Ask HN: How to Earn Karma on Reddit

2 points by codemap 2y ago

As you know, a new account can not allow you to post anything before you have enough karma.

What do you mean? Each subreddit can decide its own rules for posting. Where are you trying to post to? Have you read their rules? There are 2 types of karma on Reddit. Comment Karma and Post Karma. One is from making upvoted comments, the other from upvoted posts. If you require 10,20, or even 100 Comment Karma for your account before you're allowed to Post to a specific subreddit then you should start making useful comments around Reddit.

  Yeah, I read their rules. But I can not post anything in any subreddit, even r/NewToReddit. My posts are removed by Reddit's filters. I don't know why.

    Can you post a link to your profile? There may be an obvious issue.

If you have something worth saying that legit contributes to the subreddit, and your account still doesn't pass the set requirements, I personally got good success with contacting the mods and ask nicely, haven't been refused so far.
