They have however banned the hashtag #valentinesday which means that any posts you make using this hashtag aren't going to get any visibility under the hashtag and they
probably won't get any visibility under any other hashtags you have used either (in case you don't know, hashtags are the main way that people who aren't following you are shown your content). In some cases your reach to your existing audience might also be limited too.
Instagram ban hashtags when they are used to share spam, illegal or inappropriate content. Seasonal hashtags and those celebrating holidays and other special days are often
particularly susceptible to this as people know they are going to be getting a lot of traffic at that time.
There are all kinds of hashtags which are banned, many perfectly innocent sounding ones like #boho, #logodesign #beautyblogger and the one which breaks my Harry Potter loving heart #always.
Hashtags can be added or removed from the banned list at any time and there is no warning system to let you know that you have used a banned hashtag. If you find you aren't getting any reach under your hashtags it's time to search each one, if a warning pops
up saying content under this hashtag is restricted then you know it is banned.
