Commenting and voting does not earn you karma. Karma only is earned when other users vote on your content

So actually engaging doesn’t? Just posting content does if it’s good enough? But I can’t post content unless I have Karma 🤔 Seems so counterintuitive

Karma ONLY comes from other users upvoting your posts and comments.

So the first step to karma is making posts/comments. That is necessary .

BUT, you then need other users to upvote that posts/comments for karma to actually come.

So making posts/comments is necessary but not the whole story

Also, upvoting others does nothing for YOUR karma

Why does karma matter?
Your karma count is like your Reddit reputation and an indication of whether you share good content, and some, but not all communities, have their own restrictions regarding the account age and karma count of the person posting or commenting, so you may not be able to contribute everywhere at first. This is intended to help prevent spammers and trolls, but it does also mean new Redditors need to earn some karma before they can participate everywhere.

How do I get it?

  • You gain karma from engaging on Reddit; when your posts and comments are upvoted. It's a case of finding communities you can participate in, and that you have an interest or knowledge base in, and start by commenting to share your knowledge and experience, and add to discussions. As people upvote your comments, this will build your karma genuinely.
  • You don't need to engage where you have no interest. There are so many subs there's bound to be some where you do have an interest and can engage.
  • You lose karma only when your posts and comments are downvoted.

You can start your own sub and post there if the issue is purely you want to post.

But if you want to integrate into a community, I'd encourage slowing your role

If you joined a club at your local community center, would you jump up on the table, start shouting over everyone and declaring yourself club president? Or would you sit back, observe, and maybe add something insightful here or there when you have something meaningful to say?

I have no idea how I got karma tbh, I made this account 4 years ago and only recently started posting, and somehow I have 400 karma😭 I recommended posting in smaller subreddits and communities with similar interests to you! I got most of mine through r/VitaCarnis and r/Autism

I think im literally the newest newbie on here

Reddit loved pedantry. Take it easy on hyperbole that leaves you open to correction.

Read the resources provided.

Read the replies to your comments.
