Reddit takes domain bans seriously, and attempts to bypass the ban with a simple redirect could violate their policies and lead to further consequences, including banning accounts associated with promoting the site.
However, there are some alternative strategies you could consider:
You could set up a
new domain specifically for Reddit purposes and use it as a landing page that links to your main website. This domain shouldn't be a straightforward redirect, but rather a mini-site or blog page with valuable content, so it doesn't appear spammy.
Reddit doesn't block all link shorteners or cloaking services, so you could try using a service like Bitly or TinyURL to mask your banned domain. However, Reddit tends to crack down on link shorteners over time if they detect misuse, and this is a temporary solution at best.
Instead of trying to promote your domain directly, consider sharing valuable content on third-party platforms that Reddit allows, such as YouTube
, Medium
, or LinkedIn. Create content that adds value to Reddit users, and within those articles or videos, you can link back to your banned domain in a subtle, contextual manner. Reddit users tend to trust outside platforms like YouTube or Medium more than direct promotional links.
I hope the above helps.
