I just started using Reddit last week, and I don't really know how to use it. I understand the basics but I don't understand subreddits and how to post to subreddits, how do people see my post etc. I LOOKS TOO CONFUSING!
Does any here use Reddit?

It takes quite a bit to get used to, as it's very different to forums. Also it can be quite harsh if you don't follow the rules so make sure you read them or you will probably get banned the first post you make. I'd suggest not to post any of your own links or text posts in a subreddit until at least 1 week or reading and responding to others posts. Also treat every subreddit as a completely different thing, they will have different rules and moderators.
Which subreddit are you trying to post to?

It's archaic design is on purpose just for that reason. It weeds out people that might spam the site (though it doesn't weed EVERYTHING out.) Once you get use'd to the layout, Reddit is a very informative site, full of current events, news, games, funny stuff, and all sorts of things. You can even customize your Front Page to show subreddits that you really enjoy. (Ex. I'm subbed to /r/Halo, /r/MassEffect, /r/drums...) and it will show you everything from those subreddits.
I even have my own subreddit where I post my new videos and news for charity events! /r/BigTinyTimTim

Yes i agree Reddit can be harsh if you over dose and don't follow the rules!
Reddit is confusing, but a super powerful platform that makes content and drama and such go viral. Even if it's something stupid. Haha.
I don't know much about it, but there is a lot of hate on there and that can lead to a YouTube video getting a lot of hate comments, but some good too depending on the type of person they are.

I for myself will never understand Reddit whatsoever. I mean I get the subreddits and how that works but the site is just so confusing nevertheless!
It's a bit of a confusing system since sub owners can tweak their page's script and make it function completely different from other subs. Just keep exploring for a while and you'll get it.
