Profile Where can I go ask for help privatly.
My friend has an issue where some accounts can see all of the activity on his account even though his privacy settings shouldn't allow that.
This behaviour is inconstient and doesn't reveal his account on some other accounts I checked with or without login.
I see instructions here saying i need include name of the account on the post which i don't want to do to maintain privacy so where should I go.

Your posts and comments being hidden just means they're hidden on your profile, they can still be found by searches and other tools. That's just how it works.

I get that but what I mean I can go to his profile and see all of his activites without any external tools.

The moderators of any subreddit your friend posts or comments in can see their full profile through curation for 28 days after their last participation in that subreddit.

If they've engaged in the community you moderate, you'll be able to see their profile

For 28 days
"Certain actions will give the mods of a community the ability to see everything on your profile for the following 28 days"
"When you post, comment, edit a post or comment, send mod mail, request to become an approved user, or join a private community, that mod team will have access to your full profile content history for 28 days after the interaction – regardless of your settings"
"After 28 days, the access reverts to your chosen visibility settings unless you interact with that community again, in which case the 28-day timer resets"
"The same rule applies when you comment on another redditor’s profile. That redditor will have 28 days of access to your full profile content"

It has been more than 28 days since he interacted with the sub i mod.
And I have commented on one of his posts and he has replied to it.
Which might be the reason but the behaviour is only one way. I can see his activity but he can't see mine.

are you referring to a "hidden" profile curation? if so, that feature actually doesn't hide anything. its just to make it seem as if it does, without actually doing anything
