My account posts stopped showing up in "top" with sensitive search enabled.

Over the past week, I was getting great traction from non-followers, lots of likes and steady new followers.

My distribution was looking good, but starting yesterday, my engagement and reach completely tanked. When I checked my posts from an alt account with the sensitive content filter enabled, nothing showed up under the "Top" tab, only in "Latest".

Has anyone experienced this recently, or is this a soft shadowban/filter issue? Is there any way to fix it?

Could be a temporary ranking issue, but it also sounds like some kind of visibility filter.

Try to avoid making big changes for a few days, keep posting normally, and see if the reach recovers before assuming it's a shadowban.

If your posts still appear under "Latest" but not "Top," it doesn't automatically mean you're filtered. Sometimes it fixes itself after a few days.

If the system flags posts in your account (especially those containing images or videos) as sensitive—or if you have enabled the "Mark as sensitive when posting media" setting—these posts will disappear from your own search results. This affects only the search results you see; it does not change how your posts appear in searches performed by others.

I haven't uploaded any pictures or videos to the account as of yet, and I apparently have a "search suggestion ban". It's odd considering that I have the "mark as sensitive" button turned off.
