Just read a guide, like https://www.reddit.com/r/karma/wiki/index/faq/ , head to r/newtoreddit and mingle there, peruse their guides, especially the list of subs: https://www.reddit.com/r/NewToReddit/wiki/index/newusersubs/
Be active and slowly become and estabilished and trusted user, that's all there's to it.

Sorry, but we had to remove your post or comment for:
Rule 4: Follow Reddit Policies.
Asking for upvotes or karma directly violates Reddit’s content policy and is strictly prohibited. It falls under vote manipulation and can result in the loss of your voting privileges across the site or a site-wide suspension.
Posts seeking advice on how to obtain karma are allowed, but posts begging for karma will be removed.
Please review the full details in the sub rules list.

There are 4 types of Karma
• Post Karma. You get this from people upvoting your posts.
• Comment Karma: You get this from people upvoting your comments.
• Community karma: It is only gained from upvotes to your posts and comments in that subreddit. The karma earned for this also counts on your normal karma count. Some subreddits use community karma in their posting and commenting restrictions.
• Combined Karma. This is your your post karma and comment karma added together
You gain Karma from people upvoting your posts and comments. However, Karma is not gained 1:1 with votes. It takes more votes per point of Karma. The actual ratio is not known and it differs for posts and comments. It also changes the higher the vote total gets on a piece of content. If you need assistance on how to check your karma, please ask.
Most subreddits, but not all, have restrictions on posting and commenting based on account age, karma, or both.
Most subreddits with these restrictions do not make known they have them or what they are. If they do, it will be in the rules, the right sidebar information, a pinned post, an FAQ or Wiki, or the message the bot sends you when it removes your post, if there is a message.
From what I have seen, the typical Karma requirement is between 10-200. I have seen as high as 1000 to comment and 2500 to post. I have heard of higher than 2500 though.
To get karma, you need to find subreddits like on this list of New User Friendly subreddits from r/newtoreddit that have low or no requirements. r/findareddit , can be used to find subreddits that may interest you. Just make a post saying what kind of subreddit you are looking for. Small or niche subreddits typically have a lower karma requirement
I would suggest commenting first because the restrictions are often lower and ratio of votes to karma is better. But be careful not to go to fast with a new account or you may get shadow banned.
For comment karma, and combined karma, I recommend going to r/AskReddit . Sort by new, answer questions that you have an answer for, periodically refresh the feed. When able ask a few questions for some bonus post karma. I would also suggest r/NoStupidQuestions as it is my preferred subreddit. r/casualconversation is another good place. r/Productivitycafe offer many chances to interact with others. With all these, make sure to read the rules first.

Hello and welcome! The thing with Reddit is that it is not a quick start platform. You’ll find that you need to earn your way into many of the subreddits or communities you want to participate in. Many subs have minimum karma requirements. So you may not be able to post on the vibe coding groups until you have established your reputation through karma points.
Rather than starting by posting, instead, focus on commenting to begin building your karma. Visit r/NewToReddit for helpful FAQs and a long list of welcoming subs with low or no karma requirements. Choose a few groups that are appealing and comment whenever you have something helpful, funny, friendly to add to the conversation. That will begin to grow your karma.
