I’ve been using Reddit with VPN for years. Not sure about registering, but using existing accounts with VPN works just fine. lemmy.world allows to register but doesn’t allow to post with VPNs, this is also one of big reasons I don’t use that instance.

Use your phone, don’t use an app, use browser.
If your IP was banned, turn off data, wait 10 seconds turn back on, you should have a new IP. Do not use a VPN, reddit will instaban you
Make a new account on Firefox with a useragent switcher and switch to a windows + chrone useragent, and turn on desktop mode.
Go make a new account with a “normal” email address (like Google’s Gmail) that’s never been used on reddit before. Wait like a few days before using the account. Make occasional comments to gain karma, because they’ll ban you for low karma.
Mighy take like a week or two before you get your account up and running.
Also, I doubt internet strangers could help you with life advice, but your choice… 🤷♂️

I can’t even view reddit pages half of the time with VPNs, let along register.
They definitely can detect that your IP is from a data center and deduce that you are using a VPN, so they will block you.

PS: try to register an account without VPN, then log in, then turn on VPN and see how it goes.

Then what’s the point? Using a VPN is so they don’t know who you are. If you register with your real IP, they would just store the IP forever.

I’m using Proton VPN all the time with Reddit, servers from all over the world: Europe, Asia, Africa. I have 365 day streak achievement on day 320 today, so at least those past 320 days I’ve been using Reddit with Proton VPN every day (I also have killswitch permanently enabled). Also used two other lesser known providers years ago with no issues. Keep in mind though, I’m only ever using paid servers. Wouldn’t surprise me if those few free ones are banned everywhere. It takes one user to misbehave from IP to get that IP banned.

Um… not sure.
Just trying selecting “desktop mode” and try to make an account and see what happen.
To verify that you have a new IP.
Check you IP address (just google “What is my IP Address” and click one of those websites) make a note of the IP address. Turn off the data, wait, then turn back in, refresh the page, and you should have a new IP address.

Did you actually confirm if any of this is true?
- Do not use a VPN, reddit will instaban you
- Make a new account on Firefox with a useragent switcher and switch to a windows + chrone useragent, and turn on desktop mode.
- Go make a new account with a “normal” email address (like Google’s Gmail) that’s never been used on reddit before. Wait like a few days before using the account. Make occasional comments to gain karma, because they’ll ban you for low karma.
- Mighy take like a week or two before you get your account up and running.

This is way too much effort for very little return. Fuck reddit.

I mean, maybe you wanna post a manifesto inciting insurrection, so you’d want to spread it as far as possible.
(Not saying I want to incite insurrection, just an example)
BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 1 week ago
Insurrection was organized via Facebook and Twitter.
Republicans are too smooth brain to use or understand reddit due to its heavy left-leaning stances, but I’m starting to see more and more conservative dipshit dumbfuck posts hitting the front page now than ever before, so you may be onto something.
