Reddit can get really strict once an older account gets banned. I have seen people say that even new accounts start getting flagged quickly after that, especially if they post too much too early or start dropping links fast. Maybe you should try using the account more normally for a while first, commenting, joining communities, building karma slowly, and avoiding anything promotional in the beginning. A lot of newer accounts seem to get filtered very aggressively now.

Reddit uses practically every available data point to detect if you are a real user or evading a ban/block. Their system is the most sophisticated I've seen of any social media now, basically since they went public and the LLMs use Reddit as a major source.
If you use a VPN, you'll automatically get points toward not being a real user.
If any fingerprint leaks at all, especially anything IP related, that account now has those points.
Incognito also increases this point system.
Creating a new account using a VPN and Incognito counts towards this point system.
Having an existing account that sometimes uses a VPN and Incognito seems to evade this point system as long as the account is in good standing.
I believe Mods have the ability to mark accounts as spam/bots and those points can add up but I'm fairly certain that they don't matter as much toward an account ban (just a subreddit ban). This being said, I also think certain mods contain more authority in major subreddits than mods in niche subreddits.
All of this is just what I've witnessed myself so take that as you will.
I'm currently trying to recruit experts in Reddit Account Creation and Account Warming because unless you are constantly making accounts/warming, their policies/point system/requirements are updating so fast that by the time you figure out what works now and build your set up, it might be outdated. Not to hijack this thread but anyone that wants to make thousands of dollars, DM me if you truly are an expert.

Even more simple---just use gigs. Have a stable of Fiverr et al writers put your content and links/mentions on their Reddit accounts, let them worry about how to avoid bans and build more karma. You've got other things to do and worry about.

Agree with @InfinityPeace but then at the same time if you get this solution working with agents you can scale like crazy, would be wild to see.

It is incredibly harsh in dealing with any flagged accounts. What I have seen, it is not only about tracking your account, but also device fingerprints, patterns from IP addresses, browsers, and their activity. Which is why sometimes even newly created accounts get banned right away without any posts at all.
Premium membership does not save one from being banned by automated spam filters. Older accounts survive better due to accumulated history and karma.
The most effective way to work on Reddit when there is no other choice would be:
* to use a completely clean environment (device);
* avoid using popular proxies or VPNs;
* warm up the account gradually for several weeks;
* do not post promotional posts;
* behave naturally in non-related subreddits;
* verify the email and add some info to your profile.
Unfortunately, many users fall into the Reddit filter trap because of their impatience when starting working with newly created accounts. Their filtering system is truly vicious now.

I get it personally, if they don’t stop spam the whole thing would be spam, the other major key is the helpful message. If you can actually add some helpful insight in your comment or post, especially personal experience or value add research, you’re way less likely to be knocked by mods even with an actual link in there.

Reddit fingerprints everything like your IP, device, browser cookies and behavior patterns so new accounts get flagged before you even do anything wrong. buying premium won’t save you from that. So you got to come in completely clean with a fresh IP ideally through a 4g proxy or new network.

I should add chrome has some fingerprinting mitigation built in now so while not truly invisible I think we're going to see a decline overtime in true fingerprint tracking but its still there, the IP address is the most important detection surface nowadays, and any slightly low quality IP will get you shadowbanned really fast.

Thank you for this detailed explanation.
In return, permit me to direct you to Zinn Hub where you can find Reddit Experts. If you need more details or link to it, I can share in Dm.
All the same thanks
So you're saying Chrome is better in this case?
Cos I have tried Chrome, safari, Firefox, opera
Yes, I plan on getting a new device for it. That's how badly I need this to work

I'm not sure of your specific setup or what you're trying to do exactly, but generally I would say yes Chrome is better, it's the most used browser, and so you're the most blended in by far. Obscure browsers mean you aren't in the crowd so you stand out a lot more for all of their detection systems.

True
Would you recommend using reddit website or the app itself

I doubt that makes any difference like I said in regards to fingerprinting etc, the ip is the bigger concern. Tiktok is really the only co that has mobile device requirements almost everyone else allows browser usage fine, and for reddit I would bet they have a fair split in mobile or browser usage so I don't think it makes any difference.

How do u manage your accounts? Are we talking about new accounts or purchased with a history?
I buy accounts (on average $7–8 on marketplaces), use residential proxies for Reddit, and manage accounts in the Linkensphere. As you can see in the screenshot, the accounts have been active for over six months without getting banned.
