How to check Domain ban on Reddit?

You can check if your domain is shadowbanned by trying to post it in a comment or post (in your own profile or a test subreddit like r/test). If it disappears instantly or doesn’t show to others, it's likely banned. Tools like "Reveddit" can help double-check too.
 
Easy, post your domain in a comment and see if it disappears immediately.
 
Easiest way is to try posting your domain in a comment or post (on a test account). If it disappears instantly or gives an error, it’s likely shadowbanned. You can also use tools like redditbanned .com or check with Pushshift logs to see if your links are getting indexed.
 
you can test it by posting the domain in a private subreddit—if it gets auto-removed instantly, it’s likely banned. Tools like 'removeddit' or 'reddit checker' can also help.
 
I usually test with a throwaway account and monitor if the post sticks.
 
Here's the most easiest way...

Send someone the domain in a chat. If it's banned, you'll see an error

If it's not, the domain will go through (delete your message once it goes thru)
 
Use a test account with decent karma and post your domain in a comment or text post (not a direct link post).

Watch for this behavior:


  • ✅ Post shows and gets upvotes → Not banned
  • ⚠️ Post disappears instantly after posting → Domain might be auto-filtered
  • ❌ You can see the post, but logged-out users or others can’t → Shadowbanned
 
Easiest way—try posting the domain in a comment or post on a low-traffic sub. If it disappears instantly or shows as [removed], it’s likely shadowbanned. No official checker tool exists.
 
You can check if your domain is banned by trying to post it in a comment or post on Reddit. If it's banned, Reddit will block the submission with an error.
