Banned Hashtag List
WHAT ARE INSTAGRAM BANNED HASHTAGS?
Using the right hashtags on Instagram can make your posts reach more people and boost engagement. It also helps Instagram figure out what your post is about, so it shows it to the right audience.
But watch out for certain hashtags—they're not your friends! These are the banned ones, and the Instagram community has reported them for a couple of reasons.
- Firstly, some hashtags are just plain naughty. People are posting things that go against Instagram's rules, and you'll find many of these on the banned list.
- Another reason is that these hashtags have been hijacked by bots and spammers who love bombarding them with posts over and over (that's called SPAM).
- So, why steer clear of these banned hashtags? Because Instagram might think you're up to no good and label you as a spammer or rule-breaker.
- And that could lead to a shadowban, where Instagram temporarily puts the brakes on your account.
Imagine your reach and engagement dropping to almost zero—that's what a shadowban does. If you notice your hashtags getting zero love, be cautious; you might be in shadowban territory!
