Reddit shadowban checker

Check if a Reddit username is shadowbanned or invisible. We use Reddit’s public API - no login required.

How it works

Three steps to your result.

  1. Enter username

    Type the Reddit username you want to check. No login or API key required.

  2. Run the check

    We use Reddit’s public API to see if the account exists and whether it appears shadowbanned or restricted.

  3. Read the result

    Get a clear status: visible, shadowbanned, or unknown. Use it as a hint; Reddit doesn’t officially confirm shadowbans.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about this tool.

What is a shadowban?
Reddit can hide your posts and comments from others without telling you. Your account looks normal to you but not to everyone else.
Is this 100% accurate?
No. We use Reddit’s public API. Reddit doesn’t confirm shadowbans, so we can only show whether the account appears visible or restricted.
Do you store the username?
We don’t store or log usernames. The check is run on demand.
Why does it say “Too many requests”?
We rate-limit to keep the tool free. Wait a minute and try again.

Why shadowbans kill founder outreach

You can post for weeks without knowing Reddit silently hides your comments. Founders doing community-led growth should check accounts before investing in a subreddit strategy.

If you are shadowbanned

Do not spin up ban-evasion accounts. Message mods politely, review subreddit rules, and rebuild karma in good faith. See our shadowban outreach guide for the full recovery path.
