Is there a way to check if I've been banned from a community on Lemmy?

I keep trying to post to a news community and my ass keeps getting an error, was wondering what was up with that.

Figured out it was just a random error, on a funnier note for whatever reason the dead tldr bot was banned from world news lol

I’d say probably good riddance, I read some of what it posted, and it seemed to get a lot of things wrong. At one point, I believe I read it say that the Titan people had been found alive. 🤦‍♂️ It’s probably better to have it banned rather than out there misleading people.

Maybe your instance was defederated by the instance of the community you are trying to post to? From what I understand, you can check in the Instances link of this server if your instance is listed. I don’t know if that is still true, but I think Beehaw (temporarily?) defederated lemmy.world for example, because it was growing so fast that they couldn’t keep up with the moderation.
