From zero to your first 100 comment karma
This week on Reddit marketing: playbooks for the unglamorous grind of early comment karma.
—
[Tactic] Hunt 'rising' posts, not 'hot' — a r/NewToReddit guide shows early comments on rising threads catch the upvote wave instead of dying at the bottom.
—
[Case] A user in r/Save3rdPartyApps documents which 3 advice subs gave them fastest karma per comment (answer-heavy, low-snark communities).
—
[Rule-change] Avoid karma-farming subs — r/modhelp warns that karma from r/FreeKarma-type subs is now down-weighted by many automod configs.
—
[Tool] RES comment-history view to audit your own ratio before posting links.
