If you’ve noticed that your first comments are getting blocked on Instagram, it’s possible that they’re being flagged as spam. Instagram’s spam filters are constantly evolving to protect the platform, and one of the major red flags for these filters is duplicate content. This means that if you’re repeatedly using the same comment, it’s more likely to be blocked by Instagram.
How to Avoid Being Flagged
To reduce the chances of your first comments being marked as spam, here are a few tips:
Vary Your First Comments: Instead of using the same comment across all your posts, try to switch things up. Make sure each comment is unique to avoid triggering Instagram’s spam filters.
Optimise Your Hashtag Strategy: If you’re using hashtags in your first comment, consider using 10-15 highly targeted hashtags. You might also try splitting your hashtags between the caption and the first comment to diversify your content.
Be Mindful of Spam Triggers: While Instagram’s spam detection logic can be unpredictable, creating varied and unique content is a good strategy to avoid being flagged.
💡 First Comments are an Instagram-only feature. The other platforms will publish without this content.
