My newly created accounts are getting banned or shadow banned even i’m not posting or commenting anything. After creating an account i try to browse on different subreddits naturally for some weeks so that it looks normal to Reddit algorithm but recently it’s not working. Tried with different types of device changes still can’t find a way; Any solution or suggestions?

the issue is reddit's algorithm checks created date heavily now. accounts under 3 months get instant flags when they hit certain subs, especially with links or cross-posting. you need aged accounts or warmed accts with natural behavior spread over weeks. even with proxies new accts just dont work like they used to

The culprit is either the proxy or the device you use.

Warming up the account wont do anything if it gets flagged during registration. That usually comes down to the ip being burned from older bans, so switching devices alone does not really help. I had the exact same issue until I stopped using cheap proxies and just made the accounts on mobile proxy with a clean gmail. Reddit is really aggressive with datacenter subnets and temporary emails lately so they just shadowban them on the spot
 
Reddit’s spam detection algorithms are extremely aggressive right now.
If you create a new account using the same device, hardware fingerprint, IP/network, phone number, or even the same Play Store/App Store instance tied to a previously flagged or banned profile, you’re almost guaranteed an instant shadowban.

If you're setting up fresh accounts, you need a clean slate - isolated browser profiles (anti-detect), residential proxies/fresh 4G/5G IPs, and clean device footprints. Avoid linking any old footprints to the new setup.
 
It could be Reddit’s anti-spam system flagging the accounts automatically. you should avoid making multiple accounts or changing devices/IPs repeatedly, and just build one account normally over time. If it keeps happening, contacting Reddit support is probably the best bet.
 
New Reddit accounts can have some limits at first because they have little history. Give the account some time, use it normally and follow the rules of the subreddit you are using. Some new accounts may also get restricted automatically.
 
the filters being used now in reddit, is for some reason - really very bad, triggers a natural activity as bot activity too, someone new to reddit will be expected to either act way too new or way too experienced

It’s impossible for a newly created account to get banned immediately after making a comment!! Are you using an anti-detect browser and proxies? Try it — it’s impossible for that to happen to you.
