How This Tool Works

We check your account status using official Reddit data points.

1

Profile Check

We simulate a logged out visit to your profile. If it returns a 404 error but works for you, you are shadowbanned.

2

Post Visibility

We analyze your last 10 posts. If they are removed instantly without notice, it is a strong sign of a ban.

3

Spam Filters

We check if your comments are invisible to other users in the threads you participate in.

Risk Factors

Why was I banned?

Reddit uses automated bots to catch spam. Sometimes they make mistakes. Common reasons include:

  • Posting too many links too fast
  • Using a VPN or shared IP address
  • New account posting rapidly
  • Low karma account behavior

Stop Guessing. Start Growing.

Manually posting is risky. One mistake and your account is gone. Our tool MediaFast schedules your posts at safe intervals to mimic human behavior.

Can I appeal a shadowban?

Yes. You can message the Reddit admins at reddit.com/appeals. Be honest and polite. Assuming you are not a bot, they often lift the ban within a few days.

How do I verify the result?

Open an incognito browser window and go to your profile URL (reddit.com/user/yourname). If it says "User not found" or "Suspended", you are definitely banned.

Is this tool safe to use?

100% safe. We only use public data available to any logged-out user. We do not ask for your password or access your account directly.

ACCOUNT SAFETY

If You Are Shadowbanned, Your Marketing Budget is $0. Here is How to Stay Safe.

A shadowban means every post, comment, and link you share is invisible. Weeks of work, gone. Most marketers do not even know it happened.

Silent and Invisible

Unlike a regular ban, Reddit never tells you about a shadowban. You keep posting and nobody sees it. You only find out when engagement drops to zero.

Recovery Takes Weeks

Even after a successful appeal, rebuilding trust with Reddit's spam filters takes time. Your posting frequency and engagement patterns must change completely.

Prevention is 100x Easier

Following safe posting patterns from day one is dramatically easier than recovering from a shadowban. One spammy post can trigger it.

How to Avoid Getting Shadowbanned

Never post the same link to multiple subreddits

Maintain a healthy comment-to-post ratio (10:1 minimum)

Avoid posting immediately after creating your account

Do not use VPNs or multiple accounts for the same purpose

Build genuine karma before any promotional activity

What to Do If You Are Shadowbanned

1

Confirm the ban

Use this detector tool. Check if your profile is visible when logged out. Test in an incognito window. If your posts get zero engagement for days, something is wrong.

2

Submit an appeal

Go to reddit.com/appeal. Be honest about what you did. Explain that it was unintentional if true. Response typically takes 3-7 days.

3

Start fresh with safe patterns

Whether you get unbanned or start a new account, use safe posting patterns from day one. MediaFast automates this so you never trigger spam filters again.

Stop worrying about bans. Let MediaFast handle account safety.

Built-in ban prevention so you can focus on growth, not compliance.

Shadowban Detector FAQ

Everything you need to know about Reddit account visibility.

A shadowban is a restriction where your posts and comments are automatically marked as spam by Reddit's filters. You can still see your own content, but it's invisible to everyone else on the platform.

Our tool checks your profile's publicly accessible data and simulates how Reddit's servers respond to requests for your user information. If the profile appears 'not found' while logged out, but exists for you, you're likely shadowbanned.

Common reasons include posting the same link too many times, using a VPN while posting, having a low karma-to-post ratio, or being mistaken for a bot by Reddit's automated spam filters.

The only official way to fix a shadowban is to submit an appeal to the Reddit admins via reddit.com/appeal. Be honest and explain if you think it was a mistake.
