What a shadowban on X actually is, the visibility limits X does apply (search, replies, reach), how to check for them, common causes, and how to get back to normal.

In short: There's no reliable trick to browse X fully without an account; the legitimate options are direct links and embeds, search engines, official newsletters or RSS from the accounts you follow, or a free account set up for reading only.
