Is Hashtag Research still a thing?

Same is happening for me. I’m not even showing up in recent hashtags. I’m mad too, because this post is doing extremely well among my followers. I would’ve gotten 50 followers from hashtags alone

#43

Yeah unfortunately IG has been giving me issues with insights for my 2 latest posts, I hope it just gets fixed with their new update.

#44

Right there with you. Two posts ago I got amazing reach. also, sent you a DM

#45

Hashtag reach is back to normal for me today. But I posted a single pic

Thank you for the update! Did you see any changes on your posts that were having issues or has it only been fixed for new posts?

#47

Yeah, everything is fixed

#48

as an update, I’m getting hashtag reach today as well, even with carousel post

Not getting real hashtag reach since months. Used to get 30k impressions from hashtags all the time. How are you doing hashtag research atm? As you cannot access Instagram on your browser without logging in, researching whether you are able to hit the tags is almost impossible. It just shows me post with 100 likes even for 80m post hashtags like e.g. #fashion. Is there any other way to access that data? :slight_smile: thanks guys :slight_smile:

I found 15 key hashtags for my account and built sets from that by using the instagram’s suggested hashtags. I look at the frequency of posts on recent, along with the overall hashtag size. You can do a search for the ladder method that’s frequently talked about on here (small, medium, and large hashtags). This is guide is useful

I manually log in from my phone? Why can’t you just log in?

i do that to, but i meant that for everyone top posts are different. And even though I should hit top post, based on my likes, I don’t. I find that weird.

@Candydandy I’m not sure wtf is going on, but this week my reach has never been worse, home or hashtag

#53

Same, something is going on with IG. My insights are also messed up and my follower number keeps on changing even though it doesn’t show that anyone has followed or unfollowed me.

#54

The platform is starting to piss me off, but we should probably just hang tight for bit

Not getting any reach from hashtags either really. Stopped using them now for the past two days

#56

I feel ya. Report here when you start getting decent reach. Ironically, since my reach has been terrible, my organic growth has picked up. I wonder if it’s similar for others

#57

Another update; I’ve been getting hashtag reach for the past week, but never over 20% not following (still getting followers from hashtags, so I don’t think it’s a recent hashtag limitation). I wonder if IG is performing an experiment with a new kind of limited reach.

I have seen small account posting same content and with same hashtags as mine and my page is over 100k and their is >10k still getting three times likes as compare to mine.
I never bought follower never used bots and i have many sets of hashtags which i spin with posts.
Account is nearly 2 years old.

From my observation Zuckerberg is running a casino where he lets winning new people to empty their pockets in the end.

My account is starting to glitch again with the followers number jumping up and down. I’ll update again tomorrow on that and hashtag reach

Same thing is happening with me. My insights are also glitching, sometimes it shows from location and sometimes explore.
