Instagram Shadowban and How to Avoid It

What is Instagram shadowbanning?

Instagram shadowbanning is a practice where Instagram limits the visibility of a user's content without notifying them. This means that your posts will not appear in hashtags, the Explore page, or other users' feeds, even if they follow you. You can still post and interact with your followers, but your reach will be significantly reduced.

There are several reasons why Instagram may shadowban a user, including:

• Using banned hashtags
• Posting too frequently
• Buying followers or likes
• Using bots to automate your activity
• Posting content that violates Instagram's community guidelines

How to tell if you've been shadowbanned

There are a few ways to tell if you've been shadowbanned on Instagram:

• Your posts are no longer appearing in hashtags
