Title: *"How can I reddit check if 2 users are the same person? Any tricks?"*
Hey y’all, so I’ve been noticing two accounts that *feel* suspiciously similar—same writing style, similar subs, and weirdly timed activity.
Is there a legit way to reddit check if 2 users are the same person? I’ve heard about:
- Post history overlap (do they comment on the same niche stuff?)
- Timing patterns (like always active at the same hours)
- Typos/quirks (same weird phrases or misspellings)
But how reliable is this? Anyone tried tools like *Reddit Investigator* or just old-school sleuthing?
Also, does Reddit *ever* confirm alts, or is it all guesswork?
Thanks in advance! (and sorry if this is a dumb q lol)

Honestly, trying to reddit check if 2 users are the same person is mostly guesswork unless they slip up big time. I’ve used Reddit Investigator before, and it’s decent for spotting overlaps in subs or posting times.
But Reddit itself won’t confirm alts—admins keep that stuff locked down. Your best bet is looking for unique quirks, like if both accounts use the same niche slang or make the same rare typos.
Also, check if they ever reply to each other—some alts accidentally “talk” to themselves lol.

If you’re serious about digging, try SnoopSnoo. It breaks down a user’s activity, word clouds, and common subs.
For a reddit check if 2 users are the same person, compare their SnoopSnoo reports side by side. If the word choices or active hours match too closely, it’s sus.
But yeah, no 100% way unless they admit it.

I’ve caught alts before by checking their *deleted* posts. Some tools like Unddit or Reveddit let you see removed content.
If both accounts delete posts in the same subs or scrub similar comments, that’s a red flag. Timing + deletion patterns are huge for a reddit check if 2 users are the same person.
Downside? These tools break often ‘cause Reddit hates archivers.

Pro tip: Look for *cross-account* references. Some alts accidentally mention their main in comments or posts.
Also, check if they upvote each other’s stuff religiously. That’s a dead giveaway.
For tools, Pushshift’s API (when it works) can help track activity overlap. But it’s kinda technical.

Wow, thanks for all the tips! I tried SnoopSnoo and the word clouds were *scarily* similar—same niche terms and even matching slang.
One thing I noticed: both accounts post in r/whatever at like 3 AM EST, then vanish for hours. Super sus.
Follow-up Q: If I report this, should I include all this sleuthing, or will admins just ignore it?
(Also, big thanks for the Unddit suggestion—gonna dig into deletions next!)

It’s all circumstantial, but here’s what I do:
- Check if they *avoid* interacting (alts often steer clear of each other to not look linked).
- Peek their trophy cases—shared rare trophies? Sus.
- Use a VPN to see if their “location-based” subs match.
No perfect method, but stacking small clues helps.

Reddit won’t tell you squat, so it’s all detective work.
Try this: Copy-paste chunks of their comments into a plagiarism checker. If the phrasing matches weirdly, bingo.
Also, some alts reuse the same pics or links. Reverse-image-search their posts if they share any.

Timing is everything. If both accounts go silent at the exact same time for days, that’s sketch.
I wrote a script once to log activity spikes—found two alts posting within minutes of each other, *every time*.
Overkill? Maybe. But it worked.

Don’t forget the *vote patterns*. If one account always upvotes the other’s new posts instantly, that’s a bot or an alt.
Tools like RedditMetis give a breakdown of voting habits. Not foolproof, but helpful for a reddit check if 2 users are the same person.
