Hashtags don't work anymore

Hi guys,
have you had problems with hashtags in this period? In the last weeks, i'm publishing a lot of content but, i don't know why, most of the times i don't appear in the hashtags recent section (and sometimes neither in the location recent section). I post good contents, i respect all the rules imposed by IG, i don't use too many hashtags (17-20), i don't tag or mention too many pages in the photos or in the captions (1 or 2 max), We all know that bots, panels and other things don't work (well) anymore, so i stopped to use them a lot of time ago. I do all the actions manually and respect the limits. I try also to post both with data connection and wifi changing ip and nothing changed. The only thing i do now is be part of engagement pods on IG. Could it be the reason why my posts don't appear in the hashtag recent section anymore? I see other people use pods and they are always in the hashtag recent section and also top post section. I can't understand, it's very frustrating. Have you any advice for me? Thank you
