Been looking into Reddit automation lately and curious what the current landscape looks like.
A lot of the older bots seem to be dead or detected after the API changes last year. Wondering if anyone is still running bots successfully in 2026 — whether for upvoting, commenting, posting, or account farming.
Specifically interested in:
  • Which bots are still working and not getting accounts flagged instantly?
  • Are people using browser-based automation (Playwright, Puppeteer) or still hitting the API directly?
  • How are you handling the phone verification wave on new accounts?
  • Any good sources for aged Reddit accounts that actually stick?
Not looking for someone to spoonfeed me, just want to know what direction to invest time in before I build something that gets nuked on day one.
Appreciate any insights — drop what's working for you or what to avoid.

I'm also interested in the topic of Reddit automation. Are there any differences between posting via the web or API, or is it better to do it from actual mobile devices?

I am sure many would be using custom bots which are not public. You will have to pay premium price for them though.

I personally just made my own, and not using the reddit api, I'm running my reddit accounts on cloud phones and it's a mix of Js and Py scripts that do the work.

The thing is that my scrips only work for me :) they only fit my needs (spamming) and the best way to go about it is build your own (it's easy)

Can you teach on how to do this?

I mean, I could, but at the same time it's something you can learn yourself with very little coding skills.
I make all sorts of bots, reddit automation is just a small project and it's specifically tailored to my needs, I can give you the code for free, I'll actually send it to your tg
 
Are commercial Reddit bots even good these days? Quite sure people just use custom coded ones. Otherwise I think I'd hear more about Reddit bot providers being reliable and we'd probably have a provider in mind if that's the case.

Sir, possible to give some guidance?
 
A lot of people are using tools with browser automation, but the challenge is not just the tech, it is the behavior pattern. I had invested more time into smart automation and community research rather than trying to build a bot that fights Reddit’s detection systems. What I learned is the safer approach now seems to be
  • Monitoring keywords
  • Collecting discussions
  • Scheduling approved content
  • Managing multiple communities
 
Anything public & reddit, I would just reccomend you avoid.

As the gentleman said above, probably better to code your own at this point

What other bots have you made and use?

Ohh, I'm currently upkeeping 3 bots, one is my lovely reddit bot, It's been a while since a shadowban :)
The other two are pretty basic, just a Img/vid generator using my favorite, big name chinese company for both formats, it has no restrictions, full control via api.
...and a "panel" for managing sales with an advanced employee system, sales, charts, leaderboards, full control from admin.

working on few other projects, improving things as I go.

I am also interested in the code.
I'll send you a dm now. Thanks
 
All public ones won’t really last, reddits algorithm is too sharp & a tool can only randomize as many fingerprints to keep automation actions unique across multiple accounts. Privately ran solutions are the only viable option.
 
The upvote panels come to mind, if only because they're *not* working now. I'm guessing whatever tools are the most effective are secrets.
