Almost every post that I want to make on any group no matter how big/small/old/new goes into "Pending admin approval"
The issue is in majority of this groups the admins are not even active so they neither reject or approve the posts. So they end up pending forever
Is my FB account shadowbanned or flagged in any way?
I checked Meta center and I have no violations or anything like that
Out of 20 different posts that I tried to make today only one went through on a smaller group.
I really don't understand, I am not using AI, not sharing links and I can clearly see that in the same groups that I am posting there are people with posts worst than mine (obvious AI) that just get approved instantly without any sort of "pending"
So I definitely think it's not group related
By the way I am doing this from personal profile. Should I maybe change to page instead, could that help?

Yeah I’ve seen this happen quite often with FB groups lately Sometimes the request just stays pending for days even when the group looks active
 
don't see why an account would be shadowbanned because an admin may be inactive

i do not think this automatically means u are shadowbanned. facebook can send posts to approval bcuz of activity filters, even when ur account has no violations. i would slow down on posting for a bit nd avoid swittching to a page just to fix this.

what do you mean activity filters?
if I switch to page 100% will fix this?
 
20 groups in one day could trigger Facebook’s automated spam filters I’d slow down for a few days and see if approvals improve

I didn't say I made 20 posts
I said I tried
From first post to the last one same thing happen
I just switch multiple groups to see if this repeat
 
I would not call it a shadowban yet. The account might have a light posting restriction. I have seen similar cases before, and slowing down for a few days usually helped. I would not switch to a Page yet.
 
I think Facebook may be temporarily limiting your account because you posted in too many groups in a short time. I’d take a few days off and start posting more slowly instead of switching to a Page.
 
How do you handle those accounts and how do you set them up?
I don't know if it might be a shadowban but this all depends on how you set them up
 
The issue of pending admin approval has happened to me before but not on my main account, it was a newly created account. I started noticing it when I posted many times and few post went through.
I wrote to FB support and explained everything to them, they solved the issue. Since then, I haven't encounter any issue like that again.

I don't think this necessarily means your account is shadowbanned. If your Account Status is clean, it could be related to Facebook's automated moderation or the approval settings of the groups
