I need some clarity on how Reddit links work behind the scenes.
Situation:
- I have a friend who posts for me on Reddit using their account.
- I then copy that post or comment link using my own account, which is either fresh or suspended.
- I want to submit that link to an upvote panel to boost it.
My questions
- When I copy a link to a Reddit post or comment, is that link uniquely tied to the account that copies it (e.g my fresh or suspended account)?
- For example: if I use the “Share” button and get a /s/ shortlink, does Reddit record that my suspended account generated that link?
- Could that link be traced back to me and risk flagging the original post or my friend’s account?
Extra:
- Does it matter if I use the /s/ shortlink vs. the full permalink for upvotes
Thanks for any clear insights!
