\"Shadowbanning<\/p>\n

Social media marketing is welcoming new terms on a frequent basis. Instagram shadowbanning is one of them. Facebook and Twitter has specific rules when it comes to non-complying users, mostly, they block the users and deactivate the account. However, Instagram has taken a smart approach \u2013 Shadow ban. When it started, it even puzzled the social media marketing<\/a> services agencies. Instagram shadowbanning is something that is worrying the Instagram users \u2013 especially the ones who make money out of the platform \u2013 like Bloggers, influencers, and Photographers. So let us see what it is all about \u2013<\/p>\n

Instagram shadowbanning –<\/h1>\n

Well, Twitter has been practicing this since last couple of months. However, when Twitter used to come across a user who are not in sync with the policies, they used to inform them via official mail and their account used to temporarily out of work. The users were notified and made aware of their errors. However, Instagram does it discreetly \u2013 it blocks you from the community without your knowledge, but it does in such a way that the user will not realize that they have been shadow banned. How the users come to know that they are a victim of Instagram shadowbanning?<\/p>\n

1. Instagram hides the post of those particular users from everybody else who are not following them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. If you search for a specific hashtag, you will not find the post of the shadowbaned user under that hashtag. Only the shadowbanned user and their current followers can see those.<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. This means that the purpose of using hashtags is lost, and gradually, it affects your Instagram reach and follower count.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you want to know if you\u2019ve shadowbanned, do this \u2013<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1. Check from someone else\u2019s account<\/strong>
\nCheck your Instagram account from someone who\u2019s not following you. Ask them to search the hashtag that you\u2019ve used in your latest post. If he can\u2019t find it under the posts listed under the
\nhashtags, in high probability, you\u2019ve been banned!
\n2. Use http:\/\/shadowban.azurewebsites.net\/<\/strong>\u00a0Enter your email id or username and they\u2019ll tell you if you\u2019ve been shadowbanned.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to avoid Instagram shadowbanning<\/h3>\n

1. Stop using banned hashtags in your posts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instagram is 850million users strong and with that kind of strength, it\u2019s obvious that managing and monitoring the activities on the platform would not be easy. Many a times, a hashtag gets popular under a wrong context and it can turn it offensive. So when such thing happens, Instagram generally blocks the hashtag or monitor and limit the use of it. If it is blocked, you cannot search for the posts under it, and in turn, your posts too, won\u2019t be visible. Recently, Instagram released a new set of banned hashtags. We have listed it below \u2013
\n#dogsofinstagram #boho #costumes #tanlines #humpday #tgif #brain #saltwater #petitie #curvy
\n#singlelife #thebaligroom #elevator #astreetphoto #books #meme #newyears #todayimwearing
\n#snapchat #skype #sallyhansen #shesquats #pushups #easter #curvy #kindredparents #dedicationstudio

2. Discontinuing the usage of non-compliant software<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since Instagram quickly became digital marketers\u2019 favourite tool, a lot of softwares and websites cropped up that introduced automation in postings and CRM on Instagram. However, these bots are no helpful for your brand because Instagram shadowbans the accounts that use them. Most of the softwares are not agreeing with the official policies of Instagram and hence, Instagram can even completely ban the account.<\/p>\n

3. Frequency & activity on Instagram<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is very natural for a beginner brand to try to increase conversations on any social media platform. And Instagram users are no different \u2013 they try to comment, like, and interact as much as possible, but they\u2019re not aware of the consequences. Well, Instagram has a daily limit for all the activities \u2013 on a daily and hourly basis \u2013 like our debit card withdrawals. If you want to be safe from Instagram shadowbanning, try to \u2013 Like not more 150-200 posts, not more than 50 follows \/ unfollows, not more than 60 comments \u2013 PER HOUR!
\nThis is done to keep in check the bot activities. You might have noticed that the number of your followers grows quickly once you\u2019ve posted a certain picture and the next day you check it, it\u2019s gone.
\nThus, if you do that, your account might get shadow banned.<\/p>\n

4. Stick to the policies. Avoid being reported<\/strong><\/p>\n

When some user reports your account, Instagram gets notified and it is one of the parameters for shadowbanning. However, just the reports are not enough, Instagram shadowbans only if you\u2019ve
\nviolated the policy and not complying with their usage terms. Thus, it\u2019s always to be careful. The good news is, even if you are a victim of Instagram shadowbanning, it does not last more than 3
\nweeks; we understand that it is a long period considering the use of the platform, but well, it\u2019s always better than getting completely blocked, right?<\/p>\n

In a nutshell, the best way to avoid being shadow banned is to use Instagram like a real person; not a bot, and you are good!<\/strong><\/em>
