Weird observation? Hashtag in Caption vs Comment

So I just observed something that was bizarre.

When I pasted my hashtags in the captions, the post did NOT show up in the # Recent.

However, when I posted the hashtags in the comments, it did show up.

I was looking across the internet (as well as this forum) and people have mixed thoughts about hashtags in captions vs comments.

So, I don't know what to do.

What do you think? Post below!

if it's working, then do it in the comments section, problem solved

Going to do some more A/B testing tomorrow and see how it goes.

UPDATE: So I tried it again, but this time on my phone with captions, worked fine!

Before I did this on desktop. There might've been some weird error or 'shadowban' for desktop. idfk.
