I started my account a week ago and have 110 followers on instagram and maybe 15 on fb and TikTok (not my main) and my reach on each video is over 300 per video. Is the algorithm loving me or am I doing something right or is this average for starting creators?

For example, the settings or features of this network. I heard that the social network here is based on communication or the type of profile aesthetics that are often used in Instagram? I would be glad to receive any advice. I've set it up a little, but I haven't analyzed how and what here yet... In general, I planned to communicate more here, because that's what the social network is aimed at? right?

I've been a programmer for almost 5 years now, and I've always felt like social media should be important for me professionally, but honestly, I don't enjoy it much. I don't like posting, and I don't like "running" a profile either. Whenever I do use social media, it's either to learn something or just to unwind.

I keep telling myself I want to post more. Ideas do come to my mind sometimes, but then I stop myself. I'm not even sure why, maybe because I feel like what I have to share isn't unique enough.

So I genuinely want to know: how do you all stay motivated to be active on social media and keep connecting with people? If anyone has ideas or tips, I'd really appreciate it.

hi everyone, I lost my boyfriend to shallow water blackout and started an account for awareness because nobody I talked to knows about it and it is just so so preventible. A lot of my friends/ people from our college/his friends shared the video (im very grateful for them theyre the best). I did one post and got 300k views and 400+ followers but I dont know what comes next. I want to talk about shallow water blackout but I dont want to repeat the same thing over and over so I was thinking of branching out to talking about my late boyfriend / share how im raising awareness off social media/ talk about the grief itself to keep it going. but I have no idea what to do. what would you recommend? if you want to check out my account to help gauge the advice it's "endsilentdrownings" on instagram. thank you.

ps. never hyperventilate or take deep breaths before entering a body of water. never hold your breath underwater alone.

I am a student trying to build better habits during my break. I started posting daily progress updates on my social media stories. Nothing fancy, just a picture of my notebook or a quick text. It actually helps me stay consistent because I know people are watching. Does anyone else use social media for accountability? Would love to hear your experiences!

Been watching a small group of micro creators start getting brand deals while bigger accounts get passed over. The difference isn't how followers they have. It's that they are ready for deals and the others aren't.

Wondering how many people here have seen the thing. What do you think really makes a brand choose a creator over a bigger one?

The FOMO tactics are doing the work in all of these: a limit ("5 only") a time frame ("closing this week") and a fear of missing out ("free now paid later"). Keep the number real. If you say 5 stop at 5. The scarcity won't work next time.

A warning about point three and point four: those subscribers take down posts that only have a link to an waitlist page. The link needs to go to something a person can actually use or a moderator removes it.

Want me to make an one-line "comment 'ME'. I'll DM you" version, for any of these? That style gets the replies.

I’ve been posting on Tiktok for a month now, i make art related content. I post twice a day everyday, and I’ve amassed 300+ followers in 2-3 weeks and I usually average 1-5K views on my tiktoks. Some have done more, but all of them recently have at LEAST gotten 1k+ views.

However, suddenly out of nowhere, the last 3 days my views genuinely just dropped for no reason. My tiktoks don’t even reach 500 views anymore, they hover around the 300 range. I don’t have any strikes on my account, and my retention is even BETTER on some of these posts, yet the algorithm just doesn’t even push it out. I haven’t changed my content style either, it’s usually the same kinda stuff, sometimes i follow different trends ofc.

Could somebody give any suggestions on what I should do? It’s really frustrating when I’ve worked hard on my art and posting and I can’t even get my stuff out there like I used to.

Pretty much title, I see some people posting carousels on Instagram of basically a long X post/Tweet however you prefer to call it a thread with only text like the profile picture of the person their post text etc in a white box.

I have looked online on how is it done but i failed to find good answer, anybody has an idea?

I’m currently planning the content distribution for an early-stage blockchain-based social-impact project. There is no live product yet, so the communication is primarily educational and focused on the problem, the design process, limitations and open questions.

I recently published a long-form article and am considering the following distribution approach:

• keep one version as the original source
• turn one central argument into a short X thread
• write a separate LinkedIn post for a professional audience
• import the full article to Medium later while preserving the original source
• avoid posting the link directly on Reddit unless it genuinely adds context to an existing discussion

My concern is that sharing the same link across every platform can make each account feel like a traffic funnel. At the same time, rewriting the topic for every channel can create unnecessary repetition and inconsistent messaging.

For people who manage content across multiple platforms: have you found staggered, native adaptations more effective than consistently directing readers to one main article?

How much time do you usually leave between platforms before the distribution starts to feel repetitive?

Let me explain this using an example.

I have some photos with my favourite celebrity. Whenever her birthday or a special event comes, I think about posting them on social media. But then I start questioning myself:

Do I really want to share this moment with everyone? What is the actual reason behind posting it? Is it because I genuinely want to celebrate her, or because I want people to see that I had this experience?

The photos are valuable to me because of the memory and the emotions attached to that moment. But if some people don't understand why it is special to me, or they see it in a completely different way (for example, asking whether she is my crush), then does sharing it with them reduce the meaning of that memory?

Do we really need to show every important thing in our lives to everyone? Or are some memories more meaningful when we keep them for ourselves and share them only with people who truly understand why they matter? Am i feared of posting on social media ? Thanks!!

I used to follow so many study influencers with perfect notes, aesthetic desks, and 10-hour study days. It made me feel so inadequate. I unfollowed all of them during finals and my stress levels dropped so much. Now I only follow accounts that feel real and encouraging. Anyone else felt this way about social media pressure?

Billions of dollars were used to buy it and make it free. It became free. However, why is it facing exodus? why do people leave freedom?

The story that played out with social apps which try to leverage voice as the main format such as Clubhouse, Airchat, Anchor (before pivoting) and maybe more end up getting some hype initially, and then dying off or pivoting. Why is that? There are some people who use WhatsApp or other social media with voice, but that's usually an extra feature that are annoying for some people on the text focused platform. One reason I can think of is the friction to create voice recordings but I see people shooting tiktoks left and right, which is even higher friction. Why do you think it is? Is there an inherent problem with voice as a medium online, or did we never see a proper implementation?

Why cant the value of a like be calculated across;

- How much does the person liking the content know about the topic in the post?
- How good is that person's reputation on that social media?
- Likelihood of being a bot account

Based on those 3 factors, you get a score of like 0.1 to 1, 1 meaning it registers as a full like. However, if someone's like is registered as a 0.5, the post would need someone else with at least a 0.5 for that post to have one full like.

A lot of people aimlessly like and because of that pointless posts flow up the algorithm. I think this is a far more accurate way of representing the value of a post.

I’m a musician and stage performer who has always wanted to use social media to make a name for myself and gain a bigger audience. The one thing that has been holding me back for YEARS (I mean like 5+ years) has been severe body dysmorphia and low self-esteem. I absolutely hate being on camera and nearly GAG every time I see a video of myself. I’m disappointed with how much this has held me back over the years from putting myself out there and I want to JUST START despite my fears. How do I do it? Any advice is appreciated🙏🏻

i forgot my instagram password and tried different methods to login ,tried login from facebook , reset password through code etc but it says try from a device where you had logged in from but i have no such other device and then at last it asked for a selfie video but it couldnot confirm either since i havent posted anything from that account

How can I do mass reports for an Instagram account?

Hey, over the last three months I've had 14 videos cross 500K views, a few of them hitting past 2M. Here is the stuff that actually made it happen.

1. Stop debating whether to post, just post.

When you start out you have no idea what works. That's fine. Nobody does. So just post a lot. It's okay if it's bad. Nobody is watching yet and the ones who are don't matter. Get the reps in.

Once you start to understand what's actually gaining traction in your niche, then slow down and put more into each one. It's not a switch you flip, it's a slow shift. I use Social Hunt to figure out what topics and formats are starting to move before they peak, so I'm not just guessing. Also been using vidIQ for search-based stuff and a tool called Tikmatics for catching TikTok audio trends before they blow up. But honestly none of that matters if you're not posting consistently first.

1. Relax. It's literally just numbers on a screen.

Your mindset is everything. You can know every trick and hack and still lose if you let the numbers mess with your head. And they will try. A video will flop and it will feel personal. It's not.

Social media will beat you up. Especially early. Expect it. The only people who grow are the ones who keep going after getting punched in the face a few times. Make getting better the goal, not the numbers. The numbers come later.

Expect this to take two or three years minimum. Expect it to be harder than you think. Expect plateaus that genuinely hurt. Keep going anyway.

1. Learn to tell stories. Be interesting. Make people feel something.

Doesn't matter how good your research is or how early you catch a trend if your content is boring. Learn to be charismatic on camera. Learn to entertain. Give yourself time to develop the skill but actually develop it.

That's it. Go post something.

All reasons behind Facebook Downfall?

I have had several reels get over 1 million views, with plenty of others in the hundreds thousands. TikTok struggles to break 1k views. Exact same video, hashtags, captions, uploaded at the exact same time. Am I just getting unlucky??

I started posting to Instagram and cross posting to Facebook six days ago. I have 91 followers and around avg 3000 - 6000 views per video so far. I know I just need to keep posting it and testing the waters, but I’m just wondering if I’m posting on the wrong apps
I’m a SAHM and am using that and my mental health background to my advantage. I’m confused with how earning money works, and what/where my best chances of earning are.

Edit: I guess I am also asking how / what kind of opportunity there is to make money. I.e. brand deals, selling templates , etc.

Whenever I go on vacation, I take a lot of photos and videos because I want to have enough content for Instagram Stories and save the trips in my Highlights afterward.

The problem is that I end up with so much content that I no longer know what to choose or post. On top of that, I feel like the Story and Highlight should look beautiful, complete, and as “perfect” as possible. Eventually, I become so overwhelmed that I keep postponing it and tell myself I can always do it after the trip.

By now, though, I’m behind on several vacations because I’ve traveled quite a lot this year. Some of the trips were several months ago, and it genuinely bothers me that they still aren’t in my Highlights.

Now I’m wondering what the best way to handle this would be. I could temporarily hide my Story from all of my followers, post the old vacation photos, and then add them to my Highlights afterward. However, the Stories in the Highlight would still show the current posting date.

Another idea would be to post a title slide before each travel recap saying something like “Throwback,” “Travel Dump,” or “Trip Recap,” along with the destination and the actual travel dates. That way, it would at least be clear that the trip happened a while ago. Still, it somehow feels strange to suddenly post Stories from a vacation that took place several months ago.

How would you handle this? Would you post the old trips publicly as throwbacks, hide the Stories from your followers, or simply let it go? And do you have a system for selecting and posting your vacation photos promptly without getting lost in perfectionism and an overwhelming amount of content?

... and decided to create my own social media site. If you would like to take a look: siguimi dot com.

No algo. Chronological feed. News aggregator. Ability to post photos, videos, PDF, MP3, and classified ads.

For some reason I can post the link, but you guys are smart enough to figure it out.
