“How to manage this? I mean, what to do now? I had link to my landing page (with links to OF and Fansly) in highlights as many of you, I think. What other choices now? Got restricted just while once, and it happens never, my reel got viral whyyyyyy? Please help! submitted by /u/Easy-Star7894 [link] [comments]”
“Hey guys so I no longer have a link in my IG bio or highlights😔. I had a private domain that I own with a clean landing page that served as an influencer hub w an age gate to get the second page where my OF was AND masked links but I accidentally got it flagged by text association via a broadcast channel message I sent😭 after removing it I went 9 days with no link then tried again w onlylinks using only safe words and tried their shadowblock feature but I think shadowblock was a mistake cuz it”
“I'm a very large creator. For the last several months I've had my link in my highlights and was absolutely killing it the last couple months. Last week I tried every single way of having my link in highlights (deep links, custom URL etc.) but they all got flagged after a couple days. Now I just have my link in my story and my highlight just saying check my story for the link. No flags so far but my conversion completely crashed. Like from 25-40 new paid subs a day to 10-20. Like you thin”
“IG recently flagged a bunch of deep links like Bouncy.ai to redirect people out of IG, what ways can we use to get around this? Any deep links that haven’t been flagged? submitted by /u/piicklesxx [link] [comments]”
So initially a week ago my highlight link got flagged so I removed it and after turning green replaced it with a slightly different link which got flagged after a day. I…
“All my links got flagged on my Instagrams. I had to either remove from my bio or remove from my story highlights on my profile. I used to use beacons and linktree but that got flagged, now using link.me those just got flagged. What else is there to use? submitted by /u/Kooky-Pomegranate882 [link] [comments]”
“I just got another workaround idea for the IG link situation. I noticed some people were getting flagged for tagging a burner account with a link in that bio. But instead of tagging the account, just make a post on the burner account and share that post from the burner account to highlights and write "link here”. submitted by /u/ag111904 [link] [comments]”

“i had my link in highlights triple hidden and it was flagged today with no mention of OF or NSFW content. just a warning, they’re cracking down on that. my went link page -> link page -> OF with no direct mentions. be careful! submitted by /u/rattygirl51 [link] [comments]”
“Okay so I had an idea - if you have IG account with a link in highlights and YOU ARE NOT FLAGGED - please comment exactly what setup are you using (what service, if its double click, etc.). Lets make a big overview. IF YOU ARE FLAGGED, please don´t comment. If you commented here and got flagged later, please come back and let us know (saying this because with IG, it might be a matter of time, not everyone gets flagged at the same time, AI is constantly scanning accounts). Me: I have two accounts”
“Trying to figure out what happened and whether anyone has experienced something similar. I use my instagram to boost my onlyfans My main account grew from about 700 to almost 9,000 followers in roughly a month, with around 6.2 million reach. Several Reels hit 100k–500k views, and things were moving consistently. Then around September 29–30, reach suddenly dropped hard. New posts started getting much lower views, and even my older viral Reels seemed to stop gaining views around the same time. Som”
“I know most of us are scrambling with insta flagging our highlights now so I’m here to offer a hopefully helpful solution. Now for me, it’s a little easier when it comes to what people need to look up since I have my own domain, but what I did was put my website name and .com spaced from it and told people to obviously combine to one word and look up. I’m in the clear so far and It’ll of course take people wanting to take that extra step, but it is at least a way for them to see that I have more”

“SORRY i meant redirecting to x on instagram i. Regards to getting them to onlyfans Just curious if its a nsfw x thanks for the help o really appreciate this subreddit a lot! submitted by /u/Select-Awareness5416 [link] [comments]”
“The trick with not getting your reach limited for the last several months is to put your link hub in your highlights. Well Instagram just caught on and is flagging everyone's highlights now and limiting reach. It just started a couple hours ago. What are we going to do now? I removed the highlights like 20 mins ago and my reach still says limited smh. Hopefully it fixes. submitted by /u/escobarlives69 [link] [comments]”
