Is my account Shadow banned in a specific sub or overall across reddit?

Happy Halloween all,

I am new to reddit and commented on r/microsoft which appears to be good in my end. It really had no response. It was sus. So, I looked the post from another computer without logging in. All comments where there except mine.

When I looked further I found out reddit could shadow ban when the spam or bot filters get triggered. I am now trying to understand is it something with microsoft sub alone or across all over reddit for me?

There was some reddit ban appeal form but it clear says I am not banned. I first of all don't even understand what is happening and secondly I am looking for a solution. Any suggestions please?

asking for help; my buddies

Growing up, I was always insecure. But it wasn’t this worse then. How can I not envy my friends’s success just because I’m insecure? Send help please, I feel terrible.

Can anyone see a locked comment?

I'm not actually new to reddit, but I rarely post. Nowadays, I see a subreddit that I really want to participate in, but my comments are locked there because my post karma is less than the requirements. Anyway, I really want to know can anyone read a locked comment?

Hi! How do I fix the comments issue of them not showing up?

I’m new to reddit and every post I make doesn’t show up for anyone else… whats up with that? Even the ones without karma necessary they still don’t show on other accounts. Even my username does not.

Getting karma as an old user

So I’m a classic lurker, I go around, like good posts, look for questions that are similar to what I have, laugh at and upvote the good ones. It’s been a year and I have finally mustered up the courage to ask a question but my lack of karma is getting to me now 😖 help me out! Please tell me an easy and fast way of earning karma.

Ways to get karma as a shy person

As mentioned in the title, I’m a very shy person and get nervous on commenting. The only reason I’m doing this one cause genuinely curious. How would I go around getting karma? Would I just need to build up the courage to go talk to some people by creating posts?? I’ve been commenting on some posts but I know it’s not going to be seen so it helps out knowing that.

What is the actual purpose of awards?

I've had this account for years but haven't started using it until recently. I originally thought Karma and awards are like "cool points" but I recently learned karama has some purpose. But what about awards? Do they actually do anything? Is there a limit when giving them out? Does receiving them kind of work like karama does?

I feel a little lame because Reddit is pretty straightforward but I've never really gotten into until lately and I keep worrying I'm missing out on some etiquite things here lol. Any other basic unspoken "rules" to be aware of would be helpful too!

Not able to post pictures

Some subs message entry box have an icon near the bottom that I assume allows one to post a picture. When I click on it nothing happens. What are the general rules regarding posting pics?

is there genuinely any other way to get karma?

is there a reason some subreddits requite a certain amount of karma? i’m looking for advice on a hometown sub and i need at-least ten comments. unfortunate as this is a new account because my other account has my full name.
