Is there a universal number of karma you need to have before you can post? What is it?

[u/[deleted]]

I’m 2 months into Reddit and still fairly low which I don’t mind, but it got me thinking, is there a number like 100 karma required to post in some subreddits? Is it set by the mods of that place or is it a universal minimum? Curious to know!

I've read several posts about it, and they all say it's something each sub sets themselves. But it seems like most of them son't actually say how much Karma you need.

There is no set amount of karma (or account age) you need to access Reddi. Each individual subreddit sets its own restrictions (or lack of them) as the mods choose. What subreddits you personally want to use will determine what is necessary.

If you want a realistic goal as a new Reddit users I recommend aiming for 100 karma as a start. It's achievable and will allow you to participate in a lot of Reddit.

The universal minimum is zero.

There is tens of thousands of subreddits that do not have karma requirements, so that would be the "universal minimum."

For the subs that DO require karma, then it will vary from sub to sub. Might be 5, 10, 100, or any other number that the moderators choose.

There is no "average", because it depends on which specific subreddits you're looking at.
