| Finding that your posts to Reddit get no responses? You've probably been 'shadow-banned'. |
then welcome to the club! It means that you have been 'shadow banned' as they call it. Read more about it here and here.
They won't actually tell you about it. It seems to be working as normal to you. You just waste all your time contributing to a supposed 'community' administered by a bunch of tyranical non-democratic spoil-sports and all your efforts are invisible.
It seems easy to get banned, even if you post items from a wide range of sites, and even if the rules of Reddit are deliberately unclear
Tell your friends about it!
Reddit is not all it claims.

Thanks for the hint - I have just checked mine and find I am also blocked. This is my second ID as the first was blocked very quickly.
When I get a moment I will remove the reddit link from my blog as I don't want to promote such as discriminatory service!
I'm in the club.

We really need some alternatives to reddit. I know they are out there but they need to be promoted.
If you leave a comment that is critical of Israel or pro Palestinian Reddit (s/b called Eddit)
This has happened repeatedly. The comments never violated any rules of Eddit but where not pro Israeli.
Guess I'm now banned. Posted some very old photos in "TheWayWeWere", which seemed the perfect place for them. A lot of positive feedback & enjoyable conversation. However, two Redditors apparently did not like the photos - and went on a vulgar laced tirade everytime I posted. I was the one banned - go figure.
