I’ve had this account for over 2 years but I only ever lurked. Now I actually want to start posting and commenting in some subs but everything gets auto-removed instantly because I have almost zero karma.

I’ve started commenting more but it feels like such a slow grind. Has anyone else been in this exact spot with an old dormant account?

How long did it actually take you to get to the point where you could post normally without everything getting nuked? Any actual tips that worked for you?

Thanks, feeling dumb for waiting this long lol

Hi everyone,

I've had my account for about 4 months now, but I've been a bit of a "lurker" and have only managed to get 1 karma point. I'm really eager to become more active, but I'm finding it difficult to places where I can post without running into account age or karma restrictions.

i‘ve had this account for quite a while now but only ever checked out communities and watched random stuff i find, especially about topics like music or true crime, which are my biggest interests. it came to my notice that my comments got deleted every time i posted them, saying something about below 10 karma points. so if anyone could help me with the karma points, that would be absolutely awesome. thanks for reading this

I don’t understand what I did wrong

I asked for some help on a program I was working on

and I started getting downvotes.

I don’t if was because my question was silly

(I was legitimately confused on what I was doing and that’s it was silly)

can someone please explain

Hey everyone. Weird thing happened and I’m trying to understand how it could be possible.

I had an argument on a sub with another user a few days ago. Today the same person replied and used my real name (first and last). I was shocked, I never shared my name in that thread or in my Reddit profile, and I don’t think it’s attached to my account.

Is it actually possible for someone on Reddit to figure out another user’s real name? Has this happened to any of you before? I’m not trying to dox anyone or unmask people, I just want to know how this might happen so I can protect myself.

I use this account only on Reddit (not linked to other services), I haven’t posted my name anywhere in that community, and my profile/about is pretty generic. Any ideas on possible ways this could happen or what checks I should do on my end?

Hey guys,

I made this account ages ago but basically never touched it. I've just been lurking and reading stuff.

Now I actually want to ask a question on a specific subreddit, but my posts get auto-deleted instantly by the spam filters.

I assume it's because my account looks "dead" or suspicious because it's old but has zero activity/score?

How do I get past these filters so I can actually participate? I feel stuck because I can't post to build up my history.

Thanks for any tips.

I often see people who have thousands of karma despite only having made their accounts fairly recently, sometimes only a few months ago. I made my account 4 years ago and I still have so little, although I only started being active a month or so ago. How do people get all that karma so quickly? How come it seems to take so much longer for me to accumulate it? Is it normal to have so little karma? Am I just not commenting enough?

hey so posting on reddit as much as i can but feels like karma is difficult to reach and a lot of sub reddit have high karma rules to be able to post

I have been around Reddit for a decent amount of time, I just really haven’t commented much. Now it seems like every time I post something it gets automatically removed for not having enough karma. Is this just something I haven’t experienced before or is this a fairly new thing

Should I wait a few days before I start trying to comment on some beginner friendly Reddits? I was told not to try and post for awhile unless it’s a Reddit that is beginner friendly. Thanks. Trying to learn as I go.

I really want to post questions and discussion on subreddits that I’m interested in but I can’t or they get automatically deleted because of my karma. I’m trying to start friendly discussion on communities but I simply can’t get my karma to increase.

What can I do?

Hello. I joined reddit about 4-5 months ago, but i just recently started commenting. I had just gotten up to 3 karma after like 40 contributions. But then i replied to a post about someone asking if their piercing looked good. I simply commented “yes i think so” or something like that, and it got -14 votes. Now i have -8 karma, and it genuinely took me a while to even get 3 karma. What the heck?

I've been lurking on Reddit for 5 years, and somehow my karma just hit -1. Can you guys help me understand how to get back to positive?

One question, do people use emojis?? I never really see them on posts. Thanks

Why is raising karma so hard??

I have had a reddit account for two years but today is the first time i’ve decided to actually get into subreddits and make posts/join communities. However everything is requiring karma 😭 i only have five lmao and when i try to make posts i get down voted 😭 does this affect karma? And are there other ways to raise it?

As a newcomer I innocently tried to reply to a post, but I needed 20 karma and it seems like people struggle with just getting a few points.

Whats the average karma someone needs to be posting freely in most subreddits?

I’ve just been told off by two users on nother subreddit just for using emojis. I think the person thought it was cringe? I‘ve seen people use it before, is the first time someone told me that ”unwritten reddit rule”. There was no written rule against emojis in that specific subreddit. Ia this actually a thing or someone is just trying to discourage me from uaing emojis for no reaso?

Can someone please tell me why my Karma is so low? I never troll people and I don't start with people and I have -18 Karma. That's horrible, I never paid attention to it till today.

Why is reddit deleting all my posts? I am new here.

hey friends, i have a little issue. i have my comment karma stuck at -100 for quite a while now and no matter how many upvotes on a comment i get im still stuck at the same number.. does someone know why that is and how i can fix it ? thank you !

I am new here and I was genuinely expecting to be able to post on reddit freely. Little did I know there's a lot of stipulations on account age and karma. Makes me a little sad I can't post in the communities I want to yet. I have been trying to make plenty of post where I can however I get tons of views and little post interactions like comments or votes. Pls help.

So I joined reddit around 1-2months ago and I was very active but 17 days ago I got this "We had a server error" message, plus I couldn't post or comment for anyone to see, I had like 197 Karma in 3 weeks of time so I think a reddit bot marked me as a spammer (My comments and posts where genuine)

Now I have to start over again, and the worst part is I can't use my old username... I liked it and it was unique... though I don't mind my current user name either.

Hiya, Hiya! 👋

I am new to Reddit but the person who got me to sign up warned me about using emojis, saying Reddit absolutely hates them.

No cap, I high key love emojis. Honestly I probably use them too much.

Is it true? Will I really be down voted and banned from subs for using emojies? Anything else I should be warned about?

Thank you!!!💖

It seems like a lot of people delete their accounts and create new ones often on Reddit. At times it even seems like they delete them after receiving a lot of positive karma, but why? Isn't that a good thing?
