How to See Removed Reddit Posts and Comments

Have you ever come across a Reddit thread with hundreds of upvotes and replies, only to find that the original post or top comments were removed? It’s frustrating and makes you wonder what was actually said.

Here’s how to reveal deleted Reddit content in seconds, using tools that actually work.

The fastest way to see removed Reddit content is by using Reveddit.com.

Here’s how:

1. Copy the URL of the Reddit post or comment you want to inspect
2. Paste it into the search bar on reveddit.com
3. Hit Enter and wait a few seconds

If any content has been deleted by moderators, the Reddit spam filter, or the original poster, you’ll see it show up on Reveddit.

Tip: Instead of copy-pasting the link, just replace reddit.com in the URL with reveddit.com.

Example: Change https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/xxx/ to https://www.reveddit.com/v/gaming/comments/xxx/

View All Removed Posts in a Subreddit or by a User

Reveddit also lets you dig deeper, not just into one thread, but an entire subreddit or user profile.

Here’s how:

• To see all removed posts in a subreddit, enter r/subredditname into the Reveddit homepage.
• To see all removed posts by a specific user, enter u/username.

Press Enter, and Reveddit will display a feed of all removed submissions and comments related to that subreddit or user.

This is useful if:

• You’re trying to understand why a subreddit removes certain types of posts
• You’re analyzing moderation behavior
• You’re checking if your own content was silently removed (which happens more often than you’d think)

Sometimes, Reddit does not notify you when your post is removed, and the content can disappear without any warning. This tool helps you confirm what happened and why.

Why Your Reddit Post Might Not Show Up

Sometimes, your Reddit post doesn’t appear—no removal notice, no alerts. It just… vanishes. Here’s why that might be happening:

You Broke a Subreddit Rule

Every subreddit has its own rules, sometimes very specific ones. Common violations include:

• No self-promotion
• Mandatory flair usage
• Title formatting requirements

Always check the sidebar or About tab for rules before posting. If your post breaks one, a mod or bot may remove it instantly.

You’re Not Sorting by New

Most subreddits default to the “Hot” sort, which highlights posts that already have strong engagement. If your post is brand new, it may not be visible there yet.

Go to the subreddit and switch the sort order to New to find your post.

You Don’t Have Enough Karma

Reddit uses karma or CQS to fight spam. Many subreddits limit posting privileges if your account is too new or doesn’t have enough karma.

Comment on popular threads, contribute to discussions, and avoid posting too much too fast.

Your Post Triggered the Spam Filter

Even legit posts can get caught in Reddit’s automated spam filter. This especially happens with:

• Posts containing links
• New accounts posting quickly
• Repetitive or off-topic content

Gain karma slowly and build trust. If you think your post was unfairly removed, you can contact the subreddit moderators using Modmail.

You Used a Banned Domain

Some domains (especially link shorteners or affiliate platforms) are banned sitewide or by specific subs. Use direct, trustworthy links. Avoid URL shorteners unless explicitly allowed.

You Posted Too Fast

Posting multiple times in a short time span can trigger Reddit’s anti-spam limits—even if your content is legit. Slow down. Post like a human, not a bot.

You Were Shadowbanned (or Suspended)

If your account is shadowbanned or under suspension, your posts won’t appear to others, even if they appear to you.

Try checking your post from an incognito browser. If it doesn’t show, your account might be restricted.

You can also check shadowban here as well using our tool.

Your Flair Was Missing

Flair is often necessary in subs that categorize posts by topic. If you omit it or use the incorrect one, your post may be removed by the automoderator. Always select the correct flair before submitting, or edit it immediately afterward.
