Karma & Trust Filters
Why New Accounts Get Filtered (and How to Build Trust Fast)
If your posts feel “invisible”, it’s often not personal—many communities apply stricter filters to new or low-history accounts.
TL;DR: Comment-first, avoid links early, follow templates/flair, and post slowly until your account looks normal.
Already invisible? Diagnose it here:
Post Removed or Invisible? (Fixes).
Why Filters Exist
- Spam prevention (new accounts are common spam sources).
- Automated rules (title formats, banned links, missing flair).
- Community protection (high-signal discussions, less noise).
Most Common Triggers
- Posting links as your first actions
- Crossposting too fast
- Wrong or missing flair
- Copy/paste across multiple subreddits
Prevention list: Avoid Reddit Filters.
The “Trust Ramp” (Fast but Safe)
- Days 1–2: 3–5 helpful comments/day on New posts.
- Days 3–4: Save top posts and match format + tone.
- Day 5: 1 post in 1 subreddit where you already commented.
- Days 6–7: 1 post/day max, no copy/paste.
Comment strategy: First Comments Formula.
