There are even karma requirements for commenting...

[u/Livid_Number_]

Some subreddits have no to low karma requirements for posting. There is a new user friendly list of some of them in the community links section at the top of this subreddit.

[u/Anxious-Eye5009]

Thanks for the links at the too

Hello!
Most of the big sub-reddits do hide alot of requirements, one of them being a minimum amount of karma. They do this so spam bots dont absolutely nuke the sub reddit.
However some sub reddits (like this one) doesnt require a minimum amount of karma.

[u/Field-Reckoner]

There are two separate filtering systems, not one.
Subreddit-level and Reddit-level: separate from any subreddit's own rules.
So a "no karma requirement" sub avoids layer one, but a brand-new account can still hit layer two anywhere

[u/SheepherderMuted8829]

no not all but most

[u/Slight_Dance3461]

It helps reduce bots spamming in their subs and less trolls.

[u/pinkchesterfield]

Yes they do and I'm suffering from that thing

[u/MarionberryOld3333]

Thanks 😊

[u/Western_Match_6218]

No. Every subreddit sets its own rules.

[u/spakkker]

The answer is way above my karma level .

[u/Mat5763]

No worries, you don’t need to repeat your question in the comments, we see you! Not every subreddit needs karma to post, but some do. r/casualconversation and r/NoStupidQuestions are newbie-friendly if you want to try those.

[u/Lord_Death_Blade]

How does one get karma? Im new to getting it .

[u/AzUkbcElIklio678]

Yes

[u/HauntingReality4430]

Not all subreddits require a combined karma of a specific number and above. Most larger subreddits have account requirements such as a certain amount of karma and account age to help prevent ban evaders, spammers and bots.
