Does Reddit monitor IP address and provide content


Hello, The strangest thing has started happening on reddit. I have an account but 99% of the time I browse not logged in to enjoy random content. But recently its been spamming me with subreddits I would never go to and have never gone to. One or two posts in a feed would be fine browsing r/home but this is getting bad. 20 or 30 of the some subreddits that I do not interact with at all.

I live in a duplex and share the internet with everyone. I'm wondering if someone in the house is on those subreddits so its spamming me with them too?

They offer "subreddits nearby" so that would suggest ip-based geolocation.
