hey, I'm building an app using the Reddit api and when commenting on a post I instantly get banned.

I'm using accounts with a few months of age and manually interacting for a week (scrolling, upvotes and commenting) but after submitting my first comment through the app I instantly get banned.

Am I doing something wrong? What if I pivot to use username + password for posting through my app?

Do you know how can I change that? Also, what about using an username + password instead?
 
Username + password might make you look closer to a normal browser session, but if your bot still fires off requests too fast, Reddit’s gonna flag you regardless. The fix is to slow things down and mix in normal browsing behavior.
 
Thanks, how much karma do you recommend before start commenting through the oAuth app?
 
API in 2025 is hardest ever, not only for Reddit but for all Social Media platforms, go with browser automation.
 
It might be the way the API calls are flagged. I’ve seen accounts get banned instantly when the behavior doesn’t match normal user activity. Maybe try slowing things down and mimicking natural actions more closely before testing again.
 
Reddit flags automated behavior fast, even with older accounts. don’t try to bypass it with username/password or scripts. Also make sure your app isn’t spamming or posting too quickly; gradual activity and proper API calls help avoid bans.
 
Same issue. Forget the API man, you need to go with the emulation route, or maybe try to find some hidden API, but I don’t have much hope for that.
 
Consider posting slowly and randomly instead of instantly to look more natural.

I got instantly banned when I posted my first comment from the oAuth app, it wasn't scheduled either
