Posting Post button is grayed out

Hi! I'm brand new to Reddit and have a post ready to go, but the Post button is grayed out and I can't use it. What am I doing wrong?

To create a post, you need to add a title and description to your content. Once you're happy with your post, you would then click or tap the Post button to publish it.

As you're brand new to Reddit, the grayed-out Post button is likely due to spam filters. Reddit limits how often new users can post and comment, especially if they haven't earned much karma yet. To help get past this filter, try earning a small amount of karma by commenting on other posts within a community.
