Hey all, I have an IG account that was completely dominating a hashtag and that let me gain ~200 followers per day (even though i wasnt even at 1k yet). Now a post got removed for violating community guidelines (didnt even tell me what post it was...) and it looks like im shadowbanned as my posts dont show up under the hashtags and i only gain around 20 followers per day. Any ideas on how to get rid of the ban or just create a new account and send everyone over there?
 
Just dont do anything for 4-5 days and it should be lifted. Also dont use more than 10 hashtags

Dont use more than 10 tags in general or just for now? Using as many tags as possible seems to be common practice right? (Theres also studies showing that its definitely worth it to use as many as possible)

Idk man, I guess it really depends on the account... I don't go over 10 anymore after I got a shadowban (was lifted in couple days) because it's a personal account and I just don't see myself risking it for couple more likes or whatever...
 
Never use 30 hashtags stick to 25-27.. dont do any activity for a few days and you should be fine
 
A shadowban is usually lifted after two weeks. Some people have said they laid low for a while, whilst others claim just to remain active.
Whatever you do ... try to let the account rest a little and don't go full force right after the shadowban is lifted or you'll be (shadow)banned again.
 
Alright thank you all! I'll use a few less hashtags and try posting again in a few days :)
 
Mate keep posting but without hashtags right now. After 2 weeks your ban will be lifted. Then you can use hashtags again if you want. You have to do a research. I have been shadowbanned many times.
 
alright ill do that, just tried with one hashtag and yea im still shadowbanned. Will continue without hashtags for now then
 
Update: Tomorrow would mark the 2 weeks being complete, but yesterday i already got 5x the impressions compared to the previous days without even posting, no clue how. Just tried using hashtags, but it didnt work yet, hopefully that'll be normal soon.

Any update OP?
 
Everything was fine after the 14 days :)
 
Thanks for updates! Very interesting and good stuff to know. Did you keep it at around 10 hashtags or did you do the 25-27?
you can freely use 30 hashtags, thats perfectly legitimate and allowed by IG
 
Posting stories helps to get out of shadowban
Usually it’s not too long before account gets back to normal
