Check your habits

Tick anything that's true for you. Heavier risks turn red.

Common causes of restricted reach

  • Mass following and unfollowing in a short time.
  • Posting the same link or reply over and over.
  • Lots of blocks or reports from strangers.
  • Joining spammy follow-for-follow trains.
  • Automation that likes or replies for you.

How to recover

Pause bulk actions for 7 days
Stop mass following, unfollowing and liking, and leave follow trains or engagement pods. Limits usually follow bursts of activity, so a quiet week is the fastest fix.
Post original content only
Don't repeat the same link or reply. Write each reply for the post in front of you and space out posts that carry links.
Disconnect automation
Revoke apps that like, reply or DM for you in Settings → Security and account access → Apps and sessions.
Check your sensitive media setting
In Settings → Privacy and safety → Your posts, untick “Mark media you post as having material that may be sensitive” unless you need it. Flagged media can be filtered out of search.
Grow through real interactions
Slow down, post original content, and grow through real interactions. Matching with a small set of founders who engage back is safer than bulk follows - see FollowX.today vs manual follow-for-follow.
Re-test in 48 hours
Temporary limits often lift within a few days. Run the same three tests from the same second account so the results are comparable.
