thanks a lot for the interest.

As I mentioned in the main post we had an Instagram that over the years we build up to 37,000 followers, with more than 200 post (all unique content from us). The handle was: @mammothhunters

Then we committed the mistake of using a service to check who was more influential among our users (this can be done manually, so no private info breached) that flagged us as a bot.

Instagram first blocked our account.

There's been no way to get in touch with them to recover the account.

Finally we got a "tip" from an insider that the account was permanently deleted (we never got this message through the official channels).

So we've lost 3 years of work.

We started a new account 1 week ago (@mammoth.hunters) we've managed to recover 2,500 followers but we are far far far from where we were.

The worse is that this was not only a show off channel. It was the main driver for one of our products that brings over 100k a year in revenues.

Anybody has a tip on how to recover the old account?

Thanks a lot!
