Hey everyone,
Seeing something unusual and wondering if anyone else has experienced it. i manage several reddit accounts that post in different communities and niches. None of them have violations, removals or warning messages but over the last few weeks engagement has dropped across all of them at the same time. Posts are still getting published normally but reach and visibility feel much lower than before. What was confusing is that this is happening across different subreddits and different account ages.
Has anyone else seen a drop like this? Do you think reddit is evaluating account behavior differently now or could there be another factor affecting visibility behind the scenes?

I have noticed something similar recently.

When multiple accounts across different niches see a drop at the same time, I don't assume it's an account issue. In many cases, Reddit seems to adjust visibility and recommendation systems behind the scenes. If posts are still being published normally and not getting removed, I would look at broader platform changes rather than individual account problems. I have seen engagement recover later without making any major changes.
 
I've experienced this as well.

If different accounts in different niches all lose reach at the same time, I tend to think it's a platform-wide algorithm change rather than something wrong with the accounts. I've had visibility return after a while without any major changes.
 
Hi @ZephyrCole

Yes, I have seen this happen before.

If multiple accounts across different subreddits are losing reach at the same time, then it is probably not an issue with any single account. In most cases, it is either a reddit's algorithm change, more competition in the feed, or lower overall engagement in those communities.

I have also noticed that sometimes reddit changes how posts are distributed, and reach drops across many accounts even when nothing is wrong with them. If your posts are still being published normally and there are no warnings or removals, I would not worry too much about account restrictions.

To me, this sounds more like a platform-wide visibility issue than a problem with your accounts.
 
what I have learned through my experiences, it is better to check trends over several weeks rather than focusing on a short-term drop.
 
I think you’ve been posting repetitive content on the same topic, which may be causing audience interest and engagement to gradually decline.

That usually points more to a platform-wide distribution shift than a single-account problem. Worth comparing posting times, formats, and the subreddits themselves before assuming the accounts are the issue.
 
I have also noticed similar fluctuations. If it is happening across multiple accounts at the same time, it's more likely a Reddit algorithm change rather than an issue with the accounts themselves.
 
i have seen similar drops before. sometimes it is not account specific at all but a broader change in how reddit distributes content. a lot of communities seem to be relying more on early engagement signals now so posts that do not get traction quickly can end up receiving much less visibility than they used to.
 
Check posting patterns repetition links and engagement signals rather than assuming accounts specific issues. Reddit often updates ranking and anti spam systems without notice. If multiple accounts drops at once it's usually platform wide change.
 
Yeah, I’ve seen this happen before. When engagement drops across multiple accounts at the same time, it’s usually not account-related. Reddit likely tweaked something in how it ranks or distributes posts.
Even without violations, visibility can shift if the system starts treating certain posting patterns more cautiously. It’s often more about platform-side changes than anything you did wrong.
