Hi, so i need help with my instagram pages ... usually it was so easy for me to grow accounts but recently it all just become very weird.
MY SETUP
5 different phones
1 phone has 2 accounts
2 phone has 1 account
3 phone has 3 accounts
4 phone has 3 accounts
5 phone has 1 account

so 10 accounts in total.
I got two insta hub accounts with "the link in bio" lets say @link and @lenk
- 5 accounts have the @link in bio
- the other 5 accounts have @lenk in bio

each phone has a different sim card

now heres the weird thing :
every account says it gets on explore and everything on my account is green but all likes on my post just freeze at a certain number.

one acc never goes bigger then 50 likes, another 150, another 100 and some have thousands of followers but still never make it past 300 likes.

What am i doing wrong here ? Im posting original content and theres other creators who do the EXACT SAME ( many accs with @ in bio rather direct link who repost their own content ) and they get no restriction and grow super fast.

I usually got 1-2k likes and 100-300 followers per post ! so it cant be my content.

Do i need to use proxies? should i get one phone for EACH account ? is my setup bad ? i really need some advice here ...

1st to confirm that your accounts have shadow ban or not. Just post a post on your accounts with an almost never used/new hashtag. Now go to that hashtag page, and see if your account's pages are being visible there or not? If not, then you have a shadow ban. If they show up there, then there is no shadowban from the Instagram side. You'll need to look at other things.
 
You may want to add 1 account per phone since if you add 2 and 1 of them gets an issue, it may trigger a flag in the other one. We have agencies that have said that with multiple devices so I am just letting you know.
 
Try spacing posts and interactions to mimic real human behavior.
 
Try reducing account links overlap, avoid shared bios, and switch to 1 phone per account, Instagram might be flagging for network or behavioral patterns.
 
It seems like your account might be experiencing shadowbanning or throttling due to rapid growth patterns. Consider reducing the frequency of posts or diversifying engagement methods. Additionally, proxies could help if IP throttling is the issue.
 
It might just be the new engagement limits or algorithm behavior Instagram’s been inconsistent lately. Try spacing out posts and interactions, and keep activity natural on each account instead of changing your setup too quickly.

Using normal proxies can make the task riskier. I prefer mobile proxies, but since you mentioned you're using a SIM card, I'd advise you to ensure you use one account per device.
 
Do you use mobile data from the SIM card in each phone? Or are they all connected to the same WiFi? However, it is best to use a single profile in an anti-detect browser + proxy for each IG account.
 
As far as I can see, everyone recommends anti-detect browser for multiple accounts.
 

It’s likely throttling or shadowbans from overlapping signals. Use one account per device or mobile proxy, avoid shared bios/links, and keep actions natural. Test for shadowban with unused hashtags, post slower, and vary behavior. Mobile proxies or anti-detect browsers help keep each account’s fingerprint unique.​

 
Use an anti-detection browser such as Dolphin, and be sure to use a proxy if you manage more than 2-3 accounts on one device.

It sounds like a classic case of Instagram tightening engagement distribution rather than an account setup issue. Lately, I’ve noticed that even with clean setups, certain activity patterns (same bio links, similar posting times, or overlapping IP behavior) can quietly limit reach. Sometimes rotating your posting schedule, changing captions style, or switching between different content formats (like mixing reels and carousels) helps the algorithm re-evaluate the account. It’s less about proxies now and more about making each account look naturally unique.
 
Sounds like you have many phones for no reason. Why not have them all on the same phone and just change the device id, serial, mac address, ect and have a proxy running on each one

From what I see, each of your phones only has up to 3 accounts, and I don’t think that’s too many, a normal user could easily have that many. So if you suspect this setup is affecting your engagement, try using proxies. For now, assign one proxy per phone and post for a while to see if it helps. If things still don’t improve, then switch to one phone per account, each with its own proxy.
 
Your setup’s triggering Instagram’s engagement throttling not a shadowban, but a hidden cap. Even with separate phones/SIMs, linking all accounts to just two hub profiles (@link/@lenk) creates a behavioral cluster IG flags as "inauthentic network activity." Big accounts you see doing this? They rotate hub links, use aged accounts, and space out cross-posting. You’re likely hitting engagement ceilings because IG sees your 10 accounts as one entity pushing traffic to the same destination.

Fix fast:
  • Stop using only @link/@lenk give each account its own unique bio link (even if it’s a simple Linktree variant).
  • Don’t cross-post identical content on the same day stagger uploads by 24–48 hrs.
  • Use GoLogin + mobile proxies (yes, even on phones) to isolate network fingerprints.
  • Get closer to 1 account per device 3 accounts on one phone is a red flag.
IG isn’t punishing your content it’s throttling your pattern. Break the cluster, and likes will flow again.

Loolks like you are doing the typical OF/Fanvue mother child methods..... Try expanding beyond just Instagram... use backlinks from Tumblr, Reddit, X, etc. That will boost engagement on your posts, which then helps your new uploads perform better. Also, run direct Instagram post ads in the beginning until you’ve built up enough followers who engage on their own... The faster your posts get likes and comments, the more Instagram will push your content.
 
Your setup likely trips trust signals since multiple accounts share devices and identical bio links; isolating each account with its own device/IP and varying bios usually restores normal reach.
 
4. **Warm-up Accounts**: If any of these are newer or haven't been active for a while, they need a slow warm-up period. Don't blast them with activity right away.

IG is likely soft-limiting your accounts. Even with different SIMs, running many pages on the same devices + same link pattern can trigger trust issues. Try spreading actions out, changing link setups, and giving the accounts a few days to cool down. It usually fixes itself once trust resets.
