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.

      That’s definitely the case then as most major instances pushed updates around then. Lemmy.World has been particularly bad since it’s still running on the old 0.18.x version of Lemmy.

      The bugs have been opened and the devs made aware of the issues. For now just be patient as things get worked on as it is the holiday season.
