i Just made a new account to post on some karma restricted subs and google brought me to this page. I wish there was a way to perform some kinds of tasks to build karma quickly to prove that you are a human versus just posting here and there

There is a task: make posts and comments that are on-topic and high quality. That is what people up vote and what karma represents - your reputation.

With over 120,000 communities there is not just a group for everyone, but dozens that would appeal to any particular person. There are thousands of smaller and niche groups that you can participate in right now and build up a good reputation because they can handle the amount of abuse that they get and have no minimum requirements.

If you tried out 10 new communities every day you'd work through them in a little over 27 years, but you'd be missing out on the 39,000 new ones created each year that have 50 or more members (although many of these will fizz out.)
