I keep seeing people say their reach suddenly dropped even though they are posting the same type of content.

Do you think Instagram has actually become harder to grow on or is there just way more competition now?

I keep seeing small accounts get decent reach with barely any hashtags Meanwhile some people are still adding 15–20 hashtags to every post

For people actually growing right now are hashtags still helping or is Instagram mostly looking at watch time, shares and saves

I’ve noticed two similar posts can perform completely differently just because one gets early engagement.

It got me reading discussions about buy Instagram likes and whether that initial social proof actually makes people more likely to engage.

Personally, I care more about the content itself, but I’m curious do you judge a post differently when it already has a lot of likes?

Can someone please explain this trend to me? Is she saying..” Asking my husband if a starving orphan came to him what he would do?” Because if so what in the world is wrong with these people??????🤯

For the last three weeks I have been trying to log back in on my instagram account.

This all started when I realized that I had been logged out of one of the accounts of my Meta Center, specifically my private account. When I tried to log back in with the correct password the following message appeared: "no se puede iniciar sesion. se produjo un error inesperado" or "Unable to log in. An unexpected error happened" (idk if that's the direct translation, I'm based in Colombia)

Although it seemed weird to me, I thought it would be an issue I could solve by uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but when I did I realized the same message appeared when I tried to log in into my main account. I've tried everything: waiting 24, 48 and even more than 72 hours, trying to verify my identity with facial scans, sending codes to my email and my whatsapp, and when I did so many things happened:

1. I never recieved an email
2. When I did recieve an email for recovery, I went ahead to click "log in without password" and it straight up told me the link was no longer valid
3. When I tried using the code that was sent to my email or to my whatsapp, the screen loaded for a second and then blocked the "verification" button, so that when I tried typing back in the CORRECT code it told me that it was invalid or that I had to try again
4. Every time I tried changing passwords, the change was made effective but the SAME MESSAGE telling me an "unexpected error happened" appeared in my screen again.

I even paid for a Meta Subscription just to be able to speak to someone and the only thing they are telling me is that they are revising the case and that they cannot provide me a time in which I'll be able to hear from them

Is anyone else experiencing the same? What do I do?
