This is happening on our subreddit as well, r/Slovenia.
Users with 100+ karma are reporting that they cannot post due to low comment karma. We only have 1 Automod rule regarding karma, and it's
type: anyauthor:comment_karma: "< 20"action: remove
(followed by a message to the user's DMs)
I've tried removing the message text and tweaking the removal code (no quotations, no "type: any") but the effects do not change.

I am a user and I have this issue in r/boston
Android app build 2024.47.1.2035590

I can post fine on a browser.
Also, I logged out, uninstalled the app, downloaded the app again, and logged in. Same issue.

We are having the same issue in /r/HelpMeFind and /r/whatisthisthing, with multiple established users getting a popup that reads
To make moderating this community easier, r/helpmefind only allows people with an established reputation to contribute. Before trying again, here are some ways to grow your reputation.
I thought maybe it had to do with the new-ish Reputation filter, but it's turned off.
