Reddit Shadowban Detector
Check if your Reddit account has been shadowbanned or restricted without knowing it.
What is a Reddit Shadowban?
Invisible Removal
Your posts and comments appear normal to you, but they are invisible to everyone else on the platform.
Spam Protection
Reddit uses shadowbans to stop spam bots from knowing they've been caught, so they don't just create new accounts.
False Positives
Sometimes legitimate users get caught in the spam net, especially if they post links too quickly on new accounts.

How can I avoid getting shadowbanned?
