Hello redditors

Is there any way to understand if my reddit user is shadowbanned? I can check any user if it is banned. problem is some of my user is showing ok, but when i post a thread with those user the posts are automatically disappeared.
 
Don't know any official method about it but there is a subreddit /r/ShadowBan/ in which you can create a test post to know if you are shadowbanned or not. They also have unofficial guide how to avoid being shadowbanned. It might be helpful for you.

Check it here https://nullprogram.com/am-i-shadowbanned/

Subreddits have different options, on some when you post you'll automatically get approved, on some not.
Mostly those big subs you need to be approved.
 
You can just open incognito, and open /u/<username>

If your user's profile not found then it is shadowbanned.

Shadowban in reddit means you can login but your user profile does not have any attributes
 
Then what is the difference between banned/deleted and shadowbanned ?

Same thing...

But yeah, you can also use for example Chrome and Mozilla to check your profile, username.

For example, log in via Chrome, copy/paste your profile to Mozilla and if it says that profile is banned, then that's it. Create a 2nd one.
 
The most foolproof way to check that you're shadowbanned on Reddit and not being filtered is by creating an original post, without adding any links to it, that carefully follows the rules of the subreddit. If it's immediately deleted, you're shadowbanned.
 
If you are shadowbanned, it is easy to fix. Just get to their support

Are you sure those are same thing,

But some of my users showing deleted or banned. And some are showing ok, but when i post on a sub they got deleted automatically. is there any other problem?

Good idea

As I told you before, it all depends from subreddit to subreddit.
Sometimes you gonna see your post, on old subreddit with free permission to posting even if you are banned, but the thing is, it's only you who see that, nobody else.

The easiest way is to check your username from Chrome to Mozilla or vice versa, literally 1 second of job.
 
Banned & shadowbanned are different things in reddit's eyes. I dont know why they make two different mechanism for banning users. Basically, the usual status is "banned/suspended", the one who trigger this is usually mod that ban you because you spam on his subreddit (happened to me on /r/jokes by automatically posting lol). Your account will be fine and you still can post on another subreddits, until you are banned for good by the admin.

While shadowbanned account treated differently. It is as if your account has never been created. Nobody can see your account except you. That's why, when you open incognito and see your account, shadowbanned account is like not found. While banned account is stated that the account is banned.
