There are some Telegram groups as well I think, not sure of what they're called right now, but yeah do some searching around and I'm pretty sure you'll find it :)

- You should engage within 60 mins. This is due to Instagram wanting the platform to be a place of engagement, rather than just posting photos and disappearing. If you get comments on your post within an hour, it's highly suggested to engage and comment back. To show that you're a real person.

How you guys do this actually? Engage / reply to comments on your posts, etc. It's not possible by phone, else IG will link your accounts to each other.

Advice is much appriciated. :)

I'm shadowbanned..... I didn't use any bots or anything like that. I just used same hashtags 23-25 everytime when i uploaded smth.. And i think that's the problem. Day before that IG delete one of my video but i don't think thats the reason to shadowban me. I waited 1 day without uploading, after that i started to upload again without hashtags ofc. When my ban will be lifted? I heard it last 14 days? Tell me more about this please.
 
My instagram had drastically low growth over the past week and now i came to know that why that happened thanks for the info mate! :)

They do bring traffic mate since new instagram feature for following hashtags is available! You have to top post the hashtag in the explore page and it will surely bring traffic! :)

Nah bro. This feature works only if you are doing stories. Why big accounts arent using hashtags? How can i see how many people's coming to my posts from hashtagS?

If you have a business account, on the insights of every post you will see the number of impressions coming from hashtags

Didn't see any changes to my accounts, maybe I'm just too safe with them to notice anything.
Try to lower your settings by 10-20% and you won't have a problem anymore.

believe my pods/engagement groups are untouched. every big account is doing it. e.g in my DMs i have over 100 accounts 500k plus doing DMs with me.

Maybe it's because of the power of the other accounts in groups evening it out?
 
mladz said:
everyone does it. but no big page will breathe in your direction if you have a small page. e.g i have pages 200k plus.. i wouldn't do DMs with a page less that 100k

Just to confirm your dm groups are where you communicate with eachother when you have just made a post and you each liike/comment each others content?

So it's no surprise that social media platforms change constantly, but now I'm hearing about changes in the Instagram algorithm that could greatly affect our growth strategies.

Some of the changes I've been hearing about through my research lately include;
---
- You should engage within 60 mins. This is due to Instagram wanting the platform to be a place of engagement, rather than just posting photos and disappearing. If you get comments on your post within an hour, it's highly suggested to engage and comment back. To show that you're a real person.

- 30 hashtags are too many. Apparently now, if you use the full 30 tags, you'll be considered spam and shadowbanned. It's been suggested to use 5-10 tags only (in the body of the post, not first comment). And also, use different tags for each post.
Because of the new feature to follow hashtags, I guess IG wants quality posts ( and not constant spam), so that users don't feel turned off from follow hashtags.

- Pods/Engagement Groups could have adverse effects. IG has developed a way to understand if you use pods (this has been alleged for a while now). So it's being said that the use of comment pods may be detrimental.
---

Not sure where Powerlikes falls in all of this yet. Howegver, to all the bot users, maybe readjust your methods or find better bots? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Any other things you guys have heard?

Where have you sourced this information from mate?

Trying to look for a good source of insta algorithm news and insta stuff, where are you sourcing your info from?
 
Can confirm about using less hashtags and keeping them in the Caption.

All over the place. Mostly trusted individuals. I wouldn't say there's one master source of info for the Instagram algo. It's mostly careful analysis and observations from diff communities.
