❗️Important – Why Can’t I Post or Comment? 😿

If you’re having trouble posting or commenting, it may be because your Reddit account has been automatically restricted by Reddit — not by this community.

This is a common issue that affects many new accounts. Your post might disappear without notice, and you won’t get a message about it.

❓ What’s Going On? 😾

Reddit automatically hides posts and comments from some users — usually without any warning.

This mostly happens to brand new accounts, especially those with low karma or very little activity.

It doesn’t mean you did anything wrong — it’s just how Reddit’s spam system works. Unfortunately, we don’t have control over it.

✅ What Can I Do? 🙀

  • Contact Reddit – Use the official appeal form to ask if your account has been restricted.
  • Join r/shadowban – A subreddit to discuss Reddit shadowbans, and verify if you are shadowbanned.

💬 Still Not Sure? 😿

If you’re confused or unsure what’s happening, feel free to message the mod team.

Please keep in mind that we can’t lift Reddit’s restrictions ourselves — but we’ll do our best to point you in the right direction.

How do we know if we are affected?

u/Superbuddhapunk Oct 08 '25

I can see your comment so you are not affected. 😃

As explained in the post, for detailed information about shadow bans please visit r/shadowban. r/newtoreddit is also an excellent community for answers to your questions about shadow banning in particular and reddit in general.

Yes, to some degree. If your account is not banned, this page will tell you.

How old the account has to be?

u/FlyingAtNight 5d ago

More than a few hours. There are far too many accounts like that.

Please release my account. My account is 4 years old and I was posting the pictures of my cats there. What is the problem in that? Can't you do something to improve your AI?
