I use VPNs, can I still make a throwaway on Reddit? (lemmy.ml)

I haven't posted to that site in years so I'm out of the loop with how their anti-spam/shadowbanning works. There's a community I want to post in which basically only exists there and Discord.

(Worst case, I can visit a shop and use their WiFi, this isn't Top Secret or anything, but would be nice if I didn't have to.)

I recently signed up for an account on a VPN with a throwaway address, as usual—I torch my account every few months and start a new one—and was almost instantly shadowbanned. This may have been due to other factors, though...like the fact I posted a question in the mason bees sub? :D
