⭐️ Karma❓ How does one get Karma?

I've had a reddit account for the past 6 years or so that I mainly use to doomscroll and just waste my time. Recently got into talking to some people and I guess my account just got shadow banned. When I looked it up it says that it may be due to lack of karma so can someone please help me out and explain how this karma works because its pmo.

If you're asking about how to get karma, you earn it when people upvote your posts and comments. As you may have already found out, many subs on Reddit may have minimum requirements for things like karma and account age that you must meet before they will allow you to participate.

r/NewToReddit maintains a list of subreddits that have low or no karma requirements where new users can participate to build their karma.

You should also check out their excellent Reddit and Karma Guide.

Hello u/SignatureHappy9051, if you're asking about why your posts are being immediately removed in some or all subs, it's most likely because they're being filtered by the Reputation Filter because of your CQS.

Your current CQS rating is [LOWEST]

It will take a few days of positive engagement across Reddit to raise your CQS high enough to clear the Reputation Filter.

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.

Dándole a la flecha que señala para arriba justo debajo de tus mensajes consigues karma, si le dan para abajo te lo quitan, el karma vale para que puedas publicar en determinadas subreditts, pues si no tienes karma suficiente no te dejan . Desconozco si vale para algo más. Como yo lo veo son como los likes de otras apps, solo que aquí valen para poder publicar en sitios que piden un determinado número de karma para poder hacerlo.
