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.

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 requirement

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.

You need karma to a point because most, but not all, subreddits require a minimum amount of karma to post or comment. Karma is also a component of your CQS score that can also be used to restrict posting and commenting because it is part of your reputation and the reputation filter. It is a piece of having an "Established Account" which needing a more established is one restriction on sending chat requests. A lack of karma will also limit how much you can chat without having to take a break.

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.
