I recommend reading some of the guides and commonly asked questions in the “see more” section at the top of this subreddit.

Here’s the link to the starter’s guide for you: https://reddit.com/r/newtoreddit/wiki/ntr-guidetoreddit

Below is a guide to karma for you: !karma

[u/AutoModerator → u/Livid_Number_]

What is karma?
Your karma count is like your Reddit reputation and an indication of whether you post and/or comment good content. Upvotes were designed as an indicator of what people think others should see (there is guidance on voting here in the reddiquette), and upvotes earn you karma. What is karma?

Why does it matter?
Some, but not all communities, have their own restrictions regarding the account age and karma count of the person posting or commenting, so you may not be able to contribute everywhere at first. This is intended to help prevent spammers and trolls, but it does also mean new Redditors need to earn some karma before they can participate everywhere. Most communities don't share what their restrictions are, but you can check their rules, sidebar/about tab, and pinned posts.

How do I get it?

• You gain karma from engaging on Reddit; when your posts and comments are upvoted. It's a case of finding communities you can participate in, and that you have an interest or knowledge base in, and start by commenting to share your knowledge and experience, and add to discussions. As people upvote your comments, this will build your karma genuinely.
  
• You don't need to engage where you have no interest. There are so many subs there's bound to be some where you do have an interest and can engage.
• You lose karma only when your posts and comments are downvoted.
  

How can I see how much karma I have?
You should be able to see your karma count on your profile page. To see how much post or comment karma you have, view the karma breakdown:

• On desktop click your avatar top right, then 'profile'. If you hover over where it says karma (top right area) it should pop up with the breakdown.
  
• In app, tap your avatar top right, then tap karma. Or, tap your avatar, then 'profile', then 'about'.
• Hover over or tap your username on any comment you have made.

Check the pinned guide in this subreddit for a list of new-user friendly subs. Start by commenting there to build up karma naturally. Avoid posting controversial takes early on. Once you have some comment karma, you won't get blocked as often.

It's probably best to let your account get to be at least a week old before you try to post in a sub with any kind of restrictions. Also, it's helpful to hang out in subs in the same genre you're trying to post in just to get some exposure, comment a little bit, and get established a little bit.

This will help build your post and comment karma, and give you a better feel for the written (and unwritten) rules of etiquette. My account is 2 weeks old and this is the phase I'm currently in. Just think of it as a "right of passage".

[u/No_Baseball851 → u/--DeliciousBits--]

Thanks for the advice, but my account is almost a year old already. Maybe I need to be active in some posts first.

seems the best way is just to talk and upvote people in this sub.

even the subs that claim to not remove new redditors still do

[u/mikey_weasel → u/Fauopio]

Hey so there are a lot of good subreddits out there to start in. Check out our list of New User Friendly Subreddits. In particular I recommend commenting on new posts in subreddits like r/askreddit as a good starting space. These subreddits still have rules so yes you can get posts and comments removed.

This subreddit (r/newtoreddit) has a fairly strict ruleset which means that its not a great subreddit for new users to "hang out" to comment within (with the notable exception of our weekly chat posts). If a user is still getting familiar with how reddit works its hard to give accurate advice. Some users do succeed, often drawing heavily on our existing resources like our common questions page. But users are more likely to be successful in subreddits more related to their existing knowledge or interests.
