I really have no idea why I was banned from those two communities specifically. I don’t think I’ve interacted with any of them (apart from reading/voting) for weeks. It’s not an instance ban.

If there is a better place to post this, please tell me.

EDIT:

I posted a link that was falsely flagged as malicious, have been unbanned! See comments for more details!

      Hi,
      You were indeed site banned from SJW about 7 hours ago, which has now been reverted.
      Sorry about that.
      We manually review the stuff the automod does, but sometimes it can take a bit until we get to it.

      And yes that domain was used by SEO spam bots. I’ll tweak it to be less harsh for this particular one.

      Peace ✌️

      PS: Lemmy currently issues community bans whenever a site ban happens, which is somewhat confusing and is often subject of discussion here because people think they were community banned.

      the domain on the link you shared was previously used by spam bots

        I see … well, that was totally random then. It was just the first kind of useful article I could find regarding that topic and I didn’t think anything else off it.

        Thanks for your help!
