I’ve been using reddit for over a decade and there’s a few subreddits I’ve been banned from (/r/news, /r/crazyfuckingvideos, etc). Unfortunately, I keep forgetting when I’m browsing. If I accidentally comment in one of those my current account gets banned for ban evasion. Is there a browser extension that can block participation in certain communities but still allow you to see content? I can’t keep having my current reddit accounts permenantly banned like this and then lose all my subscriptions and preferences and friends etc. This has happened twice already.

Please help.

    Best of luck to you with this question. Reddit is actively hostile to developers writing tools to change the way users interact with the platform.

    They only want you using it the way they intended and no other way. Bridges have been burned with developers that maintained these kinds of tools. This is a huge part of why many users are on Lemmy in the first place.

    There is a chance that you could use an ad blocker to prevent you from accessing those.
