I am a cybersecurity expert and I have experience in writing decent technical content (like https://blog.vidocsecurity.com/blog/hacking-swagger-ui-from-xss-to-account-takeovers/ or https://www.moczadlo.com/2024/delightful-inputs-with-intellisense-and-syntax-highlighting)
It is almost impossible to translate it into Reddit karma - I tried posting content on some of the subreddits, but I simply can't cause of minimal karma requirements.
Reddit said that you need to comment before being allowed to post content on most of the subreddits, but for me, it is really hard to find interesting posts I could comment on.
It is far easier to create new engaging content, than finding ways of contributing to existing content. You need to filter through hundreds of bad posts to find a couple of interesting ones and be early enough to add value through comments.
How do you do it?
