I just made a new account on Reddit because I didn't like my old account name and wanted to actually get into posting. I didn't see any progress last night, like 2 karma, but I had a hit post today, and it felt so nice to see people engaged with what I posted. Am I on the right track?

I really want to maximize the use of my account 😢

I’ve had this account for over 2 years but I only ever lurked. Now I actually want to start posting and commenting in some subs but everything gets auto-removed instantly because I have almost zero karma.

I’ve started commenting more but it feels like such a slow grind. Has anyone else been in this exact spot with an old dormant account?

How long did it actually take you to get to the point where you could post normally without everything getting nuked? Any actual tips that worked for you?

Thanks, feeling dumb for waiting this long lol
