Instagram Follow Block - Mega Thread - Level 1 [SERIOUS]

Bearing in mind the 6k limit has proven to be dynamic across those in the forum (higher for some, lower for others; ~5400 for me), but certainly a rolling limit of some description indeed appears to exists.

Jarvee and most services let you view how many actions have been performed over a certain period. This post by @adolfousier earlier shows you how to do it in Jarvee.

Thanks. I understand how to extract the numbers of followers over the period with Jarvee, however I wanted to clarify my calculation.

On one of my clients’ accounts, we followed 16890 users from 5/5/2019 - 6/4/2019 (30 day period as there were 31 days in May). The action blocked occurred as of 6/5/2019 (no follows were able to be made that day).

So the average follows p/day was 563 and per the 6000/30 rule, the total was 10890 over the threshold.

Is the calculation 10890/563 = 19 days correct?

And therefore, based on your findings and echoed by others on the forum, an unblock date of around the 24th June could be expected?

Hey guys can you follow me? :joy::joy::joy: jkjk a bit of humor does not harm anyone, still blocked and moving slowly to day nr. 9.

I was thinking to try changing password and logging out of any services (bots) connected to my account and see if that helps without logging back in, have anyone tried that already?

Idk but i have this weird feeling that it might work, anyways my insta is really fine, i get lots of likes, i can use DMs, post photos, liking or comenting. Just blocked when i try to follow someone.

Do you have any rough estimation for like limits? like 12.000 LIKES in the last 30 days? I thought likes would have way higher limits but looks like I am wrong. Maybe it is all because of Data Center Proxies. Do you guys know any good Residential Proxy providers?

LIKE BAN (@danwim)

any of you have experienced a like ban? Because I believe that there’s a limit on this one too.

Before being blocked in Jun 5 for follow action, lifted in Jun 6, instant blocked, lifted in Jun 7, instant blocked again, I was blocked from like actions too, and apparently always in a time frame of 30 days.

The first one in April 19 (7658 likes) lifted within 24 hour
The second one in May 23 (7400 likes) this ban was strange, because it didn’t last 24 hours, just few hours so the same day was lifted.

How many accounts would you recommend per raw mobile proxy during these follow blocks? Or any other safe recommendations on proxies ? Thanks guys.

The strange thing is that I have a client who has already passed the 6000 limit and does 300-400 daily, but that’s just one such case.
The next case is a new client who never bothered to use and after 30 actions block immediately.
Maybe the proxy’s fault, I will change to mobile now :slight_smile: Maybe someone will recommend some good mobile proxy?
I wonder if limit 6000 only applies to follow or unfollow as well.
Can you 3000 follow and 3000 unfollow or 6000 follow and 6000 unfollow.
And whether all other shares also do not count against this limit.
The next thing is reviewing reddit and a lot of people have a lot of different errors from IG and more and more topics related to IG errors.
I also remember how recently the situation with the stars that observers went, etc.
Remember?
Instagram then gave the information and now there is no info.
Interesting

Can someone recommend any good site with 4G proxies? I was using DC proxies but it seems to be wrong. The price is about 3$ for one proxy (I was using 3acc/1proxy). But 4G proxies are more expensive. How much do you charge for one acc in automation?

Yeah, following this, I’m most interested mobile/4g proxies that are US based

I also connect to the question

I don’t think the eventual 6k follow limit share the unfollows. I was doing 7605 per month and when I’ve been blocked for three times, unfollow action have never been affected and they were 8100

Wow how do you guys manage to do so many likes. From my experience like is way easier to get block compared to follow.

Do you use like separately or you use like after follow?

2 accounts back today and I’ve not stopped any activities on both accounts since the follow block wave(just for testing).

Both of them is down below the 6000/30 days now (12th June 2019), one with 5738/30 other with 5755/30.

Is good to remember that I do not start to follow people right after the block release, I wait at least 24-48h and come back extremely slow.

Print screens later on.

Yes I think your calculations are correct @robksn formula for your calculation could maybe be:

(Follows in the last 30 days - 6000) /Avg. Follows per Day -> Estimated days until FB lifts

Indeed, focus on sales not on numbers.

This feels permenent right now, I’m in disbelief everytme I check and every account is still blocked…

Hi
I don’t use the F/UF method so I’m not affected by the block. However today something very strange happend with one of my test accounts. I use this account to study and experiment around the explore page. The account is in the Fortnite niche I only followed manually other accounts (less than 50)that post only fortnite material and gave them likes and comments. Everytime I see a post not related to fortnite in my feed or explore page I click on “show me fewer posts like this” after few days of this warming up my feed and explore page only contained Fortnite related posts. However today my explore feed on Desktop started showing only travel related posts not a single fortnite posts even stranger the mobile explore page did not change. Usually explore page between mobile and desktop is quite similar. What’s interesting is that I have another account in the travel niche that uses the same IP address.

I think Instagram is going through some heavy algorithm updates that’s causing all this mess and since they rely on machine learning I think even the Devs don’t understand what’s going on…
