There are two distinct ways to earn karma.
1. Submit links or things like Ask HN. Those submissions can get upvoted by others. You earn +0.5 on each upvote.
2. Comments. You earn +1 each time someone else votes up your comment.
You don't get any karma for voting on someone else's thing.
- ulrischa 3y agoSo submitting alone brings no point also there stands 1 point, right?
- latchkey 3y agoCorrect
- beardyw 3y agoIf I remember you do in fact get 1 karma just for commenting if you are below a certain karma level (in the 100s). This op should get that.
