I recently bought an account on babes niche and i'm trying to slowly transform into female photography.
but my engagement dropped by half after I started using relevant hashtags.
So far I have done..
1. I archived all the posts that were selfies or low quality reposts. ( only keeping high quality reposts that seem like my style of photography until I fill up with my pictures)
2.I changed the avatar to one of my models and changed the bio.
3.I unfollowed a few people so my feed isn't only Arabic people.
4. Followed a few people on my niche.
5.I started using hashtags on my niche. but here is the catch, I just checked and i'm not appearing on them on recent. I checked with other account and it isn't there, I checked a shadowban checker and it says is there and im not shadow banned.
it seems that it only affects my account when I use any sort of hashtag. yesterday I posted without hashtags and it did fine (1.7k likes in 24h)
