Understanding Shadowbans

What is a Shadowban?

A shadowban (officially "reduced distribution") limits your content's reach without notification. Your posts still appear to followers but are hidden from hashtag feeds, Explore, and recommendations.

How to Confirm a Shadowban

Check Settings > Account > Account Status for official restrictions. Also monitor your Insights—if non-follower reach dropped below 5% across multiple posts, you're likely restricted.

Recovery Timeline

Most shadowbans last 2-14 days for first offenses. Repeat violations extend to 30+ days. Recovery requires immediately stopping problematic behavior and focusing on genuine engagement.

Prevention

Avoid third-party automation tools, stay within action limits (30-50 likes/hour, 10-15 comments/hour), and don't use banned hashtags. Consistency and authenticity are your best protection.
