Reddit ban solutions

[Justat3mpsir]

Have been trying to figure this out for a week.
Some caveats: currently financially challenged and have trouble getting a PC or laptop, but working on it. I literally only have like 2 iPhones right now. Sorry, this will be a little low tech
Got banned from 1 main account on old iPhone, then foolishly tried to make a new one instead of going to appeals first, now every account on my device is banned, possibly even IP banned. I did make a new one (used proton VPN, cellular data only, Lunascape mobile proxy browser (switched user agent)), it survived for a day (a lot longer than the rest), and then it got banned immediately after like the 4th comment I made. So maybe it was cuz of its behavior, idk.
I made an account with an office PC (not mine, ofc) with proton mail, haven’t checked it yet, though it’s only been 1 day. I did a few upvotes, browsing, and 1 comment saying “nostalgia”

I’m currently thinking of 2 setups according to my circumstances I might try in future. Keep in mind, my goal is only like 1 or 2 accounts that I can use long term so that I can literally ask questions about technical or work stuff. Don’t really care for reddit like that, but there’s so much traffic on it so that’s its main selling point, I guess.
(The different phone is a bit old, however it’s not the banned one so that’s a +. However, it has accessed my wifi (possibly banned ip) in the past, and the Reddit website a long time ago, though no app. So idk if Reddit can figure out this different phone has previously used that (banned) ip. This is my main issue.)

1: different iPhone (different iCloud), only uses browser, new account (new proton email, made in different ip), don’t use wifi when using reddit (banned ip), only use hotspot (of old phone, banned), no reddit app, only reddit website. At first, change grammar style (punctuation at end of every sentence, change spacing, different phrases), low activity at first (don’t post, only upvote, save, or very few brief specific comments), only browse major subreddits at first (ask reddit, tech support), maybe login once/twice a week)

2: different iPhone (different iCloud), only uses browser, new Reddit account (new proton email, made in different ip), don’t use wifi when using reddit (banned ip), uses its own SIM card cellular data, no reddit app, only reddit website. At first, change grammar style (punctuation at end of every sentence, change spacing, different phrases), low activity at first (don’t post, only upvote, save, or very few brief specific comments), only browse major subreddits at first (ask reddit, tech support), maybe login once/twice a week).

For both setups, I will either turn on cellular or turn on hotspot, turn off wifi, and then log in to reddit via browser. After logging out and clearing browser cookies/cache/etc, only then will I turn on wifi. Not superrr duper worried about browser fingerprint/ID (should I be?) since this different phone has never touched the banned reddit accounts or app (though it has used the website a long time ago, ≈1 year)

A few things:
- I keep getting conflicting advice on browsers (especially since I’m on iOS) about whether to use Brave, Firefox, safari, or chrome. Some say brave/safari have better fingerprinting or that chrome blends in better, I’m not sure.
- this different phone has accessed my wifi/ip before, so I don’t know if reddit can tell. And I’m not sure if reddit cares/can differentiate if you use hotspot or cellular.

Thanks all !

reddit's flagging you on device level, not just ip. all those accounts getting burned same device means they know it's the same hardware even with vpn. the iphone that accessed old bans is the killer - reddit prob has that device fingerprint blacklisted now. you need weeks between account creation on same device or just switch phones entirely

 

[Lannister10]

Reddit doesn't just ban accounts but they link your entire footprint (hardware IDs, IP, linked phone/email, and browser cache) to chain-ban you.

To stay safe:

• Use dedicated residential or 4G mobile proxies (never datacenter IPs/free VPNs).
• Use an anti-detect browser or separate devices to mask hardware fingerprints.
• Keep every account completely isolated with a unique email and phone number. No cross-linking.

Hi, I’m thinking of switching devices to an older phone. Although I’m unsure about the other aspects.
Do you think my plan of just only using cellular for Reddit will work? Can it still detect my IP stuff?

Hi, my plan is to use entirely separate proton emails, different device (to bypass device ID), and when using Reddit to only use cellular data (safari private browsing). Is this a safe bet?

I’d honestly just appeal the original ban. Making more accounts with different VPNs and browsers will probably just keep getting them banned.

Hi, thx for the reply. Unfortunately I was a bit foolish and didn’t research before making the accounts. I did appeal a few times but it was rejected. Not to mention the multiple accounts probably made it even more permanent, aka no appeal success.
But currently, do you think the setup with the new phone & cellular is viable? I heard someone uses 4g /5g from India and they were able to make a few hundred accounts. Just looking for something low tech.

That sounds frustrating I'd probably stick with the official appeal process first instead of trying multiple new setups I'd be interested to hear if anyone has managed to get a long term account back through a successful appeal

Hi, thanks for answering. Unfortunately I was a bit foolish and didn’t research before making the accounts, I did appeal a few times but it was rejected. Also the ban evasions it detected made it even more permanent, aka no appeal success.
But do you think the 2nd setup will work?

 

[Justat3mpsir]

@Justat3mpsir setup 2 is definitely your best bet here. do not use the hotspot from the banned phone like in setup 1... even over hotspot there can be leaks and if that cellular connection was active during any of your bans it might already be flagged.

about the browser on ios, it doesnt really matter if you use brave, chrome or safari because apple forces all of them to use webkit under the hood anyway. safari is actually fine because it makes your fingerprint look like millions of other iphones.

one big thing though... stop using protonmail. reddit flags proton and temporary mail domains instantly for new signups because of spam. try using a normal outlook or gmail instead, makes the account look way more legit. and stick to cellular data, cg-nat on mobile ips is your friend since thousands of people share those same ips.

Wow, thanks for the reply!
I understand the bit abt hotspot and cellular now.
I already have one acc that’s proton mail , though it’s been surviving so far. I made it in an office PC in a different location, warming it up nicely, building a persona and all. Though I’m worried about what would happen if I sign back into on the new phone, maybe the reddit website would detect “oh you’re changing location” or “we know you’ve used this IP” or something like that, just the heebie jeebies.
For emails: unfortunately… I did make a bunch that got banned before I did my research…so Gmail is a no-go. Is it ok to just use a temp outlook/gmail that u can generate/find online?
But one worry for safari is; if I use private browser mode safari and I clear the reddit tab, and lastly turn off cellular, am I in the clear?

If you're using a completely fresh setup like new phone, new SIM, different network, and new email, the chances of account ban is null. However, the key is not to be aggressive right from day one.

Give the account some time to warm up naturally. If you start posting aggressively right away, it will immediately trigger Reddit's spam filters and get banned again. This strategy works effectively, but only if you have the patience to let the account age and build trust.

The device side gets overcomplicated pretty quickly.
If the account activity looks normal and you’re actually following the rules, thats probably more important than constantly changing your setup

I know, but so far idk which setup even works. Cuz most of the bans so far are from the account being on the same device etc, they haven’t even made comments yet. So I’m testing if “new device, new ip, new email” works. The warming up part shouldn’t be too hard, I have one right now that I made in a library 2 days ago and it’s warming up, but I’m worried about signing that into a personal phone.

Yes, I think it could work. My only worry is that I’m using cellular + safari to use the Reddit website, so I’m not sure if safari could leak that I’ve used other IPs before (the banned wifi) to Reddit if I don’t close a tab/cookies or something, that’s the main issue that I wanna know.

For warming up: this is my plan. Lurk a bit, sign in maybe twice a week. Only do browsing at first, no upvotes. Make a persona: “who am I, what do I like, my job, my problems, identity etc.” based on that persona, search up subreddits that match that persona’s interests. IMPORTANT: Then, keep searching up things like “how to upvote in Reddit” within Reddit, because the persona is new to reddit. You have to do this with lots of things. Before you even change your settings, you have to look up how to do that inside Reddit search, before changing settings. (How/why/what/where : settings, upvote, comments, archive, subreddit, copy paste, save, share, etc). Comment very sparingly, like once every 2-300 comments u scroll past. Upvote once maybe every 50-150 comments u scroll past. Look at the trending/popular, browse and save interesting things. When browsing, u have to scroll and pause at random times to act like you’re reading. When a post refers to something, look it up, because that means you’re going through a “pipeline” on Reddit. That’s also how you can VERY slowly worm your way back into the stuff you usually browse through. Also look through profiles and subreddits, as if you’re actually going through a rabbit hole. If you comment, change your style: think of how you usually type, and change the phrases, punctuation, spacing, capitalizing, tone, etc. Try to only add on common knowledge or a broad opinion, 1 sentence.

Hi. Check my last part of my conversation with ChatGPT. I did this because seems that everybody use AI rn and they’re replying using ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude answers but in reality they don’t know how to ask. If someone reply from his knowledge, nobody trust him.

Check the last part. This is how I evasion Reddit’s ban for my AI girls accounts (which is a serious ban linked to AI content, adult content NSFW), so a serious ban reason)

Safari can definitely leak your previous data through persistent cookies, local storage, and browser fingerprinting if sessions aren’t completely isolated. If that Wi-Fi is already flagged from a banned account, connecting to it will link your accounts and trigger a ban within 3–4 days.
If you want to keep the account safe, you need complete separation:

• Switch from Safari to the App: Use a fresh install of the Reddit app on a completely different phone.
• Avoid that Wi-Fi completely: Stick strictly to a separate cellular data plan (new SIM) or a clean, dedicated mobile/residential proxy.
• Zero shared footprints: Do not reuse old emails, Apple/Google IDs, or recovery details.

If Reddit detects even a small trace of your previous network or device history, the automated system will flag it quickly. Complete isolation is the only way to make it last.

Interesting, I’ll look at it.
But my setup is different phone (different account), different sim, different account (email), different behavior. Not really sure how to totally prevent the cookies part; I keep seeing people say to use safari on iOS/brave/firefox. However, not sure if safari private browser will clear the network history once you close the tab. I keep getting mixed signals, some say yes and some say no. Logically, if you never use wifi while on reddit, then you clear the tab, that should clear the cookies right? Or at least Reddit should only see your current network, not your entire history of IPs and wifi that you’ve accessed.

I understand you should “isolate” sessions, but is my “routine” good?
Cellular before opening Reddit via safari private browsing, then you only turn on wifi after logging out of Reddit and clearing that tab.

I understand you should “isolate” sessions on principle, but does that setup work? :
No wifi and turn on cellular before opening reddit via Safari private browser; and only turning on wifi AFTER logging out Reddit and closing the Safari private tab.

I keep getting mixed signals: some say Reddit can only read your current ip network and not history/ safari private just clears that after you close the tab/ safari can or can’t keep your network history, etc. AFAIK, I don’t know if Reddit picking up the device/browser ID matters for IP/network history, cuz it’s a different phone (no app, etc). Or maybe a millennia ago I once used reddit via browser and now there’s a permanent log of “this iPhone has used this ip once a long time ago- BAN!”

Just confused about this, because I really do need to use wifi for that new phone sometimes, so it’s hard to keep it as purely a reddit phone

 

[Justat3mpsir]

I’d honestly just appeal the original ban. Making more accounts with different VPNs and browsers will probably just keep getting them banned.

Hi, getting back to you.
Recently got an appeal successfully accepted for original comment perma ban. Unfortunately, the ban evasion perma ban remains; and I feel so foolish for that, should’ve waited it out instead letting emotion take over. Should I even appeal that? Like a “first time I ever made a alt” or something?

 

[WebSurfs]

If the goal is only one or two long-term accounts, I’d simplify the setup instead of trying to change fingerprints, browsers, IPs and writing style. First exhaust the appeal on the original account, then use a normal, consistent device/network setup and keep activity genuinely useful and within each subreddit’s rules. The browser itself is unlikely to be the main factor; constantly changing environments can actually make troubleshooting harder.
