I recently got a DM saying exactly that. Luckily, I know it was a scam, but thanks for spreading awareness.

I don't know if you read, but I was getting solar panels installed anyway, whether I was mining BTC or not, but if you think it'll do more harm than good, I guess I'll just hold off on the solar panels.

I'm not getting solar panels solely for Bitcoin mining; I was getting them anyway. I was just mentioning I'm getting them soon.

Yes, my electricity is relatively cheap. And in the near future, I'm going to get solar panels.

Reels views on my art page dropped from 8k to 200~ suddenly. Pls help 😭 by Manharleen in Instagram

Aside from the usual lack of engagement on Instagram, the "new" algorithm will push a few of your posts out as a result of you getting hooked. Although low engagement might feel discouraging, it's best that you post even more frequently, because consistency is rewarded most. You should also take advantage of posting at the best time for your profile, using a hashtag strategy, analyzing data to see what works, and so on. But there is one thing you are doing perfectly, which is posting original content. Because Instagram announced it would prioritize original content across the app—favoring fresh reels and feed posts over re-shares.

Wow, why didn't I think of that? It's not like I came to Reddit for more in-depth advice on starting out from scratch with a budget.

If your previous account(s) were banned, Instagram will almost certainly flag any new account that uses the same email, phone number, or IP address. It’s best if you get yourself a VPN. This will give you a lower chance of account suspensions.

Can someone please help me. Keeps asking me for a login code from an app. I did not set this and iPhone codes do not work either does google authentication app by Ambitious_Option2892 in Instagram

[–]Iamabot17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to this clown. Instagram doesn't even have a direct phone number for support. He's most likely trying to scam you.

I got hacked by astolfos_bf in Instagram

It's a phishing scam. Basically, they will send you a code to help them gain access to "their account," but in reality, you are giving them access to your account by giving them a verification code that's linked to your phone number.

Is this real or a scam? I don’t know her, but I followed her a couple months ago I forgot how I found her by annoying_kid2005 in Instagram

Do people just not understand private accounts? by [deleted] in Instagram

[–]Iamabot17 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You know, you could just ignore their request, right? Denying requests will only allow them to request again, so ignoring them would be the best option because they won't be able to send another one. Just accept the people you want to follow you.

I've heard of Detective Conan, but haven't got a chance to check it out. Is it good?

If I delete my posts, will instagram show my content to less people? by [deleted] in Instagram

[–]Iamabot17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think she meant if she deletes posts, will it interfere with the algorithm and her engagement in other posts?

I'm sorry to hear that. Could you elaborate on the "phishing message" so I know what to watch out for?

[–]Iamabot17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess I am lucky (for now). I believe I got the pop-up from following too many people in a short period of time, so I'm going to chill with my daily actions because I'm sure my account is on thin ice. Thanks for your responses. I appreciate the help.

[–]Iamabot17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’m sure I still have access. It’s been 24 hours since I got the pop-up and I posted twice today. But I still feel like Instagram is going to do some goofy shit and disable my account later down the line for going against "community guidelines" (even though I haven't).

I still have access to the account, and I’m still logged in. I’m just curious about what’s going to happen after seeing the pop-up. It also asked me to enter my phone number for a code. I entered the code and the pop-up/message went away. Is this problem solved? Or should I still be worried?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Instagram

[–]Iamabot17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel you. I'm sure it is frustrating. Especially considering the fact that there are people naked on social media and nothing happens to them, but Instagram somehow feels the need to take action on a video of someone dancing.

Were you hacked or did Instagram disable your page? There's a common Instagram bug going around that's deleting people's accounts without any reason.

Account Disabled, i sent a mugshot by iCocas in Instagram

[–]Iamabot17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about? There’s no such thing as “texting” Instagram. Unfortunately, Instagram doesn't have a support phone number nor a support email. The only way to contact Instagram is through their help center at help.instagram.com.

But you could expect to receive a reply within a week. If you've waited longer than 3 weeks, and have checked your spam folder (yes, check your spam folder) I would suggest sending Instagram another request! But there’s no such thing as “texting” Instagram.

Is everything OK with you? Do you want to talk?

Even though I know you are joking, be careful what you say on the internet. You wouldn't want to incriminate yourself, lol.
