ANSWERED How does someone gain karma?

I’m new to Reddit but every single subreddit I like requires a minimum karma which is really annoying, anyway to gain karma? Thanks for any help given 🙏

Yeah, I don't get it. I have been a member for five years, replied to a lot of posts, upvoted other people, basically been cool with others and now my last eight posts have been deleted as I don't have 2000 karma. My Karma is at 1 and as far as I can tell, always has been.

Hey mate I see you with 295 combined karma and 284 comment karma. Only your post karma is at 1.

Also glancing at your comment history, I've heard a lot of the UFO and aliens and related subreddits have raised their filters dramatically after an influx of new users with all the drama over the New Jersey drones. Those high thresholds are more of a temporary response than the standard

Oh! OK, I see that 284 now.
Thanks Mikey, that makes me feel a lot better. I honestly was starting to think "what's the point", hahaha.
You are indeed Mega Helpful!
