I still use reddit for some niche topics that have like zero activity on Lemmy. But still, I feel kinda bad over it… What about you people?

    Stop signing up with the same email address and you won’t get shadow banned. Your email address is literally the only way they track you. Once I realized this, any new accounts I made with a fake email work just fine.

      I’ve never used the same email account. I go to one of those websites that let you create a temporary email address and use that whenever I sign up for a new account. Not just for Reddit, but for most sites. I was very annoyed Lemmy wouldn’t let me create an account with a temp email address.

        As another person pointed out, they track cookies too. I never save cookies, which is probably why I was able to create a new account just fine.

          After I found out I’ve been shadow banned I got a new browser (Brave) and only access Reddit via incognito mode on Brave. When I first got Brave I created a new account and have never logged into an older account through Brave. I also have never logged into an account I created on Brave in any other browser or device. The only thing I can think of is ISP address?

        I never store cookies so that might be why I was able to create a new account just fine.
