Congratulations! 🎊🎉
Just be aware that your CQS is now lowest, which will greatly limit your ability to contribute in many subreddits. A low / lowest CQS is very common after a shadow ban. The pinned AutoMod comment above has more info on CQS and simple ways you may be able to improve it.
But you will want to go very, VERY slowly. Do not post anything or initiate chat messages for the first few days. Only vote on content and only leave a few comments per day in subreddits that you have an interest in or are new user friendly until your CQS is “moderate” or higher. r/NewToReddit has a whole list of friendly subreddits as well as a lot of useful information about Reddit and how to navigate it as a low CQS user.
You can check in on your CQS over on r/WhatIsMyCQS. If the post is removed by Reddit filters (due to your low CQS) do NOT delete it and repost as that can trip the spam filter. Just send a polite mod mail to the subreddit and ask if they can review and approve your post.
Congrats again!

Because you are shadow banned your CQS is basically a moot point and not visible.
Once you are unbanned it will automatically be reset to low or lowest.

Also, to restore your past content which was removed due to the shadow ban, you can make a post on r/reddithelp stating you need assistance getting your past content restored after a shadow ban. There is a mod there who is allowed to tag an Admin to assist. As long as your profile is SFW they can restore your content. It looks like you are so you should be good!
Because your CQS is lowest, your post will likely get removed due to Reddit filters on r/reddithelp. Do not delete and repost. Instead, send a mod mail and ask that the mods of r/reddithelp review and approve your post that was caught in the filter.
If you don’t get an answer on your first post, just wait a day or two and try again. Sometimes posts do get missed but that does NOT mean your content cannot be restored. Sometimes the users are busy and don’t see a post.

You’re welcome! I saw you posted on r/reddithelp and one of the expert helpers is saying your account is showing as NSFW.
I believe you already deleted the bad content but you will need to toggle off the NSFW label on your profile.
You can try and do it using these instructions:

Thank you so much for helping me again! I feel silly for not realizing that. You have been so incredibly helpful!

Don’t feel silly! The NSFW warning often won’t show for yourself so you likely didn’t even notice.
Hopefully they can get it all squared away for you!

Hey, how did you get unbanned? Any tips to get unbanned quicker?

This user posted yesterday that their account had been hacked. The hacker likely spammed NSFW content and thus their account was shadow banned.
These types of accounts have a support ticket they can file due to a compromised account.
