This document provides tips on avoiding spam on Reddit, including: - Carefully submitting your own content at an appropriate rate (no more than 10% self-promotion). - Engaging with communities by commenting and replying to others rather than just submitting links. - Submitting relevant links to appropriate communities and avoiding off-topic or excessive submissions. - Checking if submissions are being downvoted and avoiding continued submissions in that case.
