Does Lemmy allow posting through Tor? I know signup varies by instance, does the same variability apply to posting after signup, or is it more uniformly permissive/hostile once account exists?

Depends entirely on the instance, Lemmy is just a piece of software.

I meant to ask if it is like reddit, which shadow bans immediately?

Lemmy doesn't have shadow bans. The other instances also don't know what IP you posted from. Only your own instance can see that.
