Hi, may I know if anyone else is facing this issue?

When I post in Facebook groups (both anonymous and non-anonymous), the system shows "Post published successfully", but the post never appears in the group.

Sometimes it shows for a short moment and then disappears without any notice.

It’s not being deleted, and there’s no sign of it going into review – it just vanishes like it never existed.
This happens more often with anonymous posts, but lately, even regular posts are affected.
Could this be a Facebook bug, or is my account possibly restricted in some way?

Appreciate if anyone can share their experience. Thanks!

Click on manage post, should go to pending or deleted post.

Sometimes this is because the facebook account isn’t strong or has some issues.

Another is the post you’re trying to post, the keywords might have been blocked by facebook
 
This is a common issue many users face, often due to mild account restrictions or Facebook filtering posts suspected as spam, even without clear notifications. Try checking your support inbox, reduce posting frequency, and avoid posting the same content in multiple groups. If the problem persists, try posting from a different account or IP to test.

Click on 'Manage Posts' to see the current status of your post. This issue might be caused by one of the following reasons: the post was filtered by the group’s algorithm, or your account may be shadow-restricted.
 
Yeah, I’ve seen this happen too recently.
Sometimes it’s a soft shadowban or group-specific filter. Even normal posts can vanish if FB flags the profile, IP, or posting pattern.
Try posting from a different IP/device or slightly changing the text

Still cant post the normal, many group cant post and very hard
 
This usually happens due to Facebook’s spam or content filters silently blocking posts, especially in groups with strict rules or high activity. It might be a temporary bug, but often your account or post type (like anonymous) is flagged as suspicious. Try posting less frequently, avoid spammy content, or contact group admins to check if your posts are auto-hidden.
 
But some can post more cant post the group
 
Yes, this happens when posts are auto flagged by Facebook for review or violate group settings. Try editing the content (e.g. links, keywords) and reposting. Also check if admin approval is required.
 
Yes, I’ve seen this happen occasionally. In most cases, it seems like a system glitch rather than a restriction. Sometimes the post shows up later, but not always.

fb showing posts as published but then they disappear sounds like a soft restriction or glitch. happens more with anon posts but even regular ones getting hit now. meta just buggy lately fr
 
This issue can happen due to Facebook’s automated spam filters or temporary bugs; your posts might be hidden or auto-removed without notice, especially in large groups or with anonymous posts—check if your account has restrictions, try posting in smaller groups, or report the problem to Facebook support.
 
I think your account has been restricted. Please check your notifications (including spam) to see if you received any warnings.
 
please check your connection again, i think the problem is with the connection maybe your network is unstable.
 
It usually happens when the account or post content is flagged by Facebook’s invisible filters. Even though it says “Published,” the post gets shadow-blocked. Using trusted, aged profiles and avoiding flagged content types can help. You might want to test from another account or rotate your IP/browser setup to see if it persists.
 
Bro, sometimes posting is difficult, so you should read the Meta rules clearly.
 
It is possible that some group rules caused your post to be hidden, even if it is small, the post may be automatically removed or it may be manually deleted by a moderator. If it is deleted, you can see the notification.
