Is that why reddit was IP blocking people from seeing content even though they weren't logged in?

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

That happened to me the other day. I did absolutely nothing about it and it had cleared up 15 minutes later.

If you're not using a VPN, try resetting your IP by unplugging the router for like 30s - that is, if you're still interested.

Fun fact: the Startpage proxy works on Reddit, albeit buggy:

I did this too and I was still blocked. I ended up creating an account and was able to view content logged into an account. I really didn't want a reddit account though.

Are you using a VPN?

Does reddit block VPNs?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

they do. the common ones. the other way to get around its using complicated methods proxies, anti-detect browsers, new devices in a specific setup to avoid reddit detection.

yes, they aren't as effective as kroger.com or usps.com, though. You can occasionally find unblocked vpn servers w/reddit

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nope.

Huh, weird. Maybe you're just cursed. You didn't happen to buy an amulet from a gypsy woman?

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That happened to me as well but it worked in incog windows for some reason

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Also not incognito.
