I think what people have said about shadowbanning in the past was not that your post were hidden from your followers feed but more than your post would not be visible within the hashtag section. So let's say you keep spamming your posts with 30 unrelevant hashtags, instagram would stop showing your post within the hashtag page. Instagram didn't explicitly say it was not happening and they could make a case that it isn't the true definition of shadow banning. But it seems that many people have observed this behavior in the past.

> not that your post were hidden from your followers feed but more than your post would not be visible within the hashtag section I had an account that was shadowbanned, or at least seemed to be, and I was able to confirm that my posts didn't show up under hashtags or in followers feeds. In order to see my posts you had to manually navigate to my page, which caused my likes to drop to less than 5 per post
