Question: Can all accounts recover from a shadowban?
Answer: Unfortunately, no. Some accounts that have significantly violated community guidelines or accumulated too many fake followers may find it extremely difficult to escape a shadowban.
Question: How can I tell if I've overcome a shadowban?
Answer: To determine if you've overcome a shadowban, there are a few key indicators to check:
Your account is searchable: Verify if your account can be found in the search by friends who don't follow you. If it appears in the top results, that's a good sign.
Reaching more non-followers: If your content is being recommended to non-followers, you're on the right track. Having more non-followers engage with your content than followers is a positive indicator.
Visibility in hashtag feeds: If your posts are visible in hashtag searches, it suggests that you're moving in the right direction.
