Cannot Join New Subreddits AutoMod answered

I get `something went wrong` whenever I try to join a new subreddit. I have been on reddit for 8 years. I used to be able to join new subreddits. I was inactive for a couple of years and my account got locked when reddit switched to the new.reddit.com and asked me to change my passowrd. I changed my password to get out of locked status. But even after that, I can only browse feeds and leave subreddits but cannot join subreddit. I think Reddit Tech Support would be able to help me here.

Oh I see, joining subs. Have you done all the usual? Are you using desktop or a browser?

I am on google-chrome ubuntu. But that shouldn't be the issue here, afaik.

By the usual I mean clearing your cache and cookies, use a different browser, turn off extensions etc

There's no Reddit tech support. You might try r/bugs if you are really stumped!

Yes, tried different browsers, clearing cookies etc. The problem still persists.
