Cable.Ayra.ch Review for OFM (2026): Reddit Shadowban Checker

cable.ayra.ch/reddit is a free shadowban checker for Reddit accounts, near-universal tool in OFM Reddit operations. Enter username, get shadowban status. This review covers how it's used and its limits.

1. What it does

• Enter Reddit username.
• Tool queries Reddit's public data.
• Returns: shadowbanned / clean / uncertain.
• Free, no signup.

Fastest way to confirm a shadowban.

2. Community use

From the community:

"https://cable.ayra.ch/reddit/ to check if ur shadowbanned on reddit"

"cable.ayra.ch/reddit is the shadow ban tester"

"https://cable.ayra.ch/reddit/ this is the best tool to check for shadowbans"

"you can use shadowban checker to be sure https://cable.ayra.ch/reddit / or post in r/shadowban they will tell you"

Standard workflow:

1. Account behavior seems off (no post engagement).
2. Run through ayra.ch.
3. Confirm shadowban status.
4. Decide: appeal, warm, or abandon.

3. What it checks

Technical approach: tool attempts to fetch account's recent posts from a logged-out perspective. If invisible, shadowbanned.

Same approach as r/shadowban subreddit bot.

4. Limits

"even cable.ayra.ch say account is fine"

Context: operator account was getting no engagement, ayra.ch says "fine", something else is wrong.

Not caught by ayra.ch:

• Subreddit-specific bans, banned in r/X but not globally.
• Post-level removals, posts removed by mods, not site-wide.
• Rate limiting, temporary shadow state not permanent.
• Reach suppression, not shadowbanned but downranked.
• New-account filtering, posts auto-held for mod review.

ayra.ch catches site-wide shadowban, one specific state. Other visibility problems need different diagnosis.

5. Alternative / complement

"Is it better to make a post and see if it shows up in new on a separate Reddit account or is checking on http://cable.ayra.ch/reddit enough to see if account is shadowbanned"

Cross-check method: post from target account, view "/new" in subreddit from a separate account. If post missing, confirmed visibility problem.

Combination:

1. ayra.ch check (quick).
2. Second-account /new check (confirmation).
3. r/shadowban submission (human confirmation).

6. When to check

• New account not getting any engagement.
• Suddenly zero upvotes on posts that used to work.
• Comments disappearing from threads.
• Suspected ban after DMCA / report.

7. Honest 2026 stance

Free, fast, accurate for what it does. Near-universal community use, the default first-check for "is this account shadowbanned?" The limit is that "shadowban" is only one visibility problem among many, a clean ayra.ch doesn't mean your account is actually getting reach.

Bottom line

Bookmark it. Use it constantly. Understand it only diagnoses one state. For full account health, also check post visibility from logged-out view and watch native analytics if you have them.
