So guys, I uploaded a video today on my insta and first comment was mine, I posted the hashtags. Video got much likes, and comments but it didn't reached hashtags and in my statistics there aren't reached from hashtags part, what is the problem? Thanks in advance.
 
Maybe you used blacklisted hashtags or your post was shadowbanned.
 
Hello, You can try post the video with hashtags below, and not in coments.
 
Try reposting it? Put the hashtags in the post itself but not in the comments section.
Maybe that will work.
 
Probably shadowbanned. This can happen if you bot your account

Next time you post make one of your hashtags something small (less than 10,000 uses) and check after you post to see if it appears.

If it doesn't show up - try not to bot at all for a few days and you'll find your hashtags appear again.

F/UF works but it has many flaws including shadowbans
 
Hey the same here. I could find out what happened. We have been shadowbanned. Seems like from the last changes on IG few days ago, the algorithm doesn't like we use a lot of hashtags anymore. I was using always around 25 and 29 hashtags, but now we must to use only 4 or 5 if we want to get promoted by hashtags and avoid the shadowban. Also they have to be in the caption and not in commnents and they have to be specific ones and related with the content. So now we just have to wait till shadowban ends and start using the hashtags in the right way. This ban is killing me. I use to have around 5K and 15K views per post and this shit dropped down my traffic to a poor 300-500 views on my last 8 posts. Luckily I found the reason and hopefully I can fix it soon.
Someone here knows how long can take this kind of shadowban for inappropiate use of hashtags?? Thanks.

I have the same problems ,even some of my accounts banned,
i think we should create new accounts again
 
wait bro, don't be catastrophic. Usually shadowbans are removed in few days. It happened in some of my accounts to post too much for example and used to be removed in 24 hours. A friend of mine said me that this time for the hashtags wrong use it could take couple weeks, but I don't think so. It's too much for an "small thing" like that. Don't you think?

No, that looks dumb.
You can go to displaypurposes.com and use these hashtags + the dots. Post it into the comments literally the second it gets up, and it will work with the hashtags.
Displaypurposes uses good hashtags, trust me ;)

The dots will make the comment "invisible" from the feed tab, so they don´t see your comment instantly, they just see [...]
 
Hashtags are not banned, i dont know if I am shadowbanned. Today i put hashtags in the video description and nothing happened, same as yesterday. I noticed how on my recent videos there are black bars on both sides, maybe instagram dont rank those videos idk. I used 5 hashtags 100% related, so i think im shadowbanned or myb because of those black bars. What do you guys think? And what does shadowbanned mean in a simple way.
 
Shadowbanned means, that IG is blocking your post on hashtag search. When you used the hashtag #car in your post and someone searchs for #car, your post won't appear to the searcher. No one will find your post through a hashtag search -> your shadowbanned.

My opinion: the black bars have nothing to do with it. I posted also a lot of videos with black bars and can't remember got shadowbanned.

Are you liking, following/unfollowing alot of people day by day? This could be due to the fact.

I did the f/u method 800 people per day I stopped doing that yesterday, should I wait fee days oro
 
And yesterday it was asking for Phone verification, maybe I am shadowbanned? And how long shadowbans last?
 
Rest account 48h - 72h. After resting make a post with 3-5 hashtags and search with another account, if your post appears under your hashtags.
If you don't have another account, no worries! Use the public hashtag web search from IG and look there, if your post appears.
