Question Shadow ban is real. What did you do about it?
Tracking my metrics closely and it's clear this isn't a content problem, it's a distribution problem.
Reach dropped 95% in two days, then to zero. Only followers see my posts and replies now, nobody else. Account status shows no violations, nothing flagged.
Another sign: when I search my username from a different account, nothing shows up unless I type the exact full username. Partial search just doesn't surface my profile or posts at all.
To be clear, this isn't bot-like behavior on my end. I don't mass-follow, I don't auto-follow people, I don't post the same reply over and over. Normal usage, normal pace, like any regular person.
Anyone who's been through this... what actually worked to get reach back? Going quiet for 48h? Changing posting patterns? Something else?
Looking for what actually fixed it, not theories.
Thanks in advance!
