Subreddit and Karma of Reddit

What is subreddit and how does it work?

Reddit is composed of hundreds of communities, called subreddits. Each subreddit has a specific topic, such as technology, business, politics, or music. The homepage consists of the most popular posts from each default subreddit. The default subreddit is predetermined and includes contents such as pictures, videos, news.

Reddit users, also known as redditors, submit content which are then voted high or low scores by other users. The more upvotes a post gets, the more popular it is and the higher it will be ranked on the corresponding subreddit or home page.

What is Reddit Karma?

Reddit karma is like a user's score, adding up their upvotes to downvotes. If a user has a high karma score, it means their posts and comments are popular, and they are considered an authority within the community. A low or negative karma score means that the user's interaction was unpleasant, and often points to the user being a bot or spammer.

Karma is added by Post Karma and Comment Karma. If you intend to raise your karma, you can pay attention to comments and posts.
