Hey guys , for some reason instagram stopped showing my posts on its hashtags (not even recent activity)
What could be the reason for that?

I have been shadow banned recently after a forced password change saying "my account has been compromised" from what they suspect is unauthentic likes/follows. I changed the password and within a few days hashtag and geo shadowban.
I posted only unique content. Used a few repeating hashtags but mostly randomized it or added different hashtags based on the post content. Don't think any of my hashtags are banned.
It has been over a week now. Other reports on BHW say it can take 2 weeks or more to be for the shadow ban to be lifted.

It happened something similar to me last Friday. No one reported me but Instagram took down my photo from January because I tried to sell drugs, weapons or endangered animals but it was normal photo of a dog.
I am still shadowbaned and it is very frustrating.
How long did your account was shadowbaned?

Usually, it took 2 weeks to show up my hashtag again when my post got reported. But now it is almost 3 month and still, my hashtag is not showing up. Can't grown ig when it is shadowbanned. I keep on reporting to ig but hey why da fuck they will listen us

Shadowbans usually last 2 weeks
I am shadow banned as well. I make a post 1000+ likes, suddenly next post is only 100 likes. I am 100% white hat natural post from my phone only.
I know what my followers like and I made a post I was certain would hit 2000 likes no issue it only got 150. I checked the hashtags, I appear nowhere.
I took about 5 days off, now all my recent posts that were in hashtags are gone from those hashtag recent posts!
No idea why. I am even followed by accounts that are large and even REPOSTED ME that have 100-400k followers. They were real celebs I met and liked my page and posted it.
I am now just posting on stories nonstop. No idea wtf is going on. It is very frustrating. I don't sell anything on my page either

Stop posting for 2 weeks. In these 2 weeks focus on engaging with followers, like their posts, comment, talk with them by DM. After 2 weeks start using all instagram options for posting: photos, videos, stories and IGTV. It should help you all guys.

Oh, I forgot to mention, dont use bot for engaging with followers, you should do it by your hands

Before I had an image taken down.
After Image was taken down.
From around 200k impressions to 50k impressions a week. I'm still shadow banned as far as I can tell. It's a meme account so someone got offended I guess. lmao
is the only way to get impressions to have a BUSINESS account? I am using a personal account. I don't have Facebook so I think I would need that for a business account right?
I already started to post without hashtags :/
Mine
Yes, you will need business account.
Actually, I had insights on some of my personal accounts because they had more that 100k followers when IG made Insights and I got them then, but I made this acc business at some point. I converted it to personal a few days ago because I read that it can help with shadowban too. Luckily I still have Insights.
