Does Lemmy have shadow banning?

Alpha71@lemmy.world to Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world – 81 points –

I haven't been able to post anything for the last two days. I don't know if I was banned for a bit or not since I received no notice or warning.

If it wasn't a ban what happened?

How were you "not able to post anything"? If you noticed you weren't able to post anything (e.g. got an error message), that was (by definition) probably not shadow banning.

I wasn't getting anything. I would press the post button and it would just endlessly loop and never post.

That isn't shadow banning, it sounds more like a server (performance?) issue on your instance.

Any error code in the web developer console?

That's happened any time I've tried posting from a desktop browser. Works fine from Connect on android.
