Reddit karma checker — currently suspended
This tool is off, and we would rather say so than show you a result we cannot stand behind.
It relied on reading a Reddit account's public profile directly from your browser. Reddit closed that access in July 2026, and the fallback we had is blocked too. Karma, account age and the shadowban signal are simply not reachable for us right now, so the honest answer is that the tool cannot do what its name promises.
What still works today
Two of our free tools need nothing from Reddit's API and are unaffected: the AutoMod simulator, which shows the patterns that get comments auto-removed, and the Reddit markdown editor. For checking a shadowban yourself in the meantime: open the profile at reddit.com/user/<name> in a logged-out private window — if it 404s there but works while you are logged in, that is the classic signal.
Frequently asked questions
What is Reddit karma and how does it work?
Karma is the score an account accumulates from upvotes on its posts (post karma) and comments (comment karma). It is a per-account reputation signal — many subreddits use minimum karma thresholds in AutoModerator to filter out spam and throwaway accounts.
How much karma do I need to post in a subreddit?
Each subreddit sets its own (usually unpublished) threshold. Small communities often have none; large ones commonly filter accounts under roughly 50–100 comment karma or under 30 days old. If your posts vanish without a mod message, you are probably under the sub's AutoModerator bar.
What's the fastest legitimate way to build karma?
Answer questions in communities you actually know. Sort by New in a few subject-matter subreddits, leave genuinely useful comments, and karma follows within days. Avoid karma-farming subs — business communities check where your karma came from.
Does karma matter for marketing on Reddit?
Yes, twice over. Low karma gets your content auto-filtered before anyone sees it, and Redditors routinely check a recommender's profile — an account with no history reads as a shill, and gets reported as one.
