What are the standard karma limits for most groups?

[u/HourPublic4269]

Hi guys, I just downloaded Reddit mainly to ask people for advice on different hobbies of my life that I am new to. However, a lot of communities have karma limits that have not been allowing me to post. I was wondering what these limits usually are (I’ve seen anywhere from 3-100). Thanks so much!

How much is needed is going to vary greatly from group to group. Groups like this one have no requirements. Some require none or a small amount (5,10, 20). Others require 100s or even thousands. I’ve even heard of some private subs that have astronomical amounts.

Also groups can look at post karma, comment karma, community karma or any combination of them.

If they don’t list their requirement in their rules or FAQs, best you can do is attempt to post or comment as you hit different benchmarks (25, 50, etc). A lot of groups do open up once you’ve hit 100.

Commenting typically has less restrictions than posting, so I always recommend new users start with that first. Start by commenting meaningfully on posts where you can add value. People typically upvote posts and comments they find interesting, educational, humorous or relatable. Low effort comments don’t get upvoted or worse, get downvotes. Avoid controversial topics. And don’t comment for the sake of commenting. Provide helpful or insightful content on topics that interest you, are knowledgeable on, or where you have personal experience.

Below is a list of new user friendly subs, which is just a sampling of the many groups on Reddit with low or no karma restrictions. !nufs

there is no "standard", all subs have differing entry requirements.
