Anyone know how to use reddit with tor? (lemmy.ml)

Been trying to use reddit with tor and the reddit mods have shadow banned me on multiple accounts and I have sent an appeal on all of them so will need to wait for them to get back to me on this, but I don't think they will lift it to be honest.

create a real throwaway email, outlook.com allows you to create an email without a phone number

that's the single best thing to do so you don't get shadow banned but here are a couple of other things:

subscribe to a couple of subreddits (mix default and non-default)
upvote random posts (from new, hot, top)
comment generic, known things on default subs

that should make your account pretty safe, even on tor
