Sign-upWorks

A tester in Syria reported registering a new Reddit account successfully; the new account's menu was open in the same session.

Sign-inWorks

Signing in to Reddit worked from Syria; the browsing test was run inside a signed-in account, and the sign-in step itself was not captured.

Buying Reddit Premium from Syria did not get past the plan prices: the tester reported that no payment option appeared, so the subscription could not be completed.
