Reddit is one of the largest internet community platforms.It has great and familiar Reddit features we're using until today.But, the inability to change username may be a huge turn off for some.

Here's how to change Reddit username. Reddit is mostly used by anonymous around the globe, and picking a good username when registering a new Reddit account might not be the first thing that comes into your mind.After some good times using Reddit, you then think to change the username because you feel it's not the username you wanted to have. This is more difficult if you have gained a lot of karma.For those who don't know, karma means the number of the upvotes you gain from your posts or comments.

But, is karma really important in Reddit? The good news is that most of the time you just don't need it.The bad news, some subreddits don't allow you to post and start a conversation or discussion with all of the members inside, like r/memes, unless you have gained the number of karma requirement, which they don't tell how many. You can only comment, upvote, and downvote there.This usually applies to popular subreddits with millions of member.

Although the reason for that is makes sense, you might get dissapointed to start getting karma from 1 again. The karma requirement is used to prevent spammy posts by random, a fresh Reddit account that doesn't have a lot of karma to implies the account is genuine and has long experience of starting a great discussion with a lot of upvotes and engagement. But, if you want to sacrifice your Reddit karma, you can change your Reddit username by creating a new account.There's no another alternative for this solution.
