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.

There is a link in the bottom of the sidebar for each community.

I agree, it can be frustrating, however I have also seen moderation mail before, and holy shit some people just get so fucking angry about mod actions and just want to harass the mod endlessly. It kind of makes sense to reduce users ability to do that in response.

Thanks.

Turns out in this specific occasion that it wasn't removed/hidden; so it must be a bug with Sync for Lemmy.

Some mod actions can be shockingly moronic, so I can also understand why some people get annoyed. I suppose some people must get next level angry to harass mods though.
