Thank you for the clarification! I don’t see any of my submitted but invisible posts marked as [dead]. Is this something visible to me? I’ve already read the g

  > Is this something visible to me? Yes, I think so. In your profile settings, there should be a "show dead" option. Select "yes" then update the settings. I know it will show other's dead posts, but I dont know if it shows a user their own dead posts. (Luckily, I haven't had a dead post yet, so I can't verify.) After updating, if you look at the "new" tab, you'll see dead and/or flagged posts. It doesn't say why, but it will show [dead] and [flagged]. If your post was flagged, it's most likely by users. Dead means killed by admins/mods, sometimes due to flags. Side note: With "show dead" on, you'll see the dead flag, but will still be able to click the submitted link. I think that's for transparency so we can see what the admins block. There's also a vouch button for dead posts. But don't use that unless you are really sure about the author and/or content of the post. I don't think you can vouch for your own posts, either. Good luck! I hope everything works out.

    Interestingly, in "my" flagged posts (https://news.ycombinator.com/flagged?id=mstaoru https://news.ycombinator.com/flagged?id=mstaoru) I see one post (from 2017) by another user which has no upvotes.
