Some Reddit posts get traffic, others don’t. Same setup.

I tested posting the same type of content on Reddit using 5 different accounts. All accounts have some karma, clean history, and I posted in active subreddits. One post got over 300 clicks, but the rest got almost nothing. No one downvoted or removed them. I used the same format, same timing, same proxy. So why did this happen?

You are the only one seeing them

Why? Because you posted on different subreddits so you will get different results
That's normal
 
That’s pretty normal with Reddit. Even if you keep the same format and timing, posts can perform very differently. If you’re worried about shadowbans because you posted from the same device or IP, it’s better to separate your accounts using an antidetect (multilogin, hidemyacc, etc.) plus proxies. That’s all.
 
Dude that's so weird! It's like playing the lottery but with Reddit posts. Seriously though maybe the one that popped had a catchy title or just hit the algorithm right. Reddit's a total black box sometimes. Same content same timing it should work right? Maybe try playing around with the wording just a tiny bit. Or heck could just be sheer dumb luck. Don't give up though keep experimenting! Maybe you'll crack the code eventually.

Oh, thank you. I was just worried the accounts might get shadowbanned or something like that.

Thanks, I’ll give it a try and see how it goes.
 
Reddit's algorithm can be unpredictable- even small timing differences or early upvotes can make one post take off while others flop. Sometimes it's just luck. Keep testing!

Even if your Reddit accounts are clean and you post the same content using the same timing and proxy, the key difference is often the invisible reputation scoring Reddit assigns behind the scenes.
Some accounts might be in a light shadowban state (aka shadow delay) where posts appear but barely get distributed. Also, reusing the same proxy for all accounts can cause Reddit to link them, even if no bans happen, post reach can be throttled.
Rotating mobile proxies help here by giving each account a fresh, organic-looking IP with dynamic ASN and geolocation, making them harder to connect and more likely to gain real reach.
 
it doesn't work really like that, you need to read more about the SEO targeting
for example one word in the thread can change all the traffic results

How to rotate proxy and what is proxy?
Is it like VPN?
 
A proxy acts like a middleman, Reddit sees the proxy IP instead of your real one. It’s not exactly like a VPN. VPNs encrypt your entire device’s traffic, but proxies are usually used per app or per browser session, ideal for managing multiple identities.
To “rotate” a proxy means switching the IP it gives you. With mobile rotating proxies, this often happens automatically every few minutes or after each session. Some providers let you rotate manually via API or by changing ports.
Rotating mobile proxies are key when running Reddit accounts because they give each one a clean, real-looking IP footprint with dynamic ASN and geo, making it harder to link accounts and boosting post visibility.

Why do we need proxy?

You need a proxy because Reddit is super sensitive to patterns: IP, device fingerprints, geolocation. If you run multiple accounts from the same setup, you’ll get flagged fast. Mobile proxies give each account a dynamic, fresh IP, making them look like real users on actual mobile networks. That’s key to avoid linking accounts and keeping them alive, especially if the IP rotates every few minutes.

Correct, once Reddit flags your account, even great content won’t go viral because your visibility is throttled or shadowbanned. It looks normal on your side, but others barely see it, so no traction.
To use a proxy, you either connect it through your browser settings or better, run it inside an anti-detect browser like Multilogin or AdsPower. A mobile proxy gives you a clean IP, and if it rotates frequently, even better. Each Reddit account should be kept in a separate, isolated environment for best results.

What about brave browser?

Brave can work for basic browsing, but it doesn’t isolate browser fingerprints or allow separate environments per account. If you're running multiple Reddit accounts seriously, it’s not enough. Tools like anti-detect browsers (Multilogin, AdsPower, etc.) are built specifically for this.
And no matter what browser you use, clean rotating mobile IPs are a must if you want to avoid flags or bans.

Some subs suppress posts from newish accounts regardless of karma or format.
