Reddit Shadowban Detector

Check what a logged-out public profile source can see. The result separates a visible profile, an explicit suspension, and no public profile result without pretending those signals explain every ban.

Account check

Enter a Reddit username

u/

You can paste a plain username, u/username, or @username. We never ask for a Reddit password.

This is a point-in-time public-data check. It does not scan your Reddit inbox, private account state, or subreddit permissions.

Waiting for a username

The status report will show only what the current public profile check can support.

Read the signal correctly

One profile check cannot explain every Reddit restriction

Profile visible

A classic site-wide shadowban is less likely. Individual posts or subreddit actions can still be filtered.

No public profile

This is a warning signal, not a diagnosis. Check spelling and compare signed-in and private-window views.

Public suspension

This is an explicit account restriction signal. It is different from a silent shadowban.

FAQ

Common result questions

Does a missing public profile prove a shadowban?

No. It can match a classic shadowban signal, but it can also mean the username is wrong, the account was deleted or renamed, or public data is temporarily unavailable. Compare the result with what you see while signed in.

Can this detect a subreddit ban or removed post?

No. A subreddit ban, AutoModerator filter, Crowd Control decision, or one removed post can happen while the public account profile remains visible.

Do I need to sign in with Reddit?

No. The check uses public profile data and never asks for a Reddit password or access token.

What should I do when no public profile is returned?

Check the username, open the profile in a private browser window, and compare that with the signed-in view. If the account works only while signed in, use Reddit's official appeal page.
