Reddit used to let everyone view your post and comment history, but in recent years, you can make your profile private. You can hide your posts, comments, and the subreddits you're a part of. If you want to do this, click your profile icon once you've logged in to Reddit, and go to Settings > Profile. Alternatively, you can follow the direct link to Reddit's profile settings page. Click the drop-down menu next to Content & Activity, and select Hide all. You should also turn off Online Status on the same page to stop people from seeing when you're using Reddit.
Use Old Reddit by default to disable infinite scrolling

Preferences and turn off Use community themes. If you're using Old Reddit, click the preferences button in the top-right corner, and under "display options," disable allow subreddits to show me custom themes.
Disable social features to stop strangers from bothering you
Privacy, and turn off Allow people to follow you. On the same page, click Who can send you chat requests, and pick Nobody. You can also turn off Show up in search results to remove your profile from Google searches.
Turn off ad personalization and block ads to reduce tracking
If you want to reduce Reddit's tracking, you should turn off ad personalization. Go to Reddit Settings > Privacy, and turn off Personalize ads. To block Reddit's ads altogether, you can use any ad blocker you like. I recommend uBlock Origin, which is one of the best ad blockers you can install, though most can hide Reddit's ads on desktop. On mobile, you can try using AdGuard or Wipr to hide in-app ads in Reddit.
Disable all email alerts to stop Reddit's spammy messages

Use a throwaway email ID to create burner accounts on Reddit
Reddit doesn't let you sign up without an email address or phone number anymore. This makes it a little annoying to create burner accounts, but it's not impossible. In fact, you can create multiple Reddit accounts with the same email address, as long as you use aliases on Gmail or any other email service of your choice. For more privacy, you can use services that provide disposable email addresses, such as Yopmail.
Use advanced search filters to search Reddit like a pro
After all these years, Reddit's built-in search still leaves something to be desired—at least, on the surface. To find posts on Reddit faster, use search filters on the site. For instance, adding "title:" to your search will limit the results to post titles, and boolean operators such as AND, OR, and NOT also work for advanced searches on the site.
