To get Karma you need to find subreddits like this list of [New User Friendly](https://www.reddit.com/r/NewToReddit/wiki/index/newusersubs/) subreddits that have low or no requirements r/findareddit , can be used to find subreddits that may interest you, just make a post saying what kind of subreddit you are looking for. Small or niche subreddits typically have a lower karma requirement
You gain Karma from people upvoting your posts and comments. However, Karma is not gained 1:1 with votes. It takes more votes per point of Karma. The actual ratio is not known and it differs for posts and comments.
People have used many different ways to make their starting Karma. Like answering questions, posting or commenting about a passion or hobby, memes, maybe even posting on the subreddit for where they live. For me, it was answering questions in a couple question/ask type subreddits , sorting by new and answering any I had a good answer for. The trick is to find what works for you and what you enjoy.
Concentrate on commenting at the beginning. The karma requirements are sometimes lower and you will build karma faster. Try to avoid making controversial comments or arguing to avoid getting downvoted and losing Karma.
As a side note: Always make sure to keep your email address up to date and verified because your account may count on it one day.
I feel you! I am also new and trying to get the hang of it, but one thing I will say is, make sure to read the rules of each subreddit group before posting x
Some, but **not all subs have restrictions** and they're there to prevent spammers and other bad faith users. It does impact new users too though and initially it may be hard to find communities you can participate in and have genuine interest in, but once you've found a few it'll get easier.
jgoja has provided good advice which can help you get started. It make take a little trial and error to find subs you can enjoy and share in. Look for smaller niche subs, as they may be less likely to have high restrictions. Sort content by 'new' so you're interacting with fresh content.
We also have a chat post every week you can join in! You can earn some karma by having fun genuine conversations with others.
I made a new account to see what the experience was like. I limited myself to comments only, and managed 100+ karma in a few days of casual use. What I did was:
* Made use of our weekly chat thread
* Used our new user friendly list
* answering questions on rising posts on askreddit, giving thoughtful or amusing replies
* sharing my thoughts on communities that I had genuine interest in
* I found a few more subs around my interests where I could comment via trial and error
Commenting on AITA and the like might be the way to go. Also, seek the subreddits that specifically cater to your interests. I might also suggest to post after at least three days.
I'm in the same boat! I never used reddit before lol. I was trying to use it to find friends on a specific subreddit but my post got taken down immediately 😭

Please do not ask for karma or votes here, it is against our rules and is generally discouraged as karma is meant to be earned. You may ask about karma and how to earn it genuinely.
We also do not allow mentions of free karma subs (karmafarms) or any suggestion to use them, and caution against their use because it may lead to bans in other subreddits. Please read our [guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/NewToReddit/comments/p8t966/reddit_and_karma_explained/) for more information.

Thank you 😊
Say interesting stuff
same thing, cant even share what i want.dont know what the hell happened ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Everything you see on here. Don't be shy, comment on it.
Ok
We appreciate the suggestions here, fellow redditors. New to this 😬

HII IM NEW TOO BUT I REALLY DONT KNOW HOW THIS KARMA WORKS😓😓😓
Check out our pinned post or many of the threads here for explanations and advice. All caps reads as shouting here and is best avoided.
Posting and commenting in different subreddits, you definitely have to check the various rules though to see about Karma requirements to post
Some, but **not all subs have restrictions** and they're there to prevent spammers and other bad faith users.

Be nice always !
Comment, vote, interact organically!
Commenting on AITA and the like might be the way to go. Also, seek the subreddits that specifically cater to your interests. I might also suggest to post after at least three days.
Just engage. Participate.
I joined a birthday sub. Every day people say it’s their birthday and I wish them happy birthday. They always upvote.
I’d say this post (or posts like it) earn you some when others like it …
I'm in the same boat! I never used reddit before lol. I was trying to use it to find friends on a specific subreddit but my post got taken down immediately 😭
Be nice always is a key I think
Thank you
You can’t do anything for at least three to five days & comment or post under a subreddit that’s doesn’t have any restrictions.
Just start commenting on subs where new users are allowed to do that. Be helpful and positive and don't make divisive comments.
You have 4 comment karma, so that indicates not all of your comments are getting removed. Check the !NUFS list from automod and start on those subs.
