We check your account status using official Reddit data points.
We simulate a logged out visit to your profile. If it returns a 404 error but works for you, you are shadowbanned.
We analyze your last 10 posts. If they are removed instantly without notice, it is a strong sign of a ban.
We check if your comments are invisible to other users in the threads you participate in.
Reddit uses automated bots to catch spam. Sometimes they make mistakes. Common reasons include:
Manually posting is risky. One mistake and your account is gone. Our tool MediaFast schedules your posts at safe intervals to mimic human behavior.

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.
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.
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.
MediaFast is a marketing tool that helps you schedule Reddit posts safely. It helps you grow your business without triggering Reddit's spam filters.
A shadowban means every post, comment, and link you share is invisible. Weeks of work, gone. Most marketers do not even know it happened.
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.
Even after a successful appeal, rebuilding trust with Reddit's spam filters takes time. Your posting frequency and engagement patterns must change completely.
Following safe posting patterns from day one is dramatically easier than recovering from a shadowban. One spammy post can trigger it.
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
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.
Go to reddit.com/appeal. Be honest about what you did. Explain that it was unintentional if true. Response typically takes 3-7 days.
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.
Built-in ban prevention so you can focus on growth, not compliance.
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.
The fastest way to check if a Reddit account is shadowbanned in 2026 is to paste the username into a shadowban test tool like this one. The detector queries the public Reddit endpoint without authentication, mirroring what every other user sees. If the profile returns as 'not found' while you can still see it logged in, the account is shadowbanned. The test is instant and free.
This tool uses the same detection method as the most reliable shadowban checkers: a logged-out request to the Reddit public profile endpoint. Many older shadowban testers stopped working when Reddit changed its API in 2024 to 2025. The MediaFast shadowban detector is updated for the current Reddit API behavior and runs in real time, with no signup, no API key, and no rate limits for normal use.
Shadowban detector, shadowban tester, shadowban check, and shadowban test tool all refer to the same kind of utility: a service that queries Reddit’s public-facing data to determine whether a username’s posts and comments are silently hidden. This tool covers all those use cases in one place.
Anecdotally, success rates for shadowban appeals through reddit.com/appeal sit around 30 to 50 percent for accounts with no prior strikes, dropping significantly for accounts with prior warnings, vote manipulation history, or ban evasion flags. Appeals that include a clear, honest explanation, no defensiveness, and a specific intent to follow Reddit’s rules going forward succeed more often than templated appeals.
Most third-party Reddit shadowban detection tools use the same underlying technique (public endpoint query). The differentiators are speed, reliability after Reddit API changes, and whether the tool also explains why a shadowban likely happened and what to do next. MediaFast’s detector pairs the test with a step-by-step recovery checklist tailored to the most common shadowban causes.
