So, i have 3 different accounts on my phone. All of them are with different emails, phone numbers follower counts and the account age. I'm trying to grow one of them, been posting 1-2 reels a day for the last 2-3 weeks but they are not getting into explore page and mainly shown only to my followers. I thought the problem was in the account, but i decided to upload different videos at the same time to other account as well (no caption, no hashtags and etc), just to see if it will be pushed to explore page and 6 hours after, i got 2 views on one account, 1 view on another one.

I have absolutely no clue on why does it happen and what's going on. If anyone had similar problems and found the solution, would be greatly appreciated

same ip address on 3 accounts from same phone, that might trigger the bot, use at least a browser like gologin, hidemyacc, adspower they have also the mobile option where you can try it, and use proxies i think u will have better results if u use the rotating proxies

Good luck.

thanks for those tips, but if it was ip address wouldn't that mean that insta should shadowban anyone posting something in a coffee shop or a mall? Or maybe those SMM managers that have different accounts on their phones? I very rarely use the other two, just tried them to see if there is any difference.

it depends on the ip, we have datacenter and residential, datacenter ip come from data centers, residential proxies are ip's provided by real isp's.

Same IP Address for 3 accounts is not even the issue here.

To OP :

1.What is your niche?
2.How many followers you already have?
3.What type of reels you post, self-created or repost?

it is strange 0 views though that's why i concluded on that, i might be wrong anyways thanks for correcting me
 
I think it's not because of the IP but because of your content, make friends and watch other people's videos with the same topic as you, interact to get views

Thank y'all for answers, but i guess i've finally figured out my problem. So, if anyone encounter that kind of issue, here is the solution:
My first problem was that i was reposting videos to reels without cleaning metadata, changing hash D5 and slightly altering the video (some filters, maybe edits and etc.). So, most of them were identified as "unoriginal" and i guess it hurt my acc a little bit, because i get external views, but i am not sure if they are coming from my hashtags or explore page.
As manual growth asked, followers matter too. Insta pushes your content to your followers first to see how it does and then they push to explore page (at least for now, i heard they are planning to change to tiktok like algorithm, pushing your newly created content to explore page first), so it takes time to pick up (as an exmaple in tiktok you instantly get few hundreds views within the first few hours, insta now takes more than 12+ hours to start pushing your content). Last video i've uploaded i did all the steps i've explained above and got 30% folllowers and 70% non followers ratio (again, not sure if it was because of the hashtags) and i am still trying to figure out, what was the main component (metadata, hash D5 or altering), so if anyone knows what works the best, i would be happy to hear an answer.
Overall yes, IP doesn't matter in this case at all, but using proxies and anti-detect browsers will help in managing all the accounts from one place too. + once you are under a radar (for violating guidelines or smth) it takes time to get you our of that radar and your views might drop (that happened with me on Tiktok, one of the accs getting 1k+ views with 0 followers and another one getting only 55 views with 500 followers).

i'll probably create a python automation or something like that to edit videos in bulk in the near future, but because it is a testing phase right now and i'm mostly focused on finding the best working method to scale it later, I'm using some online platforms that do it for me. You just upload video/photo and then download new video without metadata/new D5.

so basically you just clean the metadata, and it hopefully will give better results !?

nope, i cleaned the metadata, changed D5 and adjusted/altered a video through capcut. Then i've uploaded that video on Tiktok and didn't receive any "not eligible" warnings, reuploaded into instagram and got 30/70 reach. So it works pretty well.

Hi, guys. I am following your discussion with interest, and would like to share my experience with Instagram regarding reposting others' content. Basically, even though I create an account from scratch, using %G's IP, regardless if I perform a remix of a reel, as well as downloading and reposting the same content, the footage does not get views or comments. Basically, Instagram does not allow me to reach users outside of my followers, which is a big limitation for me. I have tried a variety of solutions, including using software to make videos unique before posting them on Instagram, but these solutions have had no effect. Moreover, as I mentioned earlier, I have also tried making use of the platform's "Remix" feature, adding a sticker or text to my video in anticipation of publishing it. Nevertheless, the result does not change: my content gets very few views. I notice that other creators, while taking advantage of the features already mentioned, do not experience any problems, and I cannot explain why I am experiencing such blocking. I have tried checking the status of my Instagram account, and it does not appear that my profile is subject to any penalty. So, what could be the cause of this? Is there an expert who could advise me? Please, help me.
