Instagram has stricter anti-spam than most platforms, but there are legitimate uses for repeated text — emoji captions, story emphasis, and birthday comments on a friend's post.
The main legitimate uses:

Instagram is aggressive about detecting comment spam. They'll throttle or hide comments that:
Even legitimate birthday walls can get auto-hidden if you spam them across 20 different friends' posts in a row.
Use repetition sparingly and personally. A single 🎉×30 comment on your best friend's birthday post = fine. The same comment on 30 different posts in 10 minutes = shadowban.
Generate with our emoji repeater, copy, and paste into Instagram. Use "Wall (no gap)" format for the densest visual.
Possibly. Instagram's spam filter sometimes hides emoji-only comments, especially from accounts without much engagement history. Mix emojis with text to avoid this.
Yes. The shadowban hides your content from non-followers. It usually lifts after 1-2 weeks if you stop the flagged behavior.

Instagram captions allow up to 2,200 characters and the bio allows 150, so there is room to repeat a short phrase or emoji. Generate it in the repeater, watch the live character counter to stay under the limit, and paste. Remember that only the first ~125 characters of a caption show before the "more" link.
Instagram doesn't offer font styling, but the Bold, Italic, and Fraktur styles here use Unicode characters that keep their look when pasted into a bio or caption. To force spacing that Instagram would normally collapse, the Invisible style (a Braille-blank character) creates blank lines — see the invisible text guide.
Many emoji are two or more code units, so an emoji wall reaches the caption limit faster than the same number of letters. Keep an eye on the counter when you are close to 2,200.
