Troubleshooting Invisible Posts

Your Post Is “Live” for You but Invisible to Others: 7 Causes

If you can see your post but nobody else can, it’s usually an automated filter or a rule mismatch—not a mystery.

TL;DR: Wrong flair/format, banned links, title rules, templates, or new-account filters. Fix once, repost once.

7 Common Causes

  1. Wrong or missing flair
  2. Wrong post format (text/link/image restrictions)
  3. Title format rules (required tags/brackets)
  4. Missing a required template field
  5. Blocked/suspicious links (or URL shorteners)
  6. New/low-history account filters
  7. Copy/paste patterns across subreddits
