No, absolutely not, they can fuck right off. I hate that shit on reddit and I'll completely stop posting to any community/instance that implements it on the fediverse. It's completely disheartening to new users for them to find out that they can only interact after they've made posts elsewhere. Then they go there and those people have that too.
Not only that, it's a meaningless requirement. There's subs on Reddit that exist solely to farm karma. You make a post, everyone upvotes it, done.
Plus it's double-extra meaningless on Lemmy, where you can run your own instance and give yourself whatever karma count/account date you want.
