Will Krishna accept my devotion if I won't join any specific Sampradaya?

Hare Krishna,
Why not He will accept even simple devotees. He accepts the devotion of a cobbler.

Watch this video. You will realize. Are you such simple devotee like the cobbler in the story?
Simply just believing in whatever told by the Aarcharyas?
If you just believe without questioning the authority and take the given instructions as it is. Then you will surely follow what Purva aacharyas told also.
Previous Aacharyas told that to join the Sampradaya and follow the guidelines given and then you can reach Krishna.
Krishna Himself said that in BG 4.34 Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him submissively and render service unto him. The self-realized souls can impart knowledge unto you because they have seen the truth.
Now, Simply if you are bondhu ram just like the cobbler simply believe in what the spirutual masters told yes why not.

Yes, Krsna will accept pure devotional service even if someone doesn't belong to any specific Sampradaya.
Examples : Meerabai, Tukarama, Garuda.
Hare Krsna
what is pure and what is impure devotional service?
Hare Krsna
anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyaṁ
jñāna-karmādy-anāvṛtam
ānukūlyena kṛṣṇānu-
śīlanaṁ bhaktir uttamā
One should render transcendental loving service to the Supreme Lord Kṛṣṇa favorably and without desire for material profit or gain through fruitive activities or philosophical speculation. That is called pure devotional service.(Bhakti Rasamrita Sindhu 1.1.11)
Impure or mixed devotional service is when devotional service is performed with personal motive for some result or mental speculation.
Example : King Pururava worshipped Sri Vishnu to get Urvashi. This is not pure devotional service. Prahlad boy performed pure devotional service and he did not want anything in return.
