Shadow banned on tinder (lemm.ee)

I made an account and was met with continuous swiping with what felt like no limit, when closing and opening tinder I am met with accounts that have already been swiped.

Reading online says ive been shadow banned, maybe due to VPN.

When I go to settings and down to account deletion the app returns an error disallowing me to delete.

Anyone else dealt with this?

I use a VPN and no issue on tinder.

Try fully closing the app and reopening it.

If they did ban you, you would 100% be banned, not able to view profiles.

A shadow ban is abit different. Ive closed opened, reinstalled, logged in through browser and app, both with and with out VPN.

you can test, when your with a friend, have them narrow their search to 1km, search for your age exactly, and see if they can find you, match with you, and send a message.
