Not sure if they block VPNs too, but there are a bunch of other instances that proxy/clean up reddit, you can use something like libredirect to automate the redirection and instance list management.

This was so helpful, thank you so much! I genuinely couldn’t find any solutions to the reddit vpn thing, so I just stopped using reddit. Web searches are garbage now, can’t believe I didn’t find this.

You can use an alternate frontend for Reddit though - such as "https://safereddit.com/"

But obviously you then have to trust that frontend to not be spying on you too.

VPN sure, it can be annoying.

I didn't know Reddit blocked access when you don't have an account. It works fine on desktop without logging in, on mobile web for some content they lie about "this content has not been reviewed", but one click on the view desktop mode suddenly makes this a non-issue. Could be a geography based restriction.

P.S. I am not saying they are lying about the review status of content, they are lying about the reason for not showing content on mobile without logging in.

Mechanize suggested the nerdvpn link, it works!

Otherwise, on PC or mobile Reddit is blocked for me like forever. I never turn off the VPN, so I did not use Reddit in a long time (and usually nothing of value was lost).
