I’m not ready to drop reddit entirely and to create accounts there I need an email address. I don’t want to disclose my phone number or any other personal information.

I tried i2p, but for whatever reason, mail from reddit doesn’t get its way to the inbox.

What other providers could I use?

    I don’t use it myself, but I believe Proton (or Proton Mail?) doesn’t require any additional info. At least back when I checked it out before. There’s also mail.com, as well as a plethora of pros & cons lists for email providers out there to google (with add blockers).

    Reddit didn’t used to force email, try just clicking next. Otherwise you could use one of the dozens of “10 minute email” services.

    Maybe Firefox Relay is an idea? Generate a random mask that you give to reddit and it forwards to your actual email address. Then you can block any further emails.

    While not directly answering your question, you can create a reddit account with only a username (no email). You have to use old.reddit.com, click sign up and then when it prompts for an email just hit next. It should let you sign up with just a username and password.
