Is shadow banning submissions/comments/users a thing on Lemmy? (lemm.ee)

Is there such a thing as shadow banning submissions, comments, or users on Lemmy?

I'm having trouble seeing a couple of comments that I know were there at some points, one of them is my own and I haven't deleted it. So it got me wondering, is shadow banning a thing here.

I've encountered a few times where the post or a parent comment got deleted, which also appears to hide any sub-comments.

Might that be it?

I use Sync for Lemmy. When I click my own comment or the reply from the other person it takes me to the comments section where it only shows the parent comment. Hmmm... Maybe it's a bug in Sync for Lemmy

Haven't seen that behavior myself yet, but yes, that does sound like either a bug or shadowbanning.

Excuse me for not being able to help.
