I have been facing this problem for a long time now. Just few minutes after creating the reddit account, it keeps showing that there is some server error(on the web). And my profile is no longer visible. Can't update my profile settings. Anything I post is not visible to anyone. I tried reaching out for help, but reddit's helping system is weird. I need to post in subreddits for help. Like my posts are not even visible, so posting it i donno if it will help. But I still did post. And didn't get response. I tried deleting the account and created new accounts. But the problem remains. I emailed them but no response as well. What should I do?

Stop trying. They don't want you, and it's unlikely to change by registering again and again.

Did you try https://reddit.com/appeal ?

A couple years ago my sole 13-year-old account was suddenly plunged into "everything you ever wrote is gone" limbo one morning.

My appeal was granted (!) but they didn't actually fix anything, and now I can't use the appeals page because it falsely claims my account is normal and in good standing. Infuriating.

Thank you. I didn't know about this. Just posted an appeal to them. Let's see what happens.
