Community Groups

This group offers guidance and shared experiences only.

We can’t recover accounts, submit appeals, or contact Instagram for you.

Always use Instagram’s official recovery and appeal tools.

Welcome to the Closer Lives Instagram Disabled Accounts Support & Tips Group, a safe space for anyone dealing with account deactivation, restriction, or recovery challenges.

Share your experience, ask questions, and learn from others who’ve gone through the same process. This group focuses on real stories, verified information, and supportive discussion; not shortcuts, guarantees, or fake “fixes.”

Important to know: Closer Lives is not affiliated with Meta or Instagram, and we cannot recover accounts, submit appeals, or contact Instagram on anyone’s behalf. All recovery must be done through Instagram’s official channels.

Please don’t share links to apps, services, or accounts claiming to restore or unlock Instagram profiles. These are not official and can lead to further account loss or penalties.

Together, let’s help each other stay informed, avoid scams, and take the right steps using safe, legitimate recovery options.

When Instagram disables an account, the reason shown in the app or email often matters more than it seems.

Read the notice slowly and look for specific wording (impersonation, automation, community standards, copyright). That wording should guide which appeal form you submit and how you explain your case. Generic explanations can slow things down.

Question: What reason did Instagram give for your account being disabled, and was it clear or confusing? Share below so others know what to watch for.

Welcome to the Closer Lives Poetry Collective, a creative space for poets, writers, and dreamers to share words that move us.

This group celebrates poetry that explores love, travel, connection, and alternative living. The same spirit that sparked our own story.

Share your work, join discussions, and connect with others who see the world through rhythm, reflection, and emotion. Whether you write daily or simply love to read poetry, you belong here.

After a long pause, we’ve started publishing poetry again on Closer Lives. Not rushed. Not filtered. Just honest words, shared when they’re ready.

I have just published a new poem, Carving a Canyon, written shortly after we met, a piece about how love can arrive quietly and still change everything.

Going forward, both Jenn and I will be sharing poetry on the site. Old pieces, new work, reflections, and creative writing that’s grown alongside our lives.

This space exists for that kind of writing.

If you’re a poet, writer, or creative who values truth over polish, you’re welcome here. We’re also open to guest poetry submissions, and we’d love this group to become a place to share work, thoughts, and conversations around the craft.

No pressure. No algorithms. Just poetry, when it’s ready.

Many people never get a clear explanation for why their Instagram account was disabled.

That’s frustrating, but it’s also common.

If you had to guess, what do you think might have triggered it?

Some common patterns we see include:

• Sudden follower growth or activity spikes

• Using third-party apps or schedulers
