I don't know the other metrics :') Voting patterns are probably in use checking how often users vote alongside other accounts and building a picture of group-voting. IP addresses will definitely be logged and used as a metric. I think it's safe to assume there's probably more things in use tracking users on phone versions of the site or apps compared to the pc version. Reddit probably also knows exactly where you work.
They can just tell some stuff about your browser, system, and location.
Because there are so many combinations, (chrome version X, device Y, in town Z, with adblocker A, language B, etc. and many other settings) you have an almost unique fingerprint. They can see that you logged out of one account and into another one, and then those two accounts are forever linked in their system.
I would like to know more.
