You may see more posts under a hashtag directly on Instagram or X (Twitter) than in your Juicer feed. The difference is expected and comes from limits in each social network's API.
What Juicer cannot fetch
Juicer can't import a hashtagged post when:
The author's account has any privacy restriction (private or limited visibility).
The post hasn't been indexed by the social network under that hashtag yet.
The social network blocks API access to the post for reasons outside our control.
What to expect
Differences between the social network and your Juicer feed are normal, especially during hashtag events.
When you first add a hashtag source, Juicer only imports one "page" of recent posts. It cannot pull older hashtag posts from before you created the feed, due to social network limitations. Learn more about initial imports.
Tips to improve coverage
Ask participants to post from public accounts.
Give the network time to index new hashtag posts.
Combine sources — accounts, mentions, and RSS — alongside hashtags for more complete coverage.
If a specific public post should appear in your feed but doesn't, send us the post URL along with the feed name and the hashtag you're tracking through contact us, and we'll trace what the API returned for that post.
