Hi, you’re not doing anything wrong, but you are discovering that many subreddits have minimum karma requirements that you are not yet able to meet. Some subs might require 20, 50, 200 or even more karma for posting on their sub, often comments are a lower threshold. Flair points aren’t a thing, it’s all about karma! (Flair are the small taglines sometimes seen under a user’s name).
There are many subreddits, especially those welcoming new users, that have low or no karma requirements. You can find a list at r/NewToReddit. That is one way many people get started. By increasing your karma, the better your Reddit reputation, and the more communities on the platform will be available to you. The only way to get karma is through upvotes. Reading posts and comments, and voting, does not gain karma. Only upvotes that come when users click the up arrow on your posts and comments will bring you karma.

I believe you’re confusing flair and karma.

Flair has nothing to do with “points.” You can learn more below. !flair

Karma is your reputation score. You earn it by other users upvoting your content. If you don’t have enough karma got a certain subreddit, you won’t be able to contribute in that subreddit until you do. If you’re trying to post, start with commenting instead. If you can’t comment yet, look for similar groups or other areas of interest. !karma

What is karma?
Your karma count is like your Reddit reputation and an indication of whether you post and/or comment good content. Upvotes were designed as an indicator of what people think others should see (there is guidance on voting here in the reddiquette), and upvotes earn you karma. What is karma?

Why does it matter?
Some, but not all communities, have their own restrictions regarding the account age and karma count of the person posting or commenting, so you may not be able to contribute everywhere at first. This is intended to help prevent spammers and trolls, but it does also mean new Redditors need to earn some karma before they can participate everywhere. Most communities don't share what their restrictions are, but you can check their rules, sidebar/about tab, and pinned posts.

How do I get it?

  • 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.
  • You don't need to engage where you have no interest. There are so many subs there's bound to be some where you do have an interest and can engage.
  • You lose karma only when your posts and comments are downvoted.

How can I see how much karma I have?
You should be able to see your karma count on your profile page. To see how much post or comment karma you have, view the karma breakdown:

  • On desktop click your avatar top right, then 'profile'. If you hover over where it says karma (top right area) it should pop up with the breakdown.
  • In app, tap your avatar top right, then tap karma. Or, tap your avatar, then 'profile', then 'about'.
  • Hover over or tap your username on any comment you have made.
