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.

I've had many comments (and I know a few others have too) quietly deleted for talking about the downsides of Linux, so mild censorship is definitely a thing depending on where you visit. But "shadow banning", if I'm not mistaken, is kinda nonexistent on a platform like this

Fun fact: modlogs aren't fully synced between instances.

Looking my name up on some instances shows different mod actions against me compared to others

If you know what instance you posted on you can check the modlogs there to see what's up
