Problem with Instabot.py- it show following but it doesnt follow

[silgro]

Hello,

I installed instabot.py with this tutorial:

I set only following and everything is working fine, it is showing that bot is following people but it actually doesnt. Also it is showing that Im following the same id over and over.

Can someone help me with this problem?

Thank you in advance

In my experience you need to choose very popular hashtags that contain over 50,000 posts, preferably more than 100,000.
If your hashtags are smaller than this, there is more chance that the bot will be scraping the same images over and over again, because no new images have been posted.
I'm not sure how precise this explanation is (probably not!), but like I said, it seems to cause fewer problems if you choose hashtags with larger numbers behind them.
