is this shadowban?

EnhancedHuman · Feb 1, 2019

I've been using the same hashtags over and over again. I used to get 3k+ impressions from hashtags and now they are like 10-30 and feels like my own followers are not seeing my posts either.

I use engagement rounds (I don't give likes I only receive them).

NOW

BEFORE

Any way to recover from this?

you posted the same thing twice
If it's the after it's not a classical shadowban, because you wouldn't have any hashtag score reported
But it might be reduced visibility, not fully banned.

Fixed it. But from 2.5k to 14... Kind of strange? Maybe the engagement rounds are hurting me.

Tbh I think the recent updates on Instagram has slowed down everyone’s engagement. I had an account that was gaining 3K followers a day now it’s down by 50%! I wouldn’t worry about it too much it is happening to everyone

I'm just wondering about the hashtags impressions. Had almost 3k on previous posts and now it's 10-20.

No. It just started happening a few days ago. Last 4 posts all have no hashtag impressions. I usually post the photo, then copy/paste the hashtags as a comment and then add my site url and a few emojis as another comment. I think using the same hashtags caused it?

Maybe but why you put your site url and emojis in a second comment and not in the caption of the post? Are you doing this on every post?

Easy way to boost the comment count right away. I've always done that.

So it's ok to use the same hashtags for every post?

What are you using to read these analytics? Is merely the Business account for Insta?

Thanks in advance!

It's totally not ok, it looks like spam. Always change your hashtags of you posts maybe keep 5-10 max the same change the rest.
