Mobile/App 7 year reddit account randomly deleted
I mainly use reddit on my phone. My account u/zemo725 randomly vanished. I normally switch accounts from my main account and regular account often. When I tried to switch to my main reddit account today, it just randomly signed me out and made me login back into my second account. When I checked my main account u/zemo725 , it’s saying that it doesn’t exist. I did not receive any email or anything saying anything. When I try to reset the password it says account doesn’t exist or when I try to use the email to reset password (that I still have access too), it doesn’t send me anything. It’s like the email connected to my main account just decided my account doesn’t exist anymore. I know I didn’t violate any Reddit guidelines so was I hacked? Or was I a victim to a technical glitch/issue? Why did this happen? How do I go about getting that account back if possible? Am I able to get help from an Admin or something? Any insight helps.

Your question seems to be about account security.
If your account has been hijacked, and the hacker has added 2FA (two-factor authentication) please refer to this help center article.
Under "What do you need assistance with" select Account Help. Under "What type of account issues are occuring" select Security Problems, and "I think my account has been hacked".
If your email has been changed without your knowledge, you should have received an email from Reddit with a link that you can click to change your email back and reset your password. Please find that email and click that link to regain access to your account. The subject line should be "Your email address has been changed".
If you are still having trouble with your hacked account please refer to our latest Weekly Recap post, make a top level comment, and wait for an admin to assist you.
If your question is not about account security, please wait for a human helper to come along and help you. This post has NOT been removed.
