    I just found out about this too, but on Samsung phones you can install an app on the “secure folder” and that’s basically another device ID so even if you install the app there it doesn’t ban you.

    Recently changed my phone, and while my new phone is completely reddit free, I tried this “secure folder” thing on my old phone(installed the official app via apk but patched to remove ads) that already was banned with a completely new account and so far it’s working well, I’ve left a few comments and such and haven’t been shadowbanned.

    Now I’ll probably won’t post or do much on it anyways, I’m committing to use it less and less, but I can’t really confidently say that Lemmy fills out all communities as Reddit does

        Yeah me too. Honestly I like knowing that I CAN use it if needed, specially if there’s an obscure IT question I might need help with. But having it on a whole other phone let’s me not want to use it because it would mean having a whole other device to take care of battery and ughh you lost me there , so that’s my compromise, I keep it on my desk turned off until needed

          I recognize this as English.

          I’ll have to look into everything you said here. I may be old, but I’m always game to learn new tricks. Thanks.

              I’m not at that level of need right now. I think I will be satisfied browsing information on the topic for now. But seriously, thank you. That is very kind.
