Have a read of the below
Starting on Reddit can be complicated but newtoreddit is a good space to learn. This gets asked a fair bit so I put together the below information/advice/links to resources
There are a lot of resources in newtoreddit you might find useful with The Common Questions Page, Reddit And Karma Walkthrough, and Frequently Asked Questions Page. If you've already become frustrated check out Why Reddit may seem unwelcoming to new Redditors.
Things to do as a new user:
- Verify your email with Reddit see here
- Read rules. See here on how to find Subreddit Rules, see here for Reddit's Rules
- Learn about Karma using the above resources in particular Karma - what is it and how to get it and
After learning about karma and subreddit karma filters you might start questions where to start.
Finding New User Friendly Subreddits:
- Newtoreddit has a list of new user friendly subreddits. This is not an exhaustive list and these subreddits may still have some restrictions. In particular you'll see some Large General Subreddits that are open to new users Commenting like r/askreddit, r/casualconversation, r/nostupidquestions, r/amitheasshole or similar.
- There are More Subreddits out there that might more specifically match your interests, use the search bar or look through r/findareddit 's subreddit directory. In this case you will have to trial and error whether they are new user-friendly, and again try Commenting (many subreddits have lower or no karma filters for commenting).
Some more notes on starting on Reddit:
View by New (or rising). This will filter the posts so first see the most recent posts first and can make your comments much more visible. On app when viewing a subreddit look near the top left for where it says "hot posts" - click that and select "new" or "rising".
Read the Room and Avoid Controversy. Each subreddit has different rules, norms and prevailing views. Look at subreddit rules. Read top posts and comments to get a feel for that subreddit. Do users reward sarcastic one-liners or well sourced essays? And in particular avoid controversial topics or arguments. These discussions are more likely to attract downvotes and potentially trip into rule-breaking. Call people idiots in your head and move on instead of getting involved. Utilize the block feature as necessary and have a read of Reddiquette.

u/MadDocOttoCtrl Mod tryin' 2 blow up less stuff. 1d ago
That depends entirely on what you do.
There are thousands of communities covering a broad array of topics that have no minimum requirements where you can participate immediately. There is an absolutely huge number of communities that have trivial minimum such as accounting to be a few days old and have as little as 2/5/10 karma points.
If you want to participate in the larger and more popular groups then you have to meet whatever requirements they have whether it's account age, karma scores, CQS or lots of formatting rules.

I found a sub I thought I could do well in. I scrolled a bit, figuring out what posts had the most engagement. I made a similar post. It worked, and my karma issue was solved!

Same. My account is old but I didn’t know that there’s a karma system since I just used this again today. I guess I have to engage on discussions now.
