Is there a feature for mods of an instance to shadowban users so that even if they post nobody will see it? I’m curious due to recent activity on some accounts, mainly the fact that they’ve received no replies (or points) to posts asking questions.

      I mainly post based on “Everything last 12 Hours” posts, which could be from any instance I suppose. Typically I’ll get one or two points on a comment, the past 4-5 days no replies and no points.

      If shadowbanning is/was a thing it would have soured my feelings on Lemmy, since I don’t feel I’ve done/said anything bannable.

    The upgrade to 0.19 broke federation with some instances like mine, which essentially makes it look like I’m shadowbanned on other instances. Check if your instance recently upgraded or if it has the same federation issues.

      That’s where I am, which is why I made this post. So far, though, I’m getting the points and replies from this thread.

      Not sure if AskLemmy is specific to lemme.ee or not and we’re all talking to each other.
