Is there such a thing as shadow banning submissions, comments, or users on Lemmy?

I’m having trouble seeing a couple of comments that I know were there at some points, one of them is my own and I haven’t deleted it. So it got me wondering, is shadow banning a thing here.

    Would it show that the comment was deleted on the user side?

    I use Sync for Lemmy and there is no indication that it was hidden/removed.

      Try going into that specific community, and in the sidebar towards the bottom you’ll find a button for “modlog”. It should have all moderator actions in there, and they usually give a reason for why they did it. Though they don’t actually have to or anything, it’s just up to them.

      Also maybe want to check the modlog for the entire Instance, on the Instance sidebar.

      I’m not sure if the Sync app has things in different places in their specific UI, incidentally. But there should be sidebars with modlogs somewhere.

        Thanks.

        Turns out in this specific occasion that it wasn’t removed/hidden; so it must be a bug with Sync for Lemmy.
