Defederation will result in an effective shadowban, just due to the way Lemmy is structured. If you yourself can't find one of your own, though, that indicates it was probably removed, which is different from a shadowban.
Standard forum-system here, each community sets its own rules and moderation strictness, so best to read the sidebar before you participate. Some communities are extremely strict, others are extremely loose. Applies to whole Instances too.
Would it show that the comment was deleted on the user side?
I use Sync for Lemmy and there is no indication that it was hidden/removed.
Try going into that specific community, and in the sidebar towards the bottom you'll find a button for "modlog". It should have all moderator actions in there, and they usually give a reason for why they did it. Though they don't actually have to or anything, it's just up to them.
Also maybe want to check the modlog for the entire Instance, on the Instance sidebar.
I'm not sure if the Sync app has things in different places in their specific UI, incidentally. But there should be sidebars with modlogs somewhere.
Thanks.
Turns out in this specific occasion that it wasn't removed/hidden; so it must be a bug with Sync for Lemmy.
