So in case your main blog is fine but your side blog is shadowbanned, you might have a different experience.)
(These are the things that I personally went through. How to tell if your blog has been shadowbanned? And most of the things that happen during this state. I’m not sure, but it might also happen if someone has reported your blog.īut more often than not, it’s just a tumblr glitch.
( Look at the wikipedia definition here.) Why does this happen?įrom what I understand, blogs get shadowbanned since they are suspected of being bots, or just sketchy, or they might be going against Tumblr’s guidelines. Tumblr lets you believe that everything is fine and that you can interact with others, but actually you can’t. What does shadowban exactly mean?īasically, your blog exists and mostly functions as it normally would, but Tumblr has made it invisible to everyone else. So hope this helps everyone who has to unnecessarily go through this. Now that I’m aware of it, I realize it’s becoming increasingly common for legit blogs like mine to get shadowbanned for no reason at all. Since then, surprisingly quite a few number of people have texted me about them getting shadowbanned as well. I had no idea about Tumblr’s shadowban until it happened to me.
