many people don't know this, but there is a quick way to check if your reddit account is shadowbanned
right click on your profile user anywhere on reddit and open in incognito

if your account is good it will show the usual page of your profile (comments. posts, account karma,..)
if your account is banned it will show an error saying the user doesn't exist/banned or something like that
 
Good post, but it doesn't work if your account is NSFW. It asks you to login.

it works for NSFW too but in different way, if the account is good it asks you to login to view the content, if the account is banned you see the 'no user' or 'user banned' as shown above
 
The easiest way to check if your acc is shadowbanned is to have at least one pinned post. If your pinned post is removed from the top position that means you're shadowbanned. Also, you can't pin posts when you're shadowbanned.

I think this is a more viable way to check if you're shadowbanned.
