Why I can't login to my art account

It does appear that the Netherworld Post instagram is now back and visibility is fixed.

Thanks, entirely, to a Tumblr anon's comment who wrote in:

"when you go to your profile, tap on the three line icon in the top right corner, Settings and privacy, Creator tools and controls, Minimum age, do you have a minimum age set there? Right now your account is restricted to 16+, which won’t allow anyone not logged in to view it."

Then after a few hours of cache clearing, everything seems to be working as intended.

I spent over 40 hours trying to figure this out. Probably far more, I stopped clocking time at 40 hours because it got too depressing.

I remember specifically setting the profile at 16+ at some point in the past -- nothing of my content is age sensitive, but I don't have kids, none of my friends have kids, so I am personally ill prepared to say "this is appropriate" vs. "this is not."

I found no documentation from Meta, Facebook, Instagram, or any forum discussing this setting's shift of profile visibility.

None.

There is no language surrounding the front end, or back end, "This profile has been age-restricted."

None.

My account was never flagged for content. There IS a backend tool that says, "is my account flagged?" and it gave me the green light, "Not flagged!" and I kept hollering, "THEN WHY ISN'T IT SHOWING UP."

The language on the previously hidden, now visible, Netherworld Post instagram was the exact same when a profile is deleted, when a profile is blocked, and apparently when a user self selects age restriction thinking they are doing something handy for parents (be it a good idea or not).

Instagram and Meta do not have a help desk with live support, they do not offer email support -- except, between this starting to yesterday, they are now offering a $14.99/month premium service which has a help desk.

I tried various logging in, logging out, changing profile types, etc. in hoping that I would be clearing a cache on instagram's system.

Because. I repeat. There is either zero documentation as to what was happening. Or, there is, but it is so buried as to be unfindable, which is objectively the same thing from a user's perspective.

Facebook flagged me several times, "we think you are a bot trying to sign in" and sent various automated security protocols to verify. Which I did, and passed, not being a hacker, but instead being an increasingly frustrated system admin to a tiny company.

At one point text messages stopped coming in, which was another problem, now fixed.

This last point being why I have repeatedly said, "Get 2 factor authentication, specifically using an app or other device, not a text-message."

What this means:

Your password is 1 factor, an authorization code (via app or other method) is another. It says, "It's me, I have a second key!"

When you rely on text messages, you are relying on THEM to send YOU this second key to verify. When you use an app or other method, YOU generate the key.

This removes a potential hiccup in the "are you a hacker?" "i am not a hacker" stage.

My life and career began to shift in 2012 when I started focusing business on monsters, ghosts, stories, stationery, rambles, etc. away from web design and programming, then graphic design, then (vague gesture as my company did a lot).

This entire experience felt like I was going mad. I spent YEARS helping clients AVOID THIS SITUATION.

You get the picture.

Netherworld Post is on Instagram

I feel like email lists are safer + I like emails

One of the first products to launch in the store this autumn will be "How about a monthly zine of Netherworld Post news. Super, super cheap. Help keep the lights on, help keep up to date without being at the mercy of tech billionaires."

One of the blog posts that I'm working on between now and launch is how I built said zine. I'm running efficiency tests to make it as high quality, low cost, and fast-to-send as possible. The point being, "Run a small shop or blog or whatever? Here's a way you and your audience can keep in touch without algorithms and tech woes."

This is a lot of words.

It's been a mini-therapy session.

I'm hoping it helps someone somewhere with a similar issue.

Are you familiar with the term ‘shadowbanned’? If not, let us enlighten you. Chances are if you are reading this article, you are already familiar with Instagram, which is one of the most popular social media platforms worldwide, boasting over one billion active users. However, with the algorithm constantly changing, it can be challenging to get noticed, and it may seem like some of your posts…

Source: How to Fix Sorry Something Went Wrong Instagram Error

Instagram is one of the best platforms to share your opinion and to be updated with the latest trends and with society. You can follow anyone you want no matter the other one do the same or not. It has many times surpassed the addiction of Facebook among users. Many users have encountered an error message while trying to using Instagram on their devices- Sorry, something went wrong. The error message can appear due to certain reasons, but these causes can differ as per the situations. If you are also facing the same error on your Instagram, then you have landed on the right website because, in this article, we are going to explain just that.

 Troubleshooting the Sorry Something went wrong Instagram Error

Method 1: Wait for a While

The server of Instagram can sometimes face some issues and that why you may also be unable to access the site temporary. If the error is showing up due to the server’s problem, then you can’t do anything despite waiting. To confirm if it is really a server related issue, you can ask from your friend if he is facing the same. If others also note the issue, then the issue is certainly related to the server. All you have to do is just wait until the error disappears automatically.

Method 2: Login via Facebook

First and foremost, make sure to access Instagram with the help of your Facebook. Obviously, your accounts must be paired with each other in order to use this method. The connection between your Facebook and Instagram is pretty helpful because you can then login simply via Facebook into your Instagram account. In case you encounter the “Sorry something went wrong” still on your device then make sure to keep on reading the next methods.

Method 3: Connect Facebook via Windows 10 App

Now if you have failed till now in resolving the “Sorry something went wrong” message then, think about your Windows 10 Instagram app. Yes, that app has a perfect solution for the issue and even if you don’t have the app downloaded on your computer, then head to Microsoft Store and download it. Once the app is downloaded, make sure to launch it and then enter into your Instagram account with your account credentials. Read your Direct Messages and reply to the users. Then head to Settings and then find the Friends on Facebook. After that, connect your Facebook profile to Instagram and then wait for a while. Your error message is almost resolved, and once you have waited enough, you would be able to log into mobile Instagram too. This method works for most of the user who was also facing the same error.  

Method 4: Deactivate Your Account Temporary

Get back to your laptop or desktop and then access an internet browser and head to Instragram.com.

Now Log in with your credentials.

head to Settings

Look for the option saying “Temporarily Disable My Account.”

Hit on it and then don’t worry, nothing is gonna happen terrible with your account.

Then, go to Login Issues (You are stating this reason for leaving Instagram).

Now make sure to agree with conditions and then block your account.

Next, close all tabs and shut down the computer.

Forget about Instagram for the next 3 hours (I know, it’s hard, but there is no other way).

After that, on your mobile app, log in to your account and you would be able to access the account without the Sorry something went wrong Instagram error.
