Hey, I'm posting replies to old (+6 months ago) posts on reddit that already ranks on Google for a specific keyword

However, when I join from an incognito window my reply doesn't show up, and I'm not banned/shadowbanned since my profile and replies from newer posts shows up correctly

Do you know what's happening here?

You're not shadow banned if your new comments still appearing. This either has something to do with Reddit's filters, or the mods are removing your comments.

It happened the same in 3 different subreddits, maybe it was just reddit filters

FIXED!

I just commented something else related with the post and then modified it with my real comment

Right, so certain keywords are getting your content filtered out. You posted an organic response and later on edited it?
 
Reddit occasionally hides or collapes posts from old high value threads, particularly when the post is getting much traffic or the reply contains spam indicators. Verify that you can see the post both when not signed in and check whether the post has been marked as removed by a mod
 
They could have been hidden under a + button.

Mine for example first were hidden under a + button after a month (and of course they were indexed by good and bringing me traffic.

And after 2 more months a moderator just deleted it, even if it had positive replies and real users upvotes (But mine had an active URL in comment).

Interesting. Was this with a brand new account or an aged one? Curious if account age had anything to do with it.
 
I think Reddit may be treating those old threads differently. Some older posts get less visibility for new comments, even if your account is working fine.
 
this happens because google and sometimes reddit’s own indexing is still caching the reply state it saw earlier. incognito forces a fresh fetch, so you notice it more, while your normal browser may be showing updated results from cache or you’re seeing it because of personalized ranking.
 
That edit trick works for a bit but watch out because reddit has been re-scanning edited comments lately. if you are putting links in those edits they usually get ghosted after a few hours once the filter catches up. @nicoomore are you doing raw links or anchor text? naked domains trigger the filter way faster on old threads.
