Posted comments are not showing

[Right Seven]

Hi,
I am facing a problem now. I post in the reddit community and then add comments to the posts. However, sometimes, only I can see the comments I posted.
When I use other accounts to browse the posts I posted, I can see that the number of comments on the post is 1, but this comment will not be displayed. What's going on?
I checked the account which I posted and commented, and it was not banned.
After a while, I tried to post the comment again and it might display.

Short answer: Reddit anti spam filter. No one 100% knows why it happens but it will always happen no matter what you do so just post more/again.

Long answer: Reddit have a lot of anti spam random filters that make it hard for spammers/advertisers/bots/malicious users to notice a pattern, for example they will sometimes flag your post and it will be removed instantly and then when you post the same post like 10 minutes later it will be up and not removed.

No one truly knows how their anti spam filter works, but one thing I can tell you is IP from which you post and account history is really 2 most important things.
If reddit is suspicious of your account (can happen anytime for any reason) it will start bombarding you with those kind of anti spam removals or you will be unable to post for "unknown error" and stuff like that. It is same way you always see different amount of upvotes when you refresh page or even different amount of comments (on larger posts).

Best course of action is to ensure that you have quality IPs (4g, residential or any clean IPs) and that your account is warmed up. Also if using any automation be careful and try to remove as much fingerprints as you can.

Best of luck!

The above short and long answers are false. Your comments not showing means the commented account is shadowbanned not banned. Check the profile by opening on different browser you will see

Shadowbanned, don't overcomplicate it

You need a expert. Also, don't post too much or even expert won't be able to help

You need someone with old account like 5-6 years old and good karma to do a comment

Might be trigger words used in posts, or you might had warnings on that account before

Not always this means the account is shadowbanned, the contents of a post/comment can be filtered for multiple other reasons.

To find out the reason, op will need to isolate every possible factor like proxy, account, posting method, comment content, test on different subreddits etc and test them individually.

The comments not being shown but count being shown means shadowbanned. ALWAYS

This is usually related to the filters specific to the subreddit you're posting in. It can happen if you have very low karma or a new account. It can be something else, but 90% of the time this is the issue.

It absolutely doesn't mean that account was shadowbanned or banned, it just means it was removed by anti spam filter, you can post with the same account and comment will be up next time probably.
