Recent hashtags was one of my favourite things on instagram. I loved scrolling through, looking at new things from accounts with a wide variety of follower numbers. I have found a lot of lovely artists that way and gained a lot of followers myself that way too, I imagine. I feel like that's the biggest thing that's messing people over?

THANK YOU for giving the update with a critical and skeptical analysis. It seems like every other Instagram channel just says "Look, they're literally telling you what to do and how to grow" in spite of the evidence that EVERY time they tell us they're going to "help us grow", reach has consistently FALLEN with the exception of the Reelz release. Why are they making every feature not do what it's supposed to? "Follow" no longer shows you their content. "Recent" in hashtags has been replaced by "recent TOP hashtags", which is almost exactly the same as "top hashtags" completely ignoring the "recent" part with months and years out-of-date content typically from either official or large accounts. "Explore" STILL shows me posts I've already interacted with "Search".... What exactly does this do that hashtags don't/didn't do? It's basically just making you go through extra steps to get to the hashtags that they've ruined...

Removing the Hashtag Recent Posts is killing me. It was the best way to post and have my photos seen by new people and vis versa. How does a small creator have a top post if nobody can see it? Like Spotify it favours the already successful.The new followers I get are now only from people I have engaged with.

This is dumbfounding, previously there was a chance my photos were seen by someone with a following looking a recents, liking my post and the algorithm doing its thing. Now every post only ever gets liked by about 10% of my followers and rarely anyone from outside my current followers. Furthermore true hubs like raw community are no longer functioning properly. I’m guessing they were trying to crush the annoying hashtag paid hub bots but this was not the way to do it. Truly a detached choice by ig and a completely discouraging one for any creator starting out on the platform

Things are constantly moving and changing every time I open the app. I'm not about to be wasting my time trying to keep up with their broken app, bizarre algorithm, and useless features. I just post what and when I feel like and expect that only a tiny fraction of my followers may eventually see it - or maybe not! Your sarcasm describing this app was perfect.

I agree with the collaborate feature, I've collaborated with some huge accounts but it was my page that posted it and it's as if the post didn't exist on the other account's feed or if it did not for very long. They've literally ruined their own app. If it had been done sooner like in 2019, you could argue Facebook bought Instagram to kill the competition, but I think they want to ruin it's legacy now at this stage.

Thanks for this insight. I kinda knew something was amiss as fewer and fewer people were seeing my posts. It's become a huge problem for those that wanted to push their photos to a wider audience,like myself. Now I barely see any recognition for the photos I post or friends that want to push their photos. IG algorithms have pushed more video creators to replace what was a photo sharing site essentially. Now my feed is saturated with nonsense I don't need to see or have any interest in. If I click a video,all I see after that is more and more videos,it is ridiculous.

Brutal. The reason why vast majority of followers aren't reached is that vast majority of people follow literally hundreds or thousands of people. Social media is becoming a misnomer. There's nothing social about it. It's all about consuming consent and not caring about creators of that content. I realised that people who use social media as social media are a tiny minority. Most are just addicted to browsing. They are basically takers. I pretty much only browse using "following". Used to use "recent tags" too but they just had to take that away to make Instagram pay to win. Or rather pay to lose taking into account how generally ineffective social media self-promotion is in the first place.

How do you quantify 'engaging content' and 'original content'? There isn't a 'do all' post with content that can appeal to everyone! When will Instawank understand that the platform should be able to cater for all types of users and consumers on the platform? Not everyone is interested in reels or stories, or even wants to create them. I've already removed one account, I'm close to removing my other. It's an awful platform that doesn't offer anything I want/need.
