Why Your New Reddit Account Gets "Insta-Killed"

You’ve probably been there: You set up a new Reddit account, post one awesome link or a genius comment, and boom—it's deleted by the system, or worse, your account is suspended. Don't feel bad; it happens to the best of us. This isn't a glitch in your device; it's Reddit's anti-spam machine at work. It's smarter than you think, and honestly, a bit of a buzzkill.

The process we call "Warming Up" is essentially pretending you’re a real, live human being who actually cares about things, not just some bot trying to sell something or farm votes.

• Your Real Goal: Build up your Karma (think of it as your "community credit score"). Many popular Subreddits have minimum Karma requirements. No points, no talking rights. Simple as that.

• The Harsh Truth: Even if you write the next viral masterpiece, if your Karma is zero, it's just going to sit in Reddit's digital trash bin, unseen by anyone.

• A Little Side Note: During this process, you will inevitably stumble upon some incredibly hilarious or surprisingly dull posts. Remember, we are here to work. But hey, if you genuinely laugh, take a short break. Laughter is the best medicine, and it helps you look less like a robot.

Lesson 1: Be a "Digital Ghost" (Days 1–3)

This is the easiest phase. You just watch, don't rush. Imagine you’ve just moved into a new neighborhood; you don't immediately crash the block party. You observe from the window for a few days first.

1. Observe and Learn (Like a Tourist)

• What to Do: Spend 15–20 minutes daily just scrolling through Reddit. Look at the culture. And definitely verify your email—it's the bare minimum proof that you're a "person."

• Where to Go: Stick to large, friendly, general communities like r/AskReddit, r/CasualConversation, or r/mildlyinteresting. These places are chaotic enough that you won't stand out.

• What NOT to Do: No posts, no comments. Just Upvote 5–8 posts or comments that you genuinely find interesting. Your activity should be very subtle and spread out.

[A Piece of Flavor Text That Adds Nothing]: Speaking of things that make you laugh, when was the last time you genuinely cried from laughter over a meme? Reddit is full of those moments. Warming up can be tedious, but sometimes you find a gem—like that Subreddit dedicated to fancy bread slicing. I almost forgot I was warming up! But I held firm. That, my friends, is discipline.

(The Quiet Part) Multi-Account Management Foundation: Environmental Isolation

If you're a "time management guru" running multiple accounts (say, Account A for tech, Account B for beauty), listen closely—this is CRITICAL.

You absolutely cannot switch between these accounts in the same browser. Reddit's system tracks your IP address, browser fingerprint, and much more, and will shout, "Gotcha! Coordinated activity!"

• The Solution: You need to give each account an independent "digital identity." This is where a specialized tool like MostLogin comes in. It ensures that every one of your Reddit accounts is running in a separate "computer" environment (different IP, different device parameters). To Reddit, Account A looks like it's logging in from a Mac in New York, and Account B looks like it's logging in from a Windows PC in London. This stops the platform from connecting your accounts right from the start.

Lesson 2: The Karma Grind (Day 4 until 100 Karma)

The core rule here is: Comment only, no posting! Comments are the fastest, safest way to rack up those precious Karma points.

1. Drop Value-Added Comments

• Where to Go: Stay in the big, friendly Subreddits. Look for the "New" section of Hot posts. Why? Hot posts have high traffic, meaning your new comment has a better chance of being seen and Upvoted.

• How to Do It: Write 3–4 thoughtful, "human" comments daily.

  • A Good Comment Example: If you see a thread in r/AskReddit about "Best childhood games," don't just say "Mario." Say: "Definitely Super Mario World. Especially that hidden level with Yoshi! It took me an entire summer to find it, and I still remember that sense of accomplishment." (It has detail and emotion.)

• The Goal: The more people Upvote your comments, the faster your Karma grows. Aim for at least 100 Karma; this opens the doors to most communities.

[Another Piece of Flavor Text]: I swear, sometimes the dumbest, most off-the-cuff remarks get the most Upvotes. So if you're feeling witty, go for it! But if you get Downvoted, don't take it personally. Strangers on the internet will forget you tomorrow. Life, like your Karma score, has its ups and downs.

2. Your First Post (About a Week In)

• Content: It absolutely must be a Text Post. No images, no links.

• What to Post: Ask a simple question that encourages discussion. For instance, in r/CasualConversation: "Is coffee more important than sunlight on a Sunday morning? Discuss." Simple, low-stakes, and inviting.

• Frequency: Once every 48 hours is enough. Take it slow.

Lesson 3: Becoming a "Real Member" (Post 100 Karma)

Congrats! Your account is officially a "grown-up." Now you can pivot toward your target communities. But remember, your persona must be "Expert," not "Salesperson."

1. The 80/20 Rule of Contribution and Promotion

• The Golden Rule: This is the key to surviving on Reddit. 80% of your activity must be pure community contribution; only 20% can be promotional or brand-related.

• In Practice:

  • 80% Contribution: If your target is financial tech, go into r/FinTech and spend your time answering technical questions, or sharing genuine insights on industry reports.

  • 20% Promotion (Be Smart): When you do promote, make it valuable. Don't say, "Check out my new product." Say: "We recently solved this huge industry headache, and here's a detailed breakdown of how we did it. Hopefully, this helps others." Post the article, but often, it's safer to put the link in the comments or ask people to DM you for the link. This sneaks past many automatic filters.

[The Final Piece of Flavor Text]: Many successful warm-up artists treat this whole process like "digital pet ownership." You feed it daily (comments), play with it (Upvotes), and watch the Karma score climb. It’s deeply satisfying. Keep the long-term game in mind, not the short-term sprint.

Safety Check: The "Real Life" of Multi-Accounts

If you're running multiple accounts, this is your final warning: they must look like totally unrelated people.

1. Don't Upvote Yourself: If Account B posts something amazing, using Account A to Upvote it is instant death. It's the easiest way to get linked.

2. Vary Habits: Account A is active at 9 AM; Account B is active at 8 PM. Account A writes long-form essays; Account B posts quick memes.

3. Use MostLogin: This is your digital fingerprint vault. It makes sure that to Reddit, your accounts appear to be operated by thousands of different computers and locations across the globe, eliminating the risk of a "mass ban." For safe, long-term operations on Reddit, environmental isolation is non-negotiable.
