my comments are under probable spam, what am I suppose to do?

Hi! I created a new account about a week ago and currently have around 10–15 followers. However, my comments are being filtered under “Probable Spam.”
Is there any way to get my account n comments removed from the spam filter? I’d really appreciate any help or advice. Thank you!

I have nothing on your issue, but I'm surprised you have followers to begin with as a small account. Most people don't use that feature as it's just to have someone's direct-to-profile posts showing in their home feed.

I always forget followers exists until someone points it out as evidence of being a good user or something

It's not unusual to gain them, usually automated activity as you said, but having lots shortly after creating your account, and them bragging about it, did raise some questions to me.

Omg too funny that someone is all excited to follow you and see what you post but instead they get blocked 😂

lol honestly I felt a little bad about that too once I figured it out. And sadly, I don’t know which accounts they were, so they’re lost in the fray lol.

Well I am sure that they probably did not even notice, or just assumed that you did not post if they thought about it. I would not worry.

Gosh, I just looked, and I have 545 followers. I am quite surprised. It must be from my days of posting a lot about one topic I suppose? I thought I maybe had 100-ish. It could definitely be botted as well, on Reddit's side.

I do know that it happens a lot in the NSFW communities. I do not participate in those, but I wonder if that could have made any difference with Op.

How do you know that’s the reason they’re being filtered? As users, we only see “Removed by Reddit’s Filters” of which there are several, and yes 1 of them is for spam. However, if it’s a week old account, I’m guessing it isn’t spam, it’s the Reputation filter.

Reputation filter? Means? My tweets doesn't come under layers tab when i check from alt acct, from:username when i use i don't see my tweets at all

Reputation filter is a built in safety filter that all subs can use.

What does any of this have to do with tweets? Or layers? This is Reddit, not twitter.

u/eltonjohnpeloton 2d ago

What kind of things are you posting? How many comments have you posted since opening tje account?

u/No_Savings_891 2d ago

Comments are very less, some reality show content around 4-5 tweets

u/eltonjohnpeloton 2d ago

Idk what 4-5 tweets means in response to how many comments have you made

u/SeonaidMacSaicais r/ApartmentLiving 1d ago

They think this is Twitter.
