  • Most subreddits will have a karma requirement or account age

  • New users have limitations to where they can post with low karma/low account age. You need to build up your karma to be able to post in more subs.

    Karma is like your reputation score on Reddit. Karma comes from upvotes (or downvotes) on your posts and comments from other users. Casting votes does not affect your karma score.

    Start in some of these subs, they have low to no karma minimum- https://reddit.com/r/newtoreddit/wiki/index/newusersubs

    Find some subreddits that interest you and make some helpful comments on newer posts. Join a discussion and politely offer your opinion. Be kind and remember that there are people on Reddit from all over the world. After some time and upvotes, you’ll be able to post in more subs.
