My page doesnt show up in hashtags

[TomV]

Hey bhw,
my ig page doesn't show up in hashtags and in the explore page... I tried to stop using hashtags for a long time, my account was for 1 month inactive now and it still doesn't show up.

Is there a way to get around this? Or is my page just fucked up forever.

Btw. I have 30k followers in a meme niche

Are you using highly populated hashtags? How many are you using in one post?

The hashtags itself are not the problem, I use small and medium sized hashatgs in my country and always it worked really well I have 10+% engagement rate. I don't use broken or banned hashtags. I think that I have a shadow ban or something.. I have no idea it never happened to me.
No hashtag views no explore page only follower engagement.

I am having the same issue for about a month now. I do show up in hashtags but have 0 reach from it. (35k, art niche)
I am experimenting with different hashtag sets and sizes with no effect so far :S.

With the same hashtags (a group of over 300) I ranked in top9 regularly and now all of a sudden its down to 0.

You can log in to another account and try to find your posts by hashtags and if you can't find them so it's seems like you're probably shadowbanned.. btw do you have any other problems/action blocks like being unable to like posts or write comments?

Do you have multiple accounts and have the other accounts been shadowbanned as well? Shadowbans can last anywhere from a few days to a few months, or be permanent. There's no way to know for sure, but if you are doing anything on the same IP address (Or browser fingerprint) that could lead to further bans, make sure to stop if you want any hope of the account being usable in the future.

Because of the US election, they disabled the hashtag recent tab -> people can't see your post -> less like -> no explored or top posts. Well, this sucks, all we can do is to wait until Jan 20th I guess.

That's a good hint but as far as I know thats only in the US? It would explain a significant decrease depending on your followers origins but does not account for your reach to become zero/not visible at all?

What is "small and average" size hashtags for you ? Also, what's your average hashtags reach (for example, for the 10 last posts ? --> Insights)
