There’s less of the funky shadow banning that Reddit does here, where your posts are rendered invisible to anyone but yourself without you knowing. I don’t think that can happen at all.

I'm pretty sure it can happen sometimes. If you try to post to a community you're banned in, you might still be able to hit "send", it will show up in your profile, and yet it won't be seen by anyone in that community. I've never bothered to figure out why this happens (and only sometimes), maybe there's also something funky going on with defederation between instances.

That makes sense , if we get banned their message? Is there like warning?

[–] balsoft@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 days ago

If you get banned in a community, you will get a big red Banned in this Community flair next to your comments, and you shouldn't be able to post anything there (depends on the app you're using, I guess). There's also the modlog.

At the bottom of each instance is their modlog. Here's Lemmy.zip's for example. You can search your username

You're welcome. It's one of the best features of Lemmy (and broader threadiverse). There's alternatives to Lemmy like piefed and mbin but they share communities with Lemmy. Some piefed users even commented here.
