The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Oh, I just reconnect to different Mullvad servers until it connects to one that isn't flagged by Reddit, on the rare occasion I need info from a Reddit post.
Unfortunately for Reddit, I am more stubborn than they are, and will quite happily spend 5 minutes doing that instead of registering an account/going without a VPN. And if they "fix" that, I'm quite certain I could find a workaround.
They seem to not only use IP based techniques - they block me if I use wireguard to my dedicated server (who's public IP range has been mine for longer than wireguard exists and almost as long as Reddit exists) while I can access it directly from that IP without issues. And if I dial back into my home network it's basically 50/50 if it works or not.
they have vcaptcha v3, which im told it silently records you in the background and check for botting behavior, plus if you login with the same vpn+ip that has compromised reddit accounts. theres anti-detection browsers, mobile proxies, and additional need to let your account simmer after creating.
I have no account logged in and use FF private mode,but yeah. It's annoying.
Without the services I mentioned it's pretty hard to get around, and people use of on reddit uses those methods, and they pay, and it's not 100%. I used to create new accounts at a university library computer, so they almost never catch on if one receives a subreddit ban. Their AI looks for posting pattern writing style as well, so they are looking at everything you do, not just IP.
