My posts are never in the recent posts

I created a profile on Instagram a few days ago and observed something weird.

I have already added a dozen posts (average 1 per day) and none of them are displayed in the recent posts on the specified tag. It looks like a shadowban, but I did not do anything illegal on this account. I did not use any bots etc, just normal content.

At the beginning I noticed that all posts in recent posts have at least 1 like. Now mine always have a few likes, because the first people from my fanpage started to follow the profile on Instagram and it did not do anything. Still no posts are displayed in the recent.

Maybe this shadowban is caused because I had couple verifications? I use this account on a PC and phone. On my PC I use VPN with IP from different country, which caused SMS verification several times.

What can I do now? Without posts in recent posts, new customers will not find my profile and new follows will not appear.

You answered your question right there, IG doesn't like that kind of behavior hopping IP's like that. Just wait and confirm all of the verifications and stop using it from your vpn. Also make sure you aren't using 30 hashtags every time in the comments, IG doesn't like that either.

This is assuming you are using small hashtags and are checking immediately after you post, because if you do the opposite then ofc you wonnt see your post!

I add about 5-10 hashtags to the post, never in the comments.


Now I know what causes the problem, thanks.
