I’m facing the same issue — seems like a shadow restriction or maybe a recent Facebook bug
Facebook group post says “Published” but disappears – anyone else?

Yes, I am facing the same issue as well. My post initially shows as approved, but after refreshing the page once, the post can no longer be found. I have checked the pending and deleted sections, but the post does not appear there either.

Not a bug - thats silent filtering. FB lets the UI say published but the backend kills reach if your account or pattern is flagged, anon posts get hit first. Usually triggered by posting same angle across groups, links, or weak account trust - once it starts, editing text wont fix it. Only real outs are cooldown the account hard or switch to a cleaner aged profile + slower posting, otherwise every post just ghosts.

Yeah, I’ve seen something very similar and it’s super confusing because Facebook gives you the “published” message like everything is fine. In a lot of cases it’s not a true bug — it’s more like a silent filter where the post gets suppressed due to account trust signals, group rules/keywords, or automatic spam detection.

I've encountered a similar situation; it was due to restrictions on my account.Facebook sometimes auto-suppresses group posts (especially anonymous ones) without notifications if trust is low or behavior triggers filters. Posts may show briefly and then get removed silently. It often fixes itself after a cooldown, but repeated group posting can extend it. Try reducing activity, posting less frequently, and avoid links or promotional wording for a while.

This is a common error when Facebook thinks you are spamming posts and has automatically put them in the spam folder. It could also be due to a Facebook system error or the account is under a light restriction. Check your gmail to see if there are any notifications from Facebook or go to the post management section to know the current status.

Facebook occasionally conceals posts—especially anonymous ones—or restricts your account; this might be a glitch or a shadowban.
This usually happens because Facebook's automated spam filter is flagging your content and moving it directly to the group's "Spam" or "Flagged" folder, which even admins sometimes miss. Try posting without any links or images for a day to see if it sticks, as the algorithm often shadowbans specific accounts that post the same thing in multiple groups.

This is a common Facebook issue and is usually due to temporary account or group-level restrictions, spam filters, or automated moderation—not a visible “ban.”
It’s rarely a bug; Facebook often silently limits posting (especially anonymous posts) without notifying the user.

I’ve experienced this before as well. It’s possible that the group admin removed the post. In many groups, posts are moderated strictly, and some require prior approval or special posting rules set by the admin before content is shown.
