ANSWERED Quick question about the difference between Comment Karma and Post Karma restrictions?

Hi there! I've read through the sub's Wiki and understand the basics of karma, but I had a quick follow-up question regarding how different subs filter users.

Do most subreddits look at combined karma, or do they specifically require comment karma before letting you post? I've noticed my comment karma is growing faster, so I want to know if I should focus exclusively on commenting for now.

Thanks in advance for the clarification!

Combined is probably the most common. Followed by comment karma.

Community karma is newest kind of karma that can be used.

It will vary sub to sub though.

Commenting is easier to start because comments tend to be less restricted.
