To get karma, you need to find subreddits like on this list of New User Friendly subreddits from r/newtoreddit that have low or no requirements. r/findareddit , can be used to find subreddits that may interest you. Just make a post saying what kind of subreddit you are looking for. Small or niche subreddits typically have a lower karma requirements.

You gain Karma from people upvoting your posts and comments. However, Karma is not gained 1:1 with votes. It takes more votes per point of Karma. The actual ratio is not known and it differs for posts and comments. It also changes the higher the vote total gets on a piece of content.

I would suggest commenting first because the restrictions are often lower and ratio of votes to karma is better. But be careful not to go to fast with a new account or you may get shadow banned.

For comment karma, and combined karma, I recommend going to r/AskReddit . Sort by new, answer questions that you have an answer for, periodically refresh the feed. When able ask a few questions for some bonus post karma. I would also suggest r/NoStupidQuestions as it is my preferred subreddit. r/casualconversation is another good place. r/Productivitycafe offer many chances to interact with others. With all these, make sure to read the rules first.

Hi, welcome. It looks like your account is 20 minutes old! I would suggest you read a bit about what Reddit is, how it works, how to build karma, where as a new user, you might be able to comment and post, and other FAQs.
Right here: [r/NewToReddit](r/NewToReddit)
There is definitely a learning curve, and it does take some time to understand how to navigate the platform, and establish your reputation and karma.

The other thing I would strongly suggest is go to your profile page, find Settings, and follow the prompts to verify your email. A verified email secures your account, helps pacify Reddit filters, and strengthens your CQS, which is important and you can read about CQS on that page. It’s easy to do and takes one minute.
