Unable to create a subreddit

Reddit Help

If you find yourself unable to create a subreddit, this may be because your Reddit account is too new or you’re not very active on the site. Before you create a new community, your account should be at least 30 days old and have a minimum amount of positive “karma.” (The exact amount of karma isn’t prohibitively high, but we keep it a secret to prevent spam.)

If you don’t currently meet the criteria to create a subreddit, the best thing to do is be patient and get involved in some existing communities that interest you by commenting or posting. We want to ensure that users take some amount of time getting to know how Reddit works before creating communities, but once you’ve established yourself as an active member of the site, you’ll be able to create a community.
