People who don’t follow me on Instagram can’t see my page.

"Hey, I made a new Instagram account that suddenly blew up. In a bit less than about 14 days, it got around 59 million views, about 3.9 million likes and comments, and roughly 36 thousand followers. I post lots of short videos, mostly silly ones. Out of more than 100 posts, Instagram took down two of them for breaking rules. Now my page doesn’t show up for people who don’t follow me, and my views and likes dropped a lot. I just want to know if my page will go back to normal as long as I don’t get in trouble again, or if it’s stuck like this forever. Thanks for any help.

It looks like a hidden block. Most of the time it fades after about three weeks if you don’t break any more rules.

If your page stops being recommended, it will usually be repaired after about 92 days from when the problem started. Sometimes there is a way to fix it sooner. If you want help, send me a private message and include a screenshot of what you see when you click What Can’t Be Recommended.

A shadow ban is when your account gets limited, but no one tells you. This is not the same as having posts that just aren’t pushed out. When a real shadow ban happens, your page can go from gaining lots of followers each day to losing followers instead. People won’t be able to find your account unless they type your full username exactly. Your posts also won’t show up under any hashtags, even though your Account Status still shows all green check marks. That is what a real shadow ban looks like.

Yeah, maybe. But I think there are different types of shadow bans—some might cause you to lose followers, while others might not.
