Could this be a penalty, or is it something else ?

Domain.com is top of the search results.
Domain com is nowhere to be found

sitemap_index.xml (from yoast seo) shows discovered pages 0, however post_sitemap.xml shows 200+ posts in the Google WMT

Then your domain, after my own experience, is on the penalty from Google.
The sitemap_index.xml is the main trick to see if your domain has an issue with Google or not.
If sitemap_index.xml was showing Discovery +1 and blank when you click on it, then it was a sandbox, but if it is showing Discovery 0 is a penalty.
I'm saying this from my own experience; if someone else tested this and can validate it, let me know.

The thing is that I probably bought the domain like this, considering I've only added quality content since I started the website and nothing more. I will probably change it and see what happens in a couple of months after that. I'll probably drip feed the same content on the new domain in a few months.

About this issue is recent, i started 5 new blogs, and all 5 happen at the start, they started getting the impression from Google Search, and after max 2 weeks, the impression dropped to 0, and sitemap_index.xml inside is blank, and searching Google domain com is not anymore.
But in the start was all good, is weird 5 new blog projects happen the same issue.
2 Domains are old 6+ years and 3 Domains are new and have the same issue.
Im not sure what Google did, but after my own experience is impossible now to start a new blog.
Im not sure if you buy strong backlinks can fix this issue (Didn't test it)

Have you tested the new ones to see if they had any history ? I thought I have bought a new domain but after running it through this https://whoisrequest.com/history/ i saw it was expired 4 times before i bought it.

The new ones were never used, but the old domains were used.

Damn, I woke up today to another 15 deindexed articles ...... there must be some penalty....I am beginning to seriously believe there is something wrong with the domain.

We are talking about deindexed posts here, not low visitors.

My website has 200+ posts and almost no posts in google. People can't find the posts.

Could this be a penalty, or is it something else ?
