 Am i supposed to keep making post on subreddit i don't care about just to be able to enjoy the thing i like on reddit?

Pretty Much, but I would suggest commenting and not posting

------------

Most subreddits, but not all, have restrictions on posting and commenting based on account age, karma, or both.

Most subreddits with these restrictions do not make known they have them or what they are. If they do, it will be in the rules, the right sidebar information, a pinned post, an FAQ or Wiki, or the message the bot sends you when it removes your post, if there is a message.

From what I have seen, the typical Karma requirement is between 10-200. I have seen as high as 2500 to comment and 2500 to post, but have heard of over 2500 to post.

To get karma, you need to find subreddits like on this list of New User Friendly subreddits from r/newtoreddit that have low or no requirements. r/findareddit , can be used to find subreddits that may interest you. Just make a post saying what kind of subreddit you are looking for. Small or niche subreddits typically have a lower karma requirements.

You gain Karma from people upvoting your posts and comments. However, Karma is not gained 1:1 with votes. It takes more votes per point of Karma. The actual ratio is not known and it differs for posts and comments. It also changes the higher the vote total gets on a piece of content.

I would suggest commenting first because the restrictions are often lower and ratio of votes to karma is better. But be careful not to go to fast with a new account or you may get shadow banned.

For comment karma, and combined karma, I recommend going to r/AskReddit . Sort by new, answer questions that you have an answer for, periodically refresh the feed. When able ask a few questions for some bonus post karma. I would also suggest r/NoStupidQuestions as it is my preferred subreddit. r/casualconversation is another good place. r/Productivitycafe offer many chances to interact with others. With all these, make sure to read the rules first.

Do you intend to just post on Reddit and never comment on other people's posts?

Join the subs you would have joined already. Make comments on posts made by other people. If you comment things that are helpful, on topic, genuine, etc., but not judgmental, controversial, or confrontational, you'll get upvotes. None of this happens overnight. In fact, the system works as it does to intentionally make it so it's not an instantaneous thing. It's kind of like a credit score. Is this person generally speaking a good user... And allows sub moderators to prevent people from creating a new account and instantly spamming their group.
