YOUR Instagram Hashtags
It's something I assume everyone knows and then people's behaviour reminds me that they might not.
On Instagram hashtags you add to YOUR posts, or in comments on your posts, will return in search.
Hashtags others add in comments on posts which are not theirs do NOT return in a search for that hashtag.

Instagram Follow Limit
I didn't know there was a limit to the number of accounts one can follow on Instagram.
Not that I'm likely to bump up against that. How about you?

Top Posts on Instagram from Cologne, Germany
Any "location" that becomes a popular posting location tends towards showing posts which do not seem to be about the location, but rather reflect certain aspects (mostly narcissism?) of human nature.
Is this unavoidable? Could the platforms do better? Should they do better?
What are your views?

Instagram Favourites
"Today, we’re introducing Favorites and Following, two new ways to choose what you see in your feed."
My view: A half baked power user feature.
A maximum of fifty accounts can be favourited. That's an abitrarily low numer for power users, who are (mostly) the only users that will use this feature.
Your thoughts?

Have a hashtag in your Instagram bio?
If you want it to be a clickable link both in the mobile App and on the webapp you will need to use all lower case.
People often use Camel case for hashtags to make them more readable, but if you do so for hashtags in you Instagram bio the hashtag will NOT be clickable on your profile when viewed using a web browser.
Most people are not aware of this because they use Instagram just with the mobile App.

What has Instagram got against capitalisation? 🤷♂️
I dunno, but if you have any hashtags in your bio or link to a hashtag results page anywhere on the web, then you should be aware that Instagram does not play well with capitalisation.
Any link to a hashtag page with a capital in the URL will return a not found / error page when being accessed on the web.
Example:
......explore/tags/MyEhrenfeld
Will fail in a browser.
......explore/tags/myehrenfeld
Will work in a browser.
I guess it's not a huge issue for most people, just an irritation for those this might affect.
Any idea why Instagram hates capitalisation?

Curretly Instagram hashtag pages, on web, are only showing a three-by-three grid of the "top posts" tagged with that hashtag.
Not sure if this has anything to do with yesterday's issues. It'll probably be a while before anyone else notices 🤷♂️

Instagram stops allowing you to see "Recent" hashtagged photos. Now you have the option to see "Recent top posts" instead.
I guess this is to combat hashtag spam, but the question is will it show all genuinely tagged images? 🤷♂️
