      Yeah, I was shadowbanned twice in a week because Reddit filters are garbage.

      What does shadow banning typically look like? I would assume you don’t get a notification? How do you find out?

        Logout and browse your user profile page via old.Reddit it’ll say banned or suspended.

          Ah. That’s even easier. Good to know how to quickly check.

          haha. seeing as I don’t usually get much interaction I would never notice.

          switched to lemmy as main platform on my phone a few days ago anyway. when boost for reddit finally was blocked completely. will try to be more active here and hope many other people do the same… there is a good chance with all that’s going on.

        How do you find out?

        I assume looking at reddit through an incognito window and seeing none of your posts appearing

          Hmm. Will try it some time. Sometimes it feels like being shadow-banned… but TBH it’s more likely just not so active communities / mediocre contribution on my part.
