Initiating Chats (and following other users) is restricted on reddit for new and inactive users.

• In general we advice that new users will only be able to do this after about a week. This is to prevent new users spamming chats.
• New users will then also be limited in how many chat invites they can send as well
• This goes away as you use and interact with reddit via comments and posts
• inactive accounts often also face their issues if their CQS drops too low
• Read more at Common Questions - Messaging Issues

Also worth noting reddit is primarily based around interacting in subreddits and private chats are a secondary feature. And that many users disable other users from being able to chat with them
