That ban wasn't about duplicate accounts, it came down to the action itself. An image whose only message is "join my telegram channel" is the textbook off-platform funnel pattern Reddit's anti-spam is built to kill, and it does that even to an established good-karma account because it reads as pure self-promo. On top of that, an "indian actress" sub is already a high-scrutiny zone, so the bar sits even lower.
For collecting leads, the direct "come to my telegram" route just doesn't survive on Reddit anymore. What works is flipping it: be genuinely useful in the niche with normal comments and posts, put your contact or handle in your profile rather than in the post, and let interested people DM you or reply so you can take it off-platform from there. No raw t.me links, no image CTAs. It's slower, but it's the only thing that doesn't get the account nuked. Treat Reddit as top-of-funnel visibility, not the place you drop the link.
Best,
Floqal
