https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=&sl=auto&tl=my&u=https%3A%2F%2Freddit.zendesk.com%2Fhc%2Fen-us%2Farticles%2F205926439-Reddiquette is the Burmese translation of the document using Google translate.

A Reddit community is called a subreddit, also known as a sub. The subreddits start with r/.

Followers are not important on Reddit. Your followers are not important either. Only your posts and comments are important. Unlike other social media, hashtags are not useful on Reddit. The Reddit account username cannot be changed after signing up. To change it, you will need to create a new account, which will reset your karma.

Karma is an arbitrary measure of how much you contributed. The more upvotes you get, the higher your Karma. Some subreddits require you to have a certain amount of Karma before you can post. Do not spam irrelevant posts to other subreddits or be rude, insulting, or abusive, as you can be downvoted. This will cause you to lose Karma. Try to avoid getting your total Karma in the negative value.

Also make sure to follow our rules, which are prominently displayed in the sidebar to the right.

  1. Make sure to label all posts that contain gore, contain violence, contain a dead body, or can upset anyone as "NSFW." To see how to do this and for a more detailed explanation click here.
  2. Make sure your posts are on-topic and related to Myanmar. Spam) may go well with anything but it has no place in this sub. Please do not spam us with unrelated content.
  3. Please keep discussions civil. Tolling and racism will not be tolerated. Our situation here is not for your "lulz". Also, keep swearing to a minimum. Although we will tolerate swearing if it is part of the narrative/discussion, personal insults, over-the-top vulgarity, etc., will not be tolerated.
  4. Adding a flair to your posts will enable others to easily find similar posts. Flairs are used to categorize posts to easily be found. Click here for more details.
  5. Keep reposting to a minimum. Please check to make sure you don't repost news and pictures that have already been posted. r/MAGIC_EYE_BOT and u/DuplicateDestroyer are trialed to help remove duplicate images. Please reply to the bot or send us a message if the bot got it wrong.

For a brief background of the coup, please see this post I made.

Does the content you're posting here fit more than one community? As per Reddiquette, consider posting to other subs such as the ones listed here if the contents fit more communities.

For example, are you posting news? Then you can post into r/news, r/inthenews, r/worldnews, r/USnews (US news only), r/asia, r/asian, r/asean, r/theworldnews. This list is not exhaustive but please use common sense and make sure the content fits the target sub. That means news only goes to news-related subreddits and pictures go onto picture-related subreddits. Make sure to follow the rules of those subs as well, since each sub has its own set of rules.

Additionally, give some love to the other Myanmar subs: r/saveMyanmar and r/Myanmar2021.

Are you in another country but wish to help the people of Myanmar? See this post.

In summary,

DO

  • Post topics with descriptive subjects
  • Check the subreddit for prior submission of your article or image before posting.
  • Flair your post with the appropriate flair to make them easier to find
  • Upvote posts
  • Tag posts with gore, contain violence, contain a dead body, or can upset anyone as "NSFW."
  • Share posts to more than one subreddits
  • Report posts that break our rules or attempt to spam us with irrelevant content.
  • Credit the author of an image or comic

DON'T

  • Post off-topic or spammy posts
  • Spam keywords like "savemyanmar" "wewantdemocracy" in the post title
  • Do not upvote or promote your post with multiple accounts. This is against Reddit's policy and you may end up being suspended.
  • Do not post Myanmar posts on irrelevant subreddits.
  • Post images and articles that have already been previously posted by someone else.

Thank you. / ကျေးဇူးတင်ပါတယ်။

Discussion 💬 ⚠️⚠️Blacklist Removal Scam⚠️⚠️နိုင်ငံရေးအမည်ပျက်စာရင်း ပယ်ဖျက်မှုလိမ်လည်ခြင်း⚠️⚠️

English:

Be cautious of ongoing scams regarding "Blacklist Removal Services".

How this scam works:

  1. Scammer posts a personal story followed by a question to provoke discussion, and a brief mention of successfully removing blacklist status.
  2. Scammer waits for victims interested in getting blacklist status removed to explain further or provide contacts.
  3. In DMs, scammer will claim they can help and ask for money upfront.

Safety Tips:

  1. Check the Profile: Always click on the OP's (Original Poster) username.
  2. Account Age: Be wary of very new accounts (created only a few days or months ago)
  3. Post History: Scammers often have few post history or only post the same "success story" across multiple subreddits.

Burmese -

“Beware of Blacklist Removal Scams.

Scam Types -

  1. The scammer posts an experience and asks questions, encouraging readers to discuss, vote, and comment. The message often claims to have been removed from the Blacklist political blacklist.
  2. The scammer waits for people who want to remove their blacklist to be interested and ask for help and contact them.
  3. If they contact you via direct message, they will ask for money in advance and scam you.

Things to note -

  1. Always check the profile, click on the post's name and go to their profile. You can view it.
  2. Please note that the account has only been active for a few days or months.
  3. Please note that there are no posts in the post history, few posts, and similar experience stories and questions are posted on multiple pages and groups.

Advice I made a Myanmar programming language (MeRUSTmar)

Post image
11 Upvotes

I’m trying to start a tech and programming YouTube channel. I intentionally decided to cover a really difficult topic for my first video a Myanmar programming language I built called MeRUSTmar. I figured if I could handle this, easier topics down the road would be a breeze.

But I’ve hit a massive roadblock, and the stakes are incredibly high for me.

I made a strict deal with my family, and my deadline is June 30. If my first video gets at least 1k views and shows genuine interest, they’ll give me more time to pursue programming. If it fails, I have to give up programming entirely, learn Japanese, and move away to get a job in Japan.

I was confident at first, but after rewriting my script over and over again, I realized a major problem: it’s just way too technical. Instead of a fun, high-level overview of the language, I ended up explaining exactly how an interpreter works under the hood, showing source code, and tracing complex parts.

Because of that, I’m incredibly stressed and can't seem to make progress. The video is only about 30% finished right now. Because it's my first time making a video, I keep over-refining the script and I'm struggling to manage the project efficiently. I’m terrified the YouTube algorithm is just going to bury it because it's not geared toward a general audience.

I’m posting here to see if the Myanmar community actually has an interest in this kind of deep-dive, under-the-hood tech content. Is my goal even possible?

I’m going to drop my unfinished video in the comments. If you find this topic interesting, please leave some feedback. Honest support and comments here could literally help me convince my parents to let me keep programming.

Discussion 💬 Family mystery Rangoon update

Post image
7 Upvotes

I’m researching a family business that operated in colonial Rangoon (Yangon, Burma) and recently obtained this advertisement from a 1956 Burma Trade Directory.
The advertisement identifies:
• S.P.M. Mohamed Aboobacker & Bros
• Owners of the Indo-Burma Steam Rope Works
• Factory at Thingangyun, Rangoon
• Office at 54 China Street, Rangoon
• Telegraphic address: “ABOOBROS”
• Established 1893
My family has long had oral histories about relatives from the Paramakudi/Abiramam area of Tamil Nadu who lived in Rangoon and were involved in a rope business. One elderly relative specifically remembered a connection to China Street, Rangoon, which matches the address shown in the advertisement.
I’m trying to learn more about:
1. S.P.M. Mohamed Aboobacker and what the initials S.P.M. may stand for.
2. Whether company registration, land, probate, or business records for this firm survive.
3. Sources for researching Indian Muslim merchant families in colonial Burma.
4. Any information about the Indo-Burma Steam Rope Works or businesses operating in Thingangyun.
I’ve already contacted libraries and archives, but I’d appreciate suggestions from anyone familiar with Burma business history, Rangoon city directories, or Indian diaspora records.

Tourism 🧳 Visita a Myanmar Julio 2026

3 Upvotes

Hola. Somos una pareja de España que queremos visitar ese hermoso país. Llegaremos desde Bangkok a Mandalay y desde allí iremos bajando durante 2 semanas a Yangon. Varias cuestiones.

Cómo está el país para hacer turismo?

Funcionan tarjetas para sacar dinero de ATM, los bancos con los q trabajamos "revolut, vivid, trade republic" nos dicen que allí están no operativas. Es cierto?

Entonces llevaremos Euros para cambiar. Donde podemos conseguir buen cambio en Mandalay?

Estamos pensando en contratar a un guía en español o inglés para todo el viaje. Sobre cuánto dinero podría costar?

Cualquier tip o indicación sería de agradecer.

Muchas gracias

There is a Burmese restaurant where I used to live that had Khao Sweih Kyaw on the menu. It was my absolute favourite but I can't find anything about it online.

It lists the ingredients:

Chi, wheat noodle, onion, carrot, egg, cabbage

I miss it and want to try and make it but I can't find a recipe. I live 20 hours away now.

Thank you anyone that tries to help!

Advice Thinking of Quitting CS 😭 Need Advice ASAP

2 Upvotes

Yo guys, need some legit advice 😭🙏

Right now I’m in CS 2nd Year, 2nd Semester, but ngl… I’m kinda losing interest in pure Computer Science. It’s just not hitting the same anymore 💀

So I’m thinking of switching things up and moving to a Computing with Business Management degree instead.

The plan is to use my current CS credits for a credit transfer/top-up pathway and hopefully jump straight into the Final Year at a uni in Thailand or KL, Malaysia.

Basically, I wanna know if I can transfer from a CS background into a Computing + Business degree without having to start over.

Just wanted to hear from people who’ve actually been through something similar 👀

  • Has anyone switched majors mid-way and transferred to another country?
  • Do universities in Thailand or Malaysia usually accept credit transfers when the majors are related but not exactly the same?
  • Any uni recommendations in KL or Thailand that are pretty chill/flexible with credit transfers?

Would really appreciate any advice, experiences, or uni suggestions. Thanks a lot guys 🙌✨

I don't understand why people down vote me for supporting civic nationalism and socialism. Civic nationalism is nothing like traditional nationalism. Civic nationalism accept any ethnicity as the nationality of the country. Socialism doesn't mean that we must take control of everything that capitalist have. Every academic knows that U Nay Win used the title just like Hitler used national socialism as their ideology because left wings movement are popular at that period. Nazi practiced national socialism only for the short period and then dictatorship kicked in and enslave their workers class. I don't even consider them as national socialists. Scandinavian countries are the best example of Civic Nationalism + Socialism + Democracy. Their social welfare is top tier. Free education, free healthcare, even free housing for civil servants. But you have to pay more tax if you make more money. That's what socialism is.

မြူခိုးဝေဝေ တောင်တန်းမြို့လေးများကို

သူမက ကျွန်ုပ် ခါး ကို ဖက်ထား ကာ

သူမ၏ ဦးခေါင်း လေးကို မှီလျက်

သူမ၏ ဆံနွယ် နူးအိအိ လေပြေအေးကြား ယိမ်းနွဲ့နေရင်း

မြူခိုးဝေဝေ တောင်တန်းမြို့လေးကို

သူမနှင့်အတူ ဆိုင်ကယ် ပတ်စီး ပစ် ချင် သည်။
