i had old reddit working account but i deleted it since i like to do that and start with new one. but now making new one gets shadow banned and reddit appeals dont anything.

so how to make new one without shadowban?

    It’s been a good while… but I had several accounts without being recognized, even after one was banned.

    This was my recipe:

    Use pseudonym only. Not a single data item is true, but all data is plausible (no, your name is not “Adam Apple” and the birthday was not on 1/1/01, etc.)

    Use junkmail adresses from different domains.

    Use a different reddit app on the phone with each account.

    Before switching apps, tell my DSL router to reconnect (=fetch a new IP).

      i do all that and still get shadowbanned. only time it works is if i go physicallt away from home,use mobile data and make axxount there and then keave it couple days not connected to home internet (i can use ita wau from home fine) then connecting it on home wifi doesnr get banned.

      any other way i tried including using mobile data inside home gets me shadowbanned eventually.

      my home internet is behind cg nat so maybe that makes reddit sus

    I haven’t used reddit in months, but i do the same thing where I delete accounts periodically. Last I observed, new accounts start out shadowbanned. Some subs tell you they won’t let you post with an account that’s too new or has too little karma. Others just hide your posts silently (shadowbanning, of course… not necessarily site wide though). One thing I found that helps is to make new accounts periodically then don’t use them for 3-4 months.

    It’s not a shadow ban. Post/comment visibility is just highly restricted for new accounts. No one simply tells you that. You comment normally but nobody can see those comments. It’s to counter spam.
