How to Manage Multiple Reddit Accounts

Blog » How to Manage Multiple Reddit Accounts

👥 Reddit is a website that combines the features of both a social network and a forum, where registered users can post links to any information they like on the Internet and discuss it. According to Statista, Reddit is not a member of Top-15 social networks with most active users, but its audience exceeds 1.2 bn ☝️ registered accounts and 75% of people who have access to the Internet have heard about it. These facts make the platform a powerful tool for communication with your audiences and advertising activities. And where there is advertising, there is a necessity to manage multiple accounts.

Why Do You Need to Run Multiple Reddit Accounts?

🕵️ The main reason to use multiple reddit accounts is marketing. In order to be seen online brands, advertisers, marketers, affiliates and other categories of users need to be present on the Internet. Doing it with only one account may be a problem as its share in all the traffic is miserable. 

Besides interacting with the audiences there are other reasons for running multiple Reddit accounts:

📌 Corporate reputation. As Reddit is considered to be one of the most trustworthy platforms when it comes to reviews, companies create multiple accounts to share opinions about what they do and respond to negative comments to have a positive image. 

📌 Market Research. As Reddit is not the most popular platform many companies have multiple accounts to test different approaches to advertising to evaluate how the target audience perceives new products. In case of success these campaigns are moved to other social platforms. 

📌 Segmentation. Marketing and advertising may be devoted to different products and services. Managing multiple Reddit accounts gives users an opportunity to increase traffic volumes — in case when one account doesn’t generate enough traffic or shows poor conversion, you can switch to another.

📌 Defense against bans. Managing multiple accounts is one of the best ways to avoid bans. Getting a report or strike is quite easy nowadays. But if you have several accounts to promote your narratives, a ban is not a problem. 

📌 Fraudulent activities. Managing multiple Reddit accounts can be used for sending spam and phishing. As these accounts don’t live long enough, malefactors need a bunch of them.

What is Reddit Policy Towards Multiaccounting?

👍 Reddit allows you to manage multiple accounts without bans. You can even register them using the same email address. However, you can get an IP ban for violating the social network rules. One of the key limitations is that you can’t manipulate karma on Reddit through multiple account management 🙅

❗ Karma is a sum of upvotes and downvotes you get for your activity on Reddit.

If other users like your posts and comments, your karma will increase and vice versa. And you can’t upvote your posts from your other accounts as the platform’s anti-fraud system will detect it instantly and all your accounts will be banned. 

🔄 But in order to switch between multiple Reddit accounts you have to logout and login every time — and that even sounds inconvenient. The situation is a little bit different on the Reddit app as when you add multiple accounts, they remain in it and you have to only choose the necessary one to log in. 

☝️ Still, Reddit sees that all of them belong to one and the same user as they share one and the same digital fingerprint, which includes information about your device, its technical characteristics and software you use like operating system and browser. This set of data is unique for each user and all the social platforms are eager to collect it as it makes targeted advertising (and revenue) much more effective. Did you know that Reddit generated 230 mln dollars 💰 in sales and marketing expenses in 2023? Not Facebook, but still impressive. 

❗ An ability to be recognized by Reddit is a risk for companies that run multiple accounts there as all of them can be banned if something wrong is done on only one of them. It is also a risk for users who don’t want their personal data to be collected as they appreciate anonymity on the web.

How to Remain Anonymous while Managing Reddit Multiple Accounts?

⚙️ As we have already stated, a digital fingerprint consists of a great number of parameters and they don’t have to match 100% in order to be recognized by a tracker. Spoofing only one or even several of them may not be enough. Digital fingerprint has to be really unique. And here are some ways to achieve it. 

Only a small number of fingerprint parameters.

Change of your IP-address

You can change your IP-address by:

• Changing your connection. Since your device’s IP depends on your Internet provider, you can connect to one account via your home Wi-Fi and to another via your mobile Internet.
• Proxy server. A proxy acts as an intermediary between your device and Reddit. It drives traffic through itself or creates a separate channel through which messages are transmitted to the website and back. Reddit sees the proxy IP instead of yours.
• VPN. A virtual private network routes traffic and replaces your IP-address with its own. It transmits all data via an encrypted channel to protect information from third parties: fraudsters, Internet providers, the network administrator and websites.

Use of Different Devices

📱 💻 Different devices have different digital fingerprints. In case of running multiple accounts from a laptop, a tablet and a mobile phone you will have three different fingerprints that will not be associated with you. But how many devices can you have and manage at once? Even the cheapest of them cost money and sometimes one may need several hundreds of accounts. 

Such device farms are popular, for example, in Asia where workers tap their screens for the whole day. But it is still uncomfortable in personal use. 

Antidetect Browser

💻 Antidetect browser is a special software that allows you to create as many separate accounts as you need. Each of them works in its own virtual space and has a unique fingerprint — and it helps to bypass any anti-fraud system easily and effectively: be it a giant like Facebook, Google or X (ex-Twitter) or some smaller player like Reddit. Even if one of the accounts is banned, others are not associated with it. That’s why you can just create a new one and continue doing what you have been doing before the ban. 

Dolphin Anty 🔥 is one of the most popular antidetect browsers as it has a user-friendly interface and some unique features for interface customization.
