Am I shadowbanned?

Around 14 Aug my posts stopped appearing in subreddit new feeds. They're still live at their permalinks, none are marked removed, and they still pick up the odd vote, but they aren't in new, hot or top for the subs I posted them in.

It's not one subreddit and it's not one link. A video post of mine in a sub I've been in for a while is missing from that sub's new feed too, and it has 180 points.

Trying to work out whether it's the account before I bother anyone's mod team about it.

They called Le Fanu the Invisible Prince. He wrote most of Carmilla in bed at 2am. Free full text.

A couple of threads here have asked for books like Carmilla, so in case it's useful, the text is public domain and free.

Le Fanu's wife Susanna died in 1858 and he more or less stopped leaving the house. He wrote at night, in bed, on scraps of paper, usually starting around 2am by candlelight. Dublin started calling him the Invisible Prince because he was so rarely seen. Carmilla came out of that stretch, in 1872, twenty five years before Dracula. Stoker's discarded opening chapter is set in Styria, same as Carmilla.

It's about 100 pages, so it's a one evening book.
