamer's time. They also give a period of Reddit Premium (i.e. ad-free, plus a few free coins to give awards yourself) - I've got about another year of that still from a few surprisingly successful streams I did.
Same here. I also have no idea wtf karma is to be honest.
when upvote, karma go up, when downvote karma go down, stupid system, downvotes are meant to represent disagreement, not always as something negative
Down votes are for off topic discussion not disagreement. They're specifically meant to not be used for disagreement.
Ok but... Who cares? I'm not a youtuber trying to get upvotes and subscriptions for an algorithm so I can get more ad revenue, why would I care about my karma score?
Many subreddits require up to 100 karma to post in them, so your first few weeks using Reddit would be a grind for karma until you reach a comfortable threshold.
that's exactly what i meant, maybe i typed it incorrectly
Because homo sapiens like amassing trinkets for trade with other tribe (with extra steps)
