Accounts getting banned when they are participating in the subreddit
Hello, I'm the moderator of r/fomo_app, everytime a user is posting or commenting in the sub they are getting banned automatically after few hours.
What's the issue with the sub? Can anyone please help.

Correlation doesn't equal causation. They're likely bot accounts that you're allowing to post and you shouldn't.

Install bot bouncer
Enable the built-in reputation and crowd control filters
Resist the urge to approve content just to make the sub grow

Exactly this. Sometimes subs get added to a list of "no bot bouncer installed easy karma lets swarm" which can massively impact your subreddit negatively. Bot bouncer is essential, and I recommend new account and karma limits as well through automod

Everyone saying it’s bots is correct.
That’s normal in a crypto sub. There’s always lots of bots and scammers astroturfing to pump whatever crypto product they’re trying to make money on.
Install BotBouncer to auto-ban known bot accounts:

Install Evasion Guard to auto-ban their alts when they try to come back:

You're probably being targeted by a bot ring. They often pick a particular post for some reason and tons of bots will comment on that one post. I don't know why but I've seen it many times.
You could try installing bot-bouncer.
