Difference between post and comment karma

Do posts get removed because of just low post karma? If so, then it's pretty unfair. I think that it makes sense to delete posts from people who never commented or posted anything (since they could be bots or something, idk). However, it would make sense to let people with high comment karma post.

Shadow bans on new members?

I came back to reddit after a long absence. Made a new account to start fresh (and for privacy reasons). I've tried posting, and most of my posts have gotten no comments, upvotes or downvotes. I'm not sure what to make of that. Is there some kind of shadow ban on new redditors? Maybe an anti spam thing? I remember reddit being a lot more vibrant before, every post I did got some sort of response

Is this real? What can I do about it?

Is it normal that they ask you for a lot of karma?

I've been in communities for a while to see some things and I just want to compensate by making a post but when I want to, they ask me for a lot of karma, is that normal? I know it's to avoid spam, but is it normal for them to ask for so much?

How much Karma to post on reddit?

Have just created a new account, but my posts keep being removed. Is it because I dont have enough karma or just write very long messeges?

Account age and karma rules

So in some reddit subs, it is stated that the account age must be 48 hours or so. In this case, does karma matter?

What’s the amount that gives you enough momentum?

I’ve restarted my account because it seems like my account stalls out at some point and I don’t see any way to keep growing karma.

Bhai koi mujhe btayega ki reddit pe karma kaise milta hai aur ye karma kis kaam me aata hai.

Dosto, mujhe Reddit ke baare me zyada knowledge nahi hai, lekin maine suna hai ki yahan "Karma" ek important cheez hoti hai. Aap log mujhe samjha sakte ho ki ye karma hota kya hai, kaise milta hai, aur iska use kya hai?

Main apni baat clear karne ke liye kuch specific sawaal pooch raha hoon:

  1. Karma milta kaise hai?
  2. Karma ka use kya hai?
  3. Kya karma earn karna important hai?

Main naye users ke liye helpful tips bhi lena chahunga. Agar kisi ke paas aisi koi tricks ya advice ho jisme zyada karma earn kiya ja sake, to please share karein.

Mujhe lagta hai ki Reddit ek unique platform hai, lekin beginners ke liye thoda confusing bhi ho sakta hai. Isliye, agar aap experienced Reddit users hain, to apne experiences share karke help karein.

Shukriya Advance me! Apke Answers ka Intezar Rahega.

New here :) Commented to a mean post, asked to be nicer and got 6 downvotes because it was different than what others like to hear. Can’t post anything with -6 Karma points. What’s the point of this if we have to write what others wanna hear.

I wanna stay true to myself and be honest and kind as always.

Is Reddit a good platform for job hunting?

I’ve been new here for quite some time now and I see multiple job hunting users here and I just want to ask this to those who are not so new here. Is this good app to use for that purpose?

What's a better subreddit to ask questions?

I've read some subreddit rules and I am a bit confused.

There's information I want to find or I want to ask for tips on something, where the tips/advices could be anything and I did think of asking one subreddit, til I read the rules, did some overthinking, backed out.

It says the post was automatically deleted due to lack of karma, but if you look at the View statistics, there are about 20 Views, what happened?

Why am I suddenly getting

My account is 20 days old. Yesterday, I got 3 requests to ch a t. Today I got another.

One of those requests was from an account created yesterday. It's kinda creepy. Is this normal? It doesn't feel normal.

Today's request is from a community member I have never interacted with and the other person doesn't appear to have been active on this site for 2 months.

100 karma seems like a lot

It's so hard to reach it, and a lot of subreddits require 100 just to post.

How to get started here on Reddit?

I often wonder how can I get started here if most subreddits require your account to have at least 30 days old, and many of them require you to have a certain amount of Karma in order to post or even comment. How will I acquire Karma if I can't actually do anything?

Why is Reddit karma needed for joining subreddits?

I'm new to reddit and I just want to interact/post in subreddits that interest me. All of them have a Karma requirement. It seems to take a lot of effort just to get the karma needed for joining subreddits. Why do subreddits have a karma restriction?

Karma on different subreddits

With Karma, how do I determine how much Karma I need to be able to post on certain subreddits. Is there a way for me to see this without messaging people?

Ngl I'm pretty confused here

I try to engage with people posts and leave positive comments but sometime I feel like the site punishes you for actually using it. I want to enjoy the site but it a little discouraging.

What does it mean to have a "Established Reputation" on Reddit? Why does some sub-reddit's require it?
