Hey everyone,

hoping some experienced people can help me out.

What I'm doing long-term:
I run an Instagram model page and a Telegram channel, and I want to use Reddit as an additional traffic source that eventually funnels people toward my Fanvue. So my goal is to turn this Reddit account into something genuine and trustworthy - not to spam it.

Talking about my reddit account @scarlettblazexxx

Right now I'm stuck on three things:
1. A permanent "We had a server error" banner. It's been sitting at the top of my feed for a few days. The page still loads and my comments actually go through, but the red error never goes away. I've tried a fresh browser profile, cleared cookies, disabled all extensions, turned off my VPN - same result. Logged out / incognito looks totally fine.

2. My profile picture and banner disappeared. They were showing before, now they're just blank/default. Not sure if this is connected to the error above.

3. Growing fast but safely. The account is ~1 week old with slightly negative karma (a couple of early comments got downvoted). What's the fastest legit way to build it into a strong, credible account? How long should I warm up with genuine comments before I ever mention my other platforms, and how do I avoid a shadowban while doing it?

Also, how do I get the karma I need?

Mainly: is the server error + missing avatar a sign my account is flagged/shadowbanned, or is it just a known Reddit bug? Anything I should do - or stop doing - right now?


Thanks a lot

Its either shadow ban or sever issue
 
In my experience, when you receive a "Server Error" message, it's usually because your account has been temporarily suspended.
 
The server error and missing avatar do not mean your account is flagged. Reddit has a lot of random account bugs with newer accounts. If your comments are visible to others and you can interact normally, then it's not a shadowban. Reddit is sensitive with new accounts, especially when the account history looks like it was created only for promotion. Spend some time building normal activity:

  • Avoid repeating the same comments across multiple subreddits.
  • Don’t drop external links early.
  • Build positive karma naturally through helpful discussions.
  • Read subreddit rules before posting because every community has different limits.
  • Comment in communities where you actually have something useful to add.
 
I've had that error before. In my case the account ended up being flagged.
 
shadowbanned. If you're not sure - go to incognito window and go to your user page w\o loggining in. For me it says you're banned.
 
Also, is there any way do buy warmed up and stable Reddit account I can use and just adapt profile picture, banner and bio?

You're probably shadow banned.

After you purchase the account, do not immediately start posting on it instead use it like you would use your own acc, so add the banner/profile pic or bio then scroll in the communities where you plan to post, upvote few posts etc. Keep doing that for the first day then start posting. Assuming your setup is okay that should be more than enough to start.
