Reddit launched the new ban evasion filter a couple of weeks ago, and I can't get around it.
Here is the post on reddit about it. The tool uses a lot of secret user signals that makes it almost impossible to evade subreddit bans.

Here's what I did:
I use a good antidetect browser (Adspower), proxies from proxy-seller.com, and create reddit accounts from scratch (I don't buy aged accounts that may be compromised).
I use only one account per proxy per browser profile. However, reddit somehow still detects that my new accounts are linked to accounts used months before. For instance, I got banned from posting on r/biotech months ago (my personal reddit account). Even though I use proxies, an antidetect browser, a new account, with a new email address, I still get banned for evading subreddit bans. Whenever I try to post on r/biotech my account gets banned.

How can I avoid this new ban evasion filter?

All these proxies are being used on Reddit to some extent. The more popular the source of them, the more they're used on Reddit and it's pretty easy to notice you're getting dozens or hundreds or more accounts from the same IP.

If it's a company IP (not a datacenter IP) or a school IP or maybe even a business that is known to offer free WiFi, they're less likely to care about lots of accounts from it. But it looks very strange to see lots of accounts from the same residential or mobile network IP unless the accounts are spread out over a long length of time, which would be natural as eventually your ISP will lease you a new IP. Mobile you're more likely to get IP changes more frequently. Residential, most ISPs can lease the same IP to a customer for weeks or month at a time.

As was mentioned, don't use the same profile pic, birthday, social link.

How is your antidetect been set-up?

I am not familiar with Adspower, do you have the opportunity to switch the WebGL noise on/off?

The thing is that once you switch the noise on for WebGL then sites can detect that you are spoofing your user agent, so some antidetect providers have WebGL switched off by default so it takes the one your system uses

Go pixelscan.net

Check your WebGL info with your regular browser and then go and open your antidetect and check with that too.

I can't think of anything else how they manage to connect your old accounts than this (or your DNS/proxies are leaking your actual home IP).

A: It's WebGL
B: Your IP is leaking (check with dnsleaktest.com | Use the extended test option)

This. Also the best proxies to use on reddit are 4g/5g.

But if all my antidetect browsers have the same WebGL hash then isn't that a footprint in of itself?

It is.

It comes down to the target site security really and if the site even detects it.

Lots of trial and error involved. If you are doing anything on social media sites then they definitely check WebGL.

Yes.

When everyone is trying to use same anti-detect measures, you end up with hundreds of identical fingerprints around the world so be careful. Especially if everyone just uses same anti-detect browsers with same settings and disabling same things.
 
Nice, I will try, my accounts keep banning now.

Nope! I just tested with the settings myself. 10 accs tested. 9 of them got banned immidiately after 1 post. one after a bit.
 
Tziahs stated that Reddit recently implemented a ban evasion filter, and despite using various tactics such as an antidetect browser and proxies from a trusted source, they are still unable to circumvent the filter. They have even created new Reddit accounts from scratch, but these accounts are somehow still linked to previously used accounts, resulting in bans when attempting to post on certain subreddits. Tziahs seeks advice on how to successfully evade this new ban evasion filter.

Stick to mobile or rotating IPs
 
I have tried Dolphin + Incognition with Residential Private Proxy from Webshare.io and also with Socks5 Mobile Rotating Proxy.

In all cases, I log in to a Reddit account, make 1-3 comments in subreddits, then the account gets banned.

I don't understand. Why am I being detected and banned? Are the proxies useless?

(Different emails, profiles, no same links or images etc.)

Could it be that the aged accs I bought from Accsmarket were timed to self-destruct/autoban?

Thanks for help!!
