- icedchai 7y agoActually it does. Just hit "next" when it prompts for an email. I just created another account 30 seconds ago, no email required.
- el_dev_hell 7y agoHuh.. Thanks for the tip!
- johndough 7y agoMy comments often don't show up when I don't verify an email address, which severely limits the use of anonymous accounts.
- Eleopteryx 7y agoTo me it seems like there are features of the site or certain subs that essentially shitlist you until your account is of a certain age or upvote quota. You're not wrong that posts by brand new accounts seem to be invisible sometimes.
- dpah 7y agoThey are employing a dark pattern to make it seem that way, but it isn't so. You can just click "next" without actually entering an email. But there is no indication that the field is optional.
- el_dev_hell 7y agoJust tried it and you're right. TIL reddit is almost Facebook.
