Hello everyone ,

Feels like my post are not getting any reach at all.

No upvotes , no views. Could this be a Shadow ban?
How do you guys check or fix this?

Honestly feels more like normal low reach than shadowban, happens to me too when posts don’t get early engagement. Usually it picks up only when timing or content hits right.

If your post has 2 views and you can't see it under "New" tab on subreddit that means your post or account is shadowbanned.
Easy way to check is to go on different account or log out of reddit and go to that subreddit check and check new posts or enter profile url and you will see if you are banned.

Yeah, that usually looks like a shadowban or at least heavy filtering.

First thing I do is log out or use another account and check if the post is visible — if not, it’s likely suppressed. Common reasons: new account, low karma, posting too fast, or certain keywords/links. Fix is slow it down — normal activity, build some karma, avoid links for a bit. It usually clears once the account looks more “natural".

Could be shadowban or just low trust on the account. Easiest check is see if posts show up when logged out. If not then account or subreddit filters are probably hiding them.

I think it Happens a lot, not always shadow ban. Try posting in right sub or forum time and improve title, sometimes reach is low just because of timing or topic.

Could be, but first thing I’d check is how old the account is. Is it a new one?
New accounts usually get almost no reach at the start, especially if there’s not much activity or history yet. It can look like a shadow ban when it’s just the account not being “trusted” yet.
