Why aren't my Instagram hashtags not working?

[Justin]

This has been a recent problem. The last few pics I've uploaded, just have non-working hashtags. When I say non-working, I mean that they're just not linking. They highlight blue, but when I select the tag, my pic doesn't show in the feed.

Anyone else have this problem, and is there anyway I can fix this? I've tried emailing Instagram, but they haven't gotten back to me. I've also logged out and back in. I've even uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but to no avail. What's also weird is that even when I add hashtags through the website, and other sites like Follogram, the same problem still happens. I'm getting no likes. It's as if they're ghost pics. It's really annoying.
