Reddit Blacklisted My Device - Need Help Bypassing the Permanent Ban

[Zedd1]

I tried creating new Reddit accounts using fresh IPs and new email addresses, but Reddit kept detecting them and permanently banning every account I made. Based on some advice I got here, I tried signing up from an old Android device I wasn’t using anymore and it actually worked perfectly. No instant ban, no problems at all. So it looks like switching devices made a difference because Reddit didn’t recognize that old phone.
The issue now is that I want to use Reddit on my main Android device again, but Reddit seems to identify it somehow.

How do you bypass Reddit's recognition of your device, which they've blacklisted due to a previously banned account? Is there a "quick/practical" way other than buying a new Android phone?

Up.

Try to factory reset the device

Create a system clone. It usually works fine.

Thank you for your time.

This sounds like a great idea. Were you referring to cloning an app or cloning the entire system profile on the phone?

You need to reset your device's advertising ID and clear all app data/cache for Reddit. For a more thorough fix, consider flashing a custom ROM or using a factory reset, as Reddit likely flagged a persistent hardware identifier (like the Google Advertising ID or device fingerprint). A simple IP change is insufficient if the device itself is blacklisted.

Understood!

You mean creating a second profile with apps like Island/Shelter.

Most modern Android devices have an option to create a system clone. It's a feature in settings. Turning it on will create a duplicate system that works like a new phone. You can install apps & games on it like a new device but they won't be visible or accessible from your main system. You can access it with a new fingerprint & password combination. It's like 2 people using a single phone have 2 sets of systems for their fingerprints. It worked fine for me for some apps.

reddit doesn’t just ban your account, it links whatever identifiers it can find back to you, like your IP, device fingerprint, cookies and all that.

You have to give it a time, you have to wait for few days or even a month before creating any new account.
After that you can try to create a new account in incognito window and don't comment or post from that account for at least 10 to 15 days, just open the account daily for 2 weeks and just scroll and give random upvotes to the content shown on the homepage. also join random communities daily but not too many and open suggestion notifications Reddit sent you time to time.

Once a device is blacklisted by Reddit, the only reliable fix is using a completely clean device.

trying to evade them usually just triggers faster suspensions. your best option is to appeal honestly, wait it out, or use reddit normally on an account that follows rules, anything else risks permanent site-wide blocks

reddit isn’t just checking IPs. once a device gets flagged, there are multiple identifiers tied to it, so switching back usually trips something fast. factory resets or ad id resets sometimes help but they’re inconsistent.

from what i’ve seen, system clones or separate profiles work better than app clones, but even those aren’t permanent. if the device is hard flagged, time or a truly separate environment is usually the only thing that sticks
