To build your karma, posting and commenting in New User Friendly Subs with Low to No karma requirements is good, where you can accumulate karma for the time being. Here is a list of them made by the mods:

Here are some tips for you to earn karma (it is not guaranteed to be quick though, it depends on whether the viewer wants to upvote you or not, the time and sub you post in, and also your luck!)
1. Try to be the first on commenting a post, and don’t talk about controversial topics/get into arguments, since these will (very) likely make your posts downvoted, which leads to the losing of karma (Potentially a lot at one time, if in popular subreddits)
2. Instead, read the OP’s post carefully before commenting, and do some research. This will prevent you getting off topic, while you will also produce more good quality content.
3. Post MEANINGFUL content there. One word comments do not help and will even lower your karma score. Avoid using emojis.
4. And most importantly, match the mood of that specific sub. For example, don’t comment with jokes and memes in a ‘disease-related’ sub.
5. When you post in these subs, try reasoning with the audience (redditors). In your comments, show your knowledge and passion about the subject matter

Comment on anything you have something to say about. I can get stuck here for a min just reading and posting random things.

There is no guarantee of fast, you are reliant on other's votes. All you can do is share good content where you can and hope others value it enough to upvote.
You gain karma from engaging on Reddit; when your posts and comments are upvoted. It's a case of finding communities you can participate in, and that you have an interest or knowledge base in, and start by commenting to share your knowledge and experience, and add to discussions. As people upvote your comments, this will build your karma genuinely.
Some, but **not all subs have restrictions** and they're there to prevent spammers and other bad faith users. It does impact new and low karma users too though and initially it may be hard to find communities you can participate in and have genuine interest in, but once you've found a few it'll get easier.
Here is our list of new-user friendly subs you can try
You don't need to engage where you have no interest. There are so many subs (hundreds of thousands and many without high restrictions) there are bound to be some where you do have an interest and can engage.
r/findareddit can suggest some subs around your interests, you can try and see if you can participate, it may take a little trial and error. Look for smaller niche subs, as they may be less likely to have high restrictions.
Sort content by 'new' so you're interacting with fresh content.
We also have a chat post every week you can join in! You can earn some karma by having fun genuine conversations with others.
I made a new account to see what the experience was like. I limited myself to comments only, and managed 100+ karma in a few days of casual use. What I did was:
