I have a Reddit account that’s about a year old with 30 karma. I connected it to a web app I'm building for Reddit marketing, but for some reason, whenever I comment on posts through the Reddit API, the comments get just 1 view and then stay stuck there forever.

I also tried commenting manually from the platform, but got the same result :/

Is there any way to avoid this kind of shadowban?

To avoid shadowban, verify accounts and activities manually, and use stable proxies/IPs instead of mass automation.

Just check your account from a private window (https://www․reddit․com/user/YOUR_USERNAME). If you can see your comments, you're not shadowbanned.

Sounds like your account might be shadowbanned.

Without building trust it's quite hard to use reddit.

API comments always felt sus to me, I only do manual now and haven’t been ghosted since.

This definitely sounds like a shadowban or some form of automated filtering. Reddit’s spam filters can be harsh, especially for newer accounts with low karma. To improve your chances, focus on engaging organically before using the API comment genuinely, upvote, and build trust. Also, avoid repetitive or generic comments and diversify the content you post. Make sure your app uses unique credentials and isn’t triggering rate limits. Sometimes, shadowbans lift after consistent, real activity, but if it persists, consider reaching out to Reddit support with clear context.

Avoid links for now, just do text-only comments to rebuild trust.

Sounds like you might be ghost banned. Try checking your profile in incognito.

Check your comment in incognito if it's not showing then yes your comment and account is shadowbanned because of low trust.
