Does Instagram just make your account/content visible certain times of day?
I created a new account last week- I've never really bothered trying to gather a following or so on. But, my hobby is big enough where I finally made a page for it just in case I get around to turning it into a business.
I've posted a few reels and some photos. I'm at 15 posts and 162 followers. Not great, but I've never tried to really increase followers before.
I've noticed an odd thing where my new follows don't seem to correspond with when I post. I tend to get most of my follows between 11 pm and 2 am EST. It's something like 20 follows in that window and maybe 2 the other 20ish hours of the day.
No friends or family- I will try to follow like 5 new relevant accounts- but usually these are accounts that have more followers that don't usually follow me back.
Generally my posts go up around 6 pm when I get a few minutes after work.
