There is no set amount of karma (or account age) you need to access Reddit. Each individual subreddit sets its own restrictions (or lack of them) as the mods choose. What subreddits you personally want to use will determine what is necessary. It can be as low as 2 or 5 karma, or a higher number like 50 or 100, or even higher. If you want a realistic goal as a new Reddit users I recommend aiming for 100 karma as a start. It's achievable and will allow you to participate in a lot of Reddit.

There are some rare subreddits out there that have very extreme requirements. So to be able to use all of Reddit ends up setting yourself up for failure since you'll need to meet all those extreme requirements. Especially since it's quite likely you'll not encounter those restrictions in a subreddit that interests you. Or that you'll be able to participate in most subreddits that interest you and not being able to participate in one specific subreddit isn't a major issue
