If effective altruism is not just a chore to you, but is rewarding, fun, or fascinating, getting karma is easy. At least, it was for me. If you’ve already spent much time on the Facebook group, or with other effective altruists friends, conversing, just to pass the time, getting 30 karma is the same. This forum is a safe space where upvotes are more readily handed out than they are at Less Wrong, which has had more stringent forum norms since its inception.
Before anything else, introduce yourself. Then, I recommend going to the open thread, which is seriously has some of the most fertile, grassroots, and engaging discussions of effective altruism I’ve ever read. If you join those conversations, it will get you halfway to the article submission threshold. Additionally, don’t be afraid to be public with your prior involvement with effective altruism, or other communities committed to altruism at all, really, as this can only receive you appreciation for contributing.
