i used to go looking around hashtags after expos but the posts are so polluted with spam, and even stuff like #girlswithmuscle will have a dozen pictures of shirtless dudes posting progress photos int he first couple of scrolls. i don't even bother looking anymore and just let the algo bring stuff forward
I've recently noticed that I can't browse hashtags on instagram. I used to type in the typical hashtags to find new girls to follow, but now any hashtag I type in it only shows the curated "top posts" section which is only 9 posts and utterly useless.
I've tried with unrelated completely benign tags too, and even those are blocked.
Am I shadowbanned or what?
