Anyone else feel like social media visibility is just… off?
I’ve been trying to share things I’m building / thinking about, and something feels broken.
Not in a “I’m not getting likes” way
more like my posts just aren’t reaching the right people.
On LinkedIn, it mostly goes to my existing network — even if they’re not relevant.
On Reddit, it depends on which sub I pick and timing.
On X, it’s heavily tied to engagement and momentum.
So even when something I post is actually useful to a specific group,
it either:
- gets ignored
- or lands in front of people who don’t care
That’s the frustrating part.
It’s just not about visibility being low,
it’s also about visibility being misaligned.
If I’m sharing something I built, I don’t want random people scrolling past it.
I want it in front of people who’d actually try it, or give real feedback.
Feels like social platforms decide what’s “good” globally,
instead of figuring out who it’s actually good for.
Curious if others have felt this.
(ps: been exploring this space also building a platform which fixes these pain points — dm if you want to try it, keeping it to early users for now)
