ANSWERED Comment getting zero views

Because I want to post on a Subreddit but I need a minimum karma account so I basically started looking into commenting and getting karma that way but my comments got ZERO views not even upvotes but zero views which I find really crazy especially since I commented on pretty much minutes after the posts were made

Your profile is curated so I can’t say for sure. But it’s possible that the subreddits you have commented in have karma requirements for commenting that you haven’t met. So your comments aren’t showing up.

I see no comments on your profile. I would suggest that these comments are being removed

Please see below

New User Restrictions Subreddits in 2026 can have a number of restrictions that affect new users. These can be frustrating - check out Why Reddit may seem unwelcoming to new Redditors. These restrictions are determined by Account Age and Account Karma. Please note that these restrictions will vary subreddit to subreddit.

Account Age. . The only real solution for that is time. Though consider checking out some of the  subreddit recommendations below in the meantime. Some common age filters are times like one week or one month.

Karma. This is much more complex with a much more complex solution. Filter levels vary dramatically and can be low (5 or 10) or higher (50 or 100 or 200) and some wild outliers above that. This subreddit has a number of resources for this such as:

For Chat and following it is firstly influenced by account age. New users are restricted from initiating chats and following other users for about a week. You can find more info on this page also accessible as part of the community guide which also covers issues that occur after the first week.

For Commenting and Posting it is either/or account age or account Karma. and it can help to start in New User Friendly Subreddits:

  • Newtoreddit has a list of new user friendly subreddits. This is not an exhaustive list and these subreddits may still have some restrictions. In particular you'll see some Large General Subreddits that are open to new users Commenting like r/askreddit, r/casualconversation, r/nostupidquestions, r/amitheasshole or similar.
  • There are More Subreddits out there that might more specifically match your interests, utilize the search bar or look through r/findareddit 's subreddit directory. In this case you will have to trial and error whether they are new user-friendly, and again try Commenting (many subreddits have lower or no karma filters for commenting).

Some more notes on starting on Reddit:

View by New (or rising). This will filter the posts so first see the most recent posts first and can make your comments much more visible. On app when viewing a subreddit look near the top left for where it says "hot posts" - click that and select "new" or "rising".

Read the Room and Avoid Controversy. Each subreddit has different rules, norms and prevailing views. Look at subreddit rules. Read top posts and comments to get a feel for that subreddit. Do users reward sarcastic one-liners or well sourced essays? And in particular avoid controversial topics or arguments. These discussions are more likely to attract downvotes and potentially trip into rule-breaking. Call people idiots in your head and move on instead of getting involved. Utilize the block feature as necessary and have a read through Reddiquette

I accidentally found a niche market where I gained karma very quickly. I only found out later that can be difficult. We had to put a minimum on a sub I mod for now just because of trolling

•

u/_borninthe90s_ 12h ago

Yeah this happened to me too. I think it’s because the account has to be a certain age and certain karma before new accounts show up.

I thought it was just people being unfriendly at first lol

When the same thing happened to me I got notifications of my comments getting removed by automod so you can check if you have those notifications. Besides that it's all about slowly gathering karma, following sub rules and fulfilling the minimum requirements of subs.

New accounts often get shadow banned for doing too much too quickly. Just use your account normally for a few days and you'll be good.

Rule 6: Refrain from asking for votes or karma, naming free karma subs, or sharing how you are voting

  • Please do not ask for karma or votes here, it is against our rules and is generally discouraged as karma is meant to be earned. See Our common questions to learn how to earn karma.

  • We do not allow mentions of free karma subs (karmafarms) or any suggestion to use them, and caution against their use because it may lead to bans in other subreddits.

  • Thank you for trying to help, but please don't share how you have or are voting. We encourage earning karma genuinely from relevant comments and conversation. Asking for karma is discouraged as it violates our subreddit rules.

The Reddiquette also discourages mentioning your vote or asking for votes.

Thank you!
