Anti-Shadowban Guide
TikTok Shadowban Guidelines for Care Streamers Pt. 1
Warm Your Account: Establish yourself as a regular user on the application before you try to begin fundraising or community-building.
Who you follow and interact with will determine who TikTok shows your profile to
Using too many hashtags will too finely curate your content for their algorithm, significantly halting the potential traffic you could be getting to your page and posts
10-20 Posts Rule: Avoid any form of advertisement, promotion, sharing in the first 15-20 posts you make. If TikTok detects that you might be trying to sell anything with your account, they'll significantly bottleneck your page traffic.
Flaggable Activity:
Spam: Avoid following/liking/sharing posts in bulk, TikTok will make it so you are unable more accounts for 1-14 days if you spam-follow or like posts.
Deleting Videos: TikTok is not a fan of new accounts deleting videos, if you need to remove a video due to an error in the post, you can change the privacy
Link Sharing: Sharing links in posts, LIVE feeds, or comments is not permitted, doing so repeatedly can make TikTok suspicious of the legitimacy of your account.
L33TSP34K: Using letters and special characters throughout your words is a suspicious activity which TikTok detects as trying to bypass profanity and safety filters in comments/LIVE chats. Example: 3x4mp13
Inclusion vs Over-inclusion (Shadow Ban Paranoia Avoidance)
Don't be too focused on whether or not you might be shadow banned. Take a short break from the app if you:
- Can't follow any accounts, like any posts
- Your videos aren't getting any engagement (<100-200 views)
- Avoid checking or posting about getting shadowbanned on Reddit.
