Reddit account analyzer

Look up any Reddit user's post karma, comment karma and account age, and see how many subreddit posting rules the account clears.

Subreddit gates come from published rules. Hidden AutoModerator minimums and moderators still decide what stays up.

What is a Reddit account analyzer?

A Reddit account analyzer reads an account's public profile and turns it into a few plain numbers: post karma, comment karma, total karma and account age. This one goes a step further. It checks those numbers against the published posting rules of every subreddit Rankhog tracks, so you know where the account can post today.

How to look up a Reddit user

Type the username into the box above, with or without u/, or paste the profile link. The tool reads the public profile and shows the karma split, the account age and the subreddit gates it clears. You do not need to sign in. Reddit's own profile page shows the karma total and the cake day, but it does not tell you which subreddits will let the account post.

Post karma vs comment karma

Post karma comes from upvotes on the posts you submit. Comment karma comes from upvotes on your replies. Many subreddits check them one at a time, so an account with plenty of post karma and almost no comment karma can still be blocked from a room that asks for comment karma. Moderators often trust comment karma more, since it shows the account joins conversations instead of only dropping links.

How much karma do you need to post on Reddit?

There is no number for all of Reddit. Each subreddit sets its own, and many keep it private inside AutoModerator. The analyzer counts the published ones for you: how many of the subreddits Rankhog tracks this account clears, and the largest ones that still block it, with the exact gate. A rule nobody can see can still remove a post, so a clear result means you passed the rules on the page, not every rule.

What is a good karma score on Reddit?

Good enough is whatever clears the gates of the subreddits you care about, and the analyzer answers that directly. For a rough bar, Rankhog's own warm-up treats 50 total karma and 20 comment karma as established. Those accounts get the shortest warm-up, 7 days. A brand new account gets 28. Big numbers help less than you would think, since most gates sit well below them.

Why your karma does not add up

Total karma is not just post karma plus comment karma. Reddit also counts karma from awards you give and receive, so the total is often a little higher than the two numbers added together. Karma is not one point per upvote either. Reddit does not publish the formula, so your karma will not match your upvote count one for one.

How to check a Reddit account's age

Reddit shows the day an account was created as its cake day on the profile. The analyzer turns that into an age in days and checks it against the age gates subreddits publish, right next to the karma gates. A young account can see which rooms open up as it gets older, and which ones need karma it does not have yet.

Is it okay to look up someone else's account?

The analyzer reads only what any visitor can see on the public profile. We never ask for a password, never post, and keep the result for a day so a second check is fast. Results are not saved as pages, are not shared and are not indexed by search engines. The username never appears in a link.

Questions about Reddit account analyzer

Is the Reddit account analyzer free?

Yes. Anyone can run 20 checks a day without an account. Rankhog subscribers get unlimited checks, plus a warm-up that gets new accounts past these gates.

Do I need to log in or connect my Reddit account?

No. It only reads the public profile. It never asks for a password and never connects to your account.

Does the person I look up get told?

No. The tool reads the same public profile anyone can open in a browser, and Reddit does not tell people who looked at their profile.

Why does it say the account is not visible?

Reddit answers the same way for a deleted account, a shadowbanned account and a misspelled name. Check the spelling first. If it is your own account, check whether it is shadowbanned.

Why did it say busy?

The analyzer reads Reddit through a small pool of Rankhog accounts that share one rate limit. When they are all in use it says busy instead of guessing. Try again in a minute and the answer is usually ready.

How is the warm-up length worked out?

It is the rule Rankhog's own warm-up uses: 7 days for an account with at least 50 total karma and 20 comment karma, then 14, 21 or 28 days as the account has less.
