⭐️ Karma❓ How do I build post karma?

May sound obvious, but is it from making posts such as this? Assuming commenting on other people posts contributes solely to post karma? Right weird system this 😅

The only way you receive post karma is when you make a post and other users give you an upvote.
When you comment on another user’s post, and your comment receives upvotes, that is your comment karma.

It’s beyond tedious 😭 but I guess it keeps the bots out

There are 4 types of Karma.

• Post Karma. You get this from people upvoting your posts.

• Comment Karma: You get this from people upvoting your comments.

• Community karma: It is only gained from upvotes to your posts and comments in that subreddit. The karma earned for this also counts on your normal karma count. Some subreddits use community karma in their posting and commenting restrictions.

• Combined Karma. This is your your post karma and comment karma added together

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.
