I can submit tens of posts in a row from my accounts, when I submit post again after about 15 hours of waiting, the accounts are banned immediately.

Custom Chrome profile for each account,
I am using a 4g mobile ip.

In short, after idling for a long time, the account is banned from any interaction.

Has anybody experienced this situation? If so, have you found a solution?

Same here. It looks like Reddit is preparing for the political show

What platform do you post on?
 
I'd suggest using a high quality static residential proxies for each account and use an anti detect browser. That will get you to a good point
 
The reason this is happening is because it takes Reddit time to process and determine if your account is suspicious or flagged. As others have mentioned, use a better proxy AND a better browser. A custom Chrome profile is going to have the same fingerprint across profiles.
 
I encounter this issue as well, but only when I use proxies. Not with my home ip.

Try another proxy. Every proxy is a healthy and clean server, how can it be banned?

Tried with many different proxies.....

It could be due to the change in IP address. As I use proxies with bandwidth, where the Ip changes after 2 hours. Though I always use a proxy from the same city.
 
The account got banned due to your previous posts. Reddit sometimes doesn't ban the account immediately, instead they set it do be banned on the next post or comment.
 
Yeah after idling you need to warm up account a little bit, especially they account haven't had a lot of content on it or it is relatively new.
After that you can post in a row.
If it gets banned still then either there is some flaw in your posting method or poor quality proxy.

You're just doing something wrong that may activate the filters on you. That's not normal behaviour

I'm referring to the fact that it's getting harder and harder to create accounts en masse, and I speculate that these recent insta-bans for the new accs may have something to do with the 2024 elections (I'm referring to both the US elections and over 60 other countries around the world). I stress that my quoted comment is just speculation of me, and I may be wrong.
 
Have same problems since like 1 week buy accounts old post in first day than automatically get shadow banned no metter proxy or anti detect browser same story.. tried residential proxy .. normal proxy sock5 tried with my ip .. same story ip blacklisted for spam i think anyone any idea?
 
A few things I've noticed over the past couple of months:

  • Reddit flags uncommon user agents and checks them for suspicious activity/bot activity
    • Use the latest chrome/firefox browser and user agent
    • I put this as the first point because i've found it to be a HUGE difference maker
  • Use the highest quality proxy that you can; low quality proxy are flagged very easily
    • I've had a lot of luck assigning each account a proxy from a specific city and only using high quality proxies from that city
  • Focus on your content quality; posts/comments that are reported by reddit users and moderators will increase the probability that your account will be flagged
  • Focus on commenting more than posting; for every one post you should make 5-10 comments on random posts; this emulates a normal user's behaviour
    • Focus on posts in the "rising" category; your comments will not be seen by many people on posts that are already in "hot" category
    • You can use ChatGPT to generate comments; it takes some time to come up with a good prompt but it makes things a lot easier
  • Verify an email address
  • Focus on increasing your post and comment karma to at least 1 or 2 thousand; reddit tends to shadowban/ban accounts a lot faster when they're under a certain amount of total karma
    • You can get away with a lot more using a high karma account and your posts will reach more people as well
