What do I do?

Hi everyone! I’m a 16yo pop musician/performer/producer on Instagram and I have 6930 ish follower for AGES now literal months. It’s so painful to keep going with school being tuff, every post has the few same people commenting and about 80-120 likes. If I promote on Instagram I see really slight improvements. It’s so painful cause I see all these other kids I know since 6 years on Instagram who have way more followers than me and 320 comments plus per post. I great in 1-2 years to 6k back then and now it’s about 120 followers a month and 120 unfollows. What do I do? Anything motivational?.. it’s just so painful to see all my hard work flushed away.

I need help taking down an old cringey Instagram account I no longer have access to.

What the title says. I can't login at all. I'll dm you the info, because mass reporting it seems to be the only way I can think of to get this shit taken down. I hate that this account exists. Anyway if you could do that I'd very much appreciate it. Thanks.

Why it is so hard to start a new social media channel from zero to one?!

Our discord channel is now developing from zero to one and we don't know what our niche users want. And people invited to our server just argue that we used the spam bot. And I, as the admin of the server, am so tired of figuring out what our users want since our server is super small during this period and our product is still in the development phase. Really need help with this!

I’m almost done creating my own platform. AMA

It’ll focus on the best elements of Facebook and Twitter, minus the BS no one signed up for.

I’m mostly interested in finding out which of these companies would sue me out of existence first. Twitter most likely.

How do I find my niche?

I really want to start content creation, I used to own a meme page with 50k followers but I got bored and deleted that I don't know why I did that. I wanna start again but I don't know what topics should I pick. What kind of page should I open. What is one niche that will grow without any problem if I start now.

For now, I'm creating meme related content for a known dating app in India. And then it hit me, I'm making this content for these people and it's okay what they're paying me but what if I create something that'll benefit me in the long run.

Please help!!

Things I like the most : humour, memes, adventure (I'm a paragliding pilot), space stuff, technology, cars and many other things.

Seeking feedback on an idea to facilitate connections and discover people to connect with

I'm part of a community with around 2000 members in a Slack group. Yet I'm only connected on X and LinkedIn with a handful. Let alone on the less meaningful socials (like Bsky for now -- which seems to be trending a lot lately)

In an attempt to solve this, to make it easier to facilitate those connections, I built a prototype of a service that allows people to list themselves, where being part of a list means they're (most likely at least!) willing to connect with each other on X and LinkedIn. How it works: Join a list, list yourself, check through the list and connect/follow with rest of the people on that list.

Would love feedback on the general idea - do you think something like this would be useful? Should I pursue it further & is there anything that would either prevent you from using such a service, or anything that would make you jump out of your seat to use one?

Followers

Just wondering about followers not specifically here on Reddit but generally on social media platforms. I used X but never posted but over time people followed me and I don’t know why. I would follow an expert or friend or journalist or someone that made an informed and interesting post. On X with a dormant handle I am gaining followers every day now 😳. Signing up on one site without posting or even completing my profile I had new followers within the first few hours. Why are people following random people when there are so many interesting posters around - are they hoping for a follow back to build up their reach?

Is inbeat a legitimate platform?

I’ve been running my account for a month now and it’s grown at a fast rate I currently have 10-15 reels that have gone viral with about 50 million profile views this month I occasionally check my inbeat fake follower score and it’s always been 10/10 exceptional score but today I checked after a week and it’s dropped to 4.2 “fair” rating and I have a feeling it’s because I’ve hidden likes on post for the last few posts I’ve done. I had no reason to do it just felt like it and now my score has dropped. It says I have 11k inactive followers and 9 active when the last 3 weeks it’s been 100% real followers. Does anyone know if this platform is legit and if there’s a correlation with me hiding likes

I Just Started A Instagram Themepage!!!!

Hi everyone,

I’m a creator on TikTok with 275k and 12k followers. I just started a Instagram themepage unrelated to my TikTok content. If anyone can answer some of my questions i would really appreciate it! ;)

How many times a day can I post? (It’s easily created content so i’d be able to post 5x a day) How many hashtags do I use under every post? Is Instagram able to provide organic growth like TikTok does? (Can i get good views without having many followers?)

Thankyou in advance!

Is it feasible to manage international accounts for book promotion?

Good afternoon, how are you?

I’m a writer, and thanks to Artificial Intelligence, I’ve been able to translate my books into multiple languages. I have friends in several countries, and I’m eager to ask them for a favor: to create email and TikTok accounts for me in their countries so I can manage them through the app on my phone.

My plan is to reach different audiences with the same message to sell more books on Amazon. Specifically, my question is: Is this feasible?

Thank you in advance for your advice!

Spare a thought for all the Australian kids tonight who...

who are about to be cut off from their social networks, kids in hospitals getting cancer treatments, kids with small businesses, selling their products to make some pocket money, kids in regional Australia who rely on social networks to not feel isolated, kids growing up on farms who are isolated and want to keep in touch with their school friends over school holidays, kids who are in boarding school who use social media to stay in touch with their siblings and family through tiktok, face-time, snap-chat and the big one kids who are all across Australia tonight growing up under domestic violence, sexual assault and oppression, yes they exist and are common and social media was their only escape from their living hell of abuse and oppression. To all those kids , I am sorry. I am sorry adults are so dumb, I am sorry our Government is making things hard for you, but know this, there are good adults out there fighting to have this stupendous policy torn to pieces and that this is only temporary, hang in kids, hang in, we academics are out here fighting for you and need you to hang in there

Built a tool for macOS... use AI to automate file tasks (images/videos, etc)

I manage a few social media accounts and found working with files like images/videos to be a pain.

So wanted to share a tool I built - you select your files and describe what you want in plain english (resize this, convert to this format, crop/watermark, etc). It runs locally so it's fast and no uploading.

I just uploaded a few quick demos here: https://www.reddit.com/r/frankenfile/

Download it here: https://frankenfile.com

Would love to get feedback on whether something like this is useful.

YouTube Channel Crashing

So I run a railroad photography and video across Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

@Ghosttrainsnorcalproductions

My Facebook and Instagram accounts are doing reasonably well, but my YouTube channel has just tanked in the last year or so. I've tried different things to revive it, but nothing seems to be working.

Should I try one last time to revive it, or would my time be better suited to just concentrating on what's working? (FB, IG)

Curious to your thoughts!

My Facebook page is scheduled to be removed due to trademark rights....help!!!

I bought the domain for my business. Then I started a Facebook page, while neglecting to make sure that anyone else on Facebook was currently using that business name. As it turns out, there us already someone using that name. So, I tweaked my name on Facebook slightly, so it's not the same name. The other business is operating in a different country. I just paid someone to redesign the logo with the new name and new Facebook, Instagram names.

I got a message this morning form Facebook, saying that my page is scheduled to be removed due to trademark infringement.

I don't know if this is due to a complaint made against the old (identical) name, or whether the new (similar) name is still too similar.

I tried to access facebook's rules on the subject, but they're not very specific.

How dramatically do I have to change my business name to comply with Facebook rules?

Also: I forgot my Facebook password and am having trouble trying to reset my password. I'm logged in to my account already, but Facebook keeps asking for my old password in order to reset to a new password. I don't remember my old password.

Hmmmm.

As an additional tidbit, the link Facebook sent me is now being labeled as dangerous possibly someone trying to steal my information.

Any help would be appreciated.

Engagement platform

Hi everyone - you must have bumped into those engagement platforms that are pushing advertisement. It states that you will have better engagement, it will forward your post to real people and not AI just wondering if anybody has tried this or had any experience at all with this platform or any other platform that’s similar

I started social media about 2 months ago and have had great growth

So I’ve posted every single day for 2 months and started going live everyday over this past week and have grown a ton from it, I post fitness related content and go live doing the same. I seem to be attracting a large gay audience and many say inappropriate things on my live and comment,is this normal?? How can I start being shown to other audiences, I feel as though these people are only following me for how I look not the actual content. Can this affect my growth? for reference I have 5k followers. Has anyone had a similar experience

How do you brainstorm before putting together a social media planner?

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m curious how do you approach the brainstorming process before actually building out your social media planner?

Do you start by throwing ideas on a whiteboard, doing a deep dive into trends, or maybe just looking at last month’s analytics? Do you brainstorm solo, or do you prefer working with a team?

I always feel like this phase is so important but also where I get stuck the most. It’s like I have ideas, but turning them into something actionable feels overwhelming.
Any tips or processes that work for you?

Would love to hear how you kick off your planning process!

Suggestions for an app to auto upload stories/videos to multiple platforms at once?

Hey everyone, I don't post on social media much so I don't really know anything about this field. My wife's work, small business, is looking for an app to help upload videos to their social medias throughout the week. I know they tried using META, but had issues with it. They usually make a weeks worth of videos in a day, and then want to upload them to facebook, instagram, maybe tiktok, but they cant always do it manually when they get busy. Looking for something free or low cost if possible. Thank you!

IG copyrights video clips doubt

Suppose I start an IG page on sports. I then find an interview of a sports personality on some news channel. I do like some part of it.

Can I then share that clip on my post, with proper attributing? I see a lot of popular pages doing the same.

Could there be copyrights issue later?

From Twttr to X: Why I finally Deleted my 18 Year-Old Twitter account

I recently deleted my X (formerly Twitter) account, which I’ve had since around when it launched, late 2006. Back then, the platform was a simple space for friends and coworkers to share random updates. It was a novel experience; we had no idea what it would evolve into. I remember having text limits on my phone and sending Tweets updates to the 40404 shortcode, which was the reason behind the original 140-character limit. Now I guess you can buy more characters? I recall when hashtags were first introduced in 2007, revolutionizing how we group conversations on social media.

In 2010, at the height of its success, Twitter launched a new homepage, marking a significant shift in its design and user interface. The platform began reshaping how we consume news and information, Twitter was the go-to for journalists, sometimes outpacing traditional journalism. Twitter disrupted an entire industry.

However, there was a turning point when negative news about Twitter started to surface. The company began facing pressure from investors to turn a profit, shifting its focus from user experience and growth, to advertising revenue. This requirement altered the platform’s model of success, eventually deteriorating and making it ripe for acquisition. Elon’s eventual tumultuous takeover, highlighted how primed the platform was for significant change, and not necessarily for the better.

Today, Twitter has strayed far from its original purpose. It was once a unique platform for communicating and consuming information within groups, communities, and from respected individuals. Now, the increase in toxicity, bots, and the politicization of what was once a great platform has made it a less welcoming and often just a gross and dark representation of the internet.

Despite the feeling of leaving behind the few remaining vibrant individuals and communities, deleting my account was an easy decision, and I have absolutely no regrets.

I hope that platforms like Bluesky and others will remember and learn from Twitter's past successes and failures. However, I fear that as long as advertising revenue drives a platform's success, they may inevitably succumb to a similar fate.

For now, all I can say is, the sky is looking very blue #fingerscrossed

Are there any other OG accounts that remember the good old days? Are you also jumping ship?

Managing 30 Facebook Pages: What’s the Best Social Inbox Tool for Voice Messaging?

Hey everyone! I’m currently managing around 30 Facebook pages, and I’m on the hunt for the perfect management tool. I’ve tried most of the big names out there, and while content posting and scheduling seem to be covered pretty well across the board, social inbox management is where I’m struggling.

Here’s what I absolutely need:

  1. The ability to listen to and send voice messages via private messages.
  2. Real-time inbox sync and notifications for incoming messages.
  3. Support for sending more than one image at a time in messages (seriously, why is this still a limitation?).

I’ve tried Socialchamp, which lets you send voice messages, but their real-time inbox sync and notifications are not user-friendly. SocialBu has great notifications and sync speed, but you can only listen to voice messages, not send them.

I’m stuck, and I know some of you must have gone through this too! Does anyone know of a tool that checks all the boxes or at least comes close? Would love to hear your recommendations or hacks to work around these limitations.

Thanks in advance! 😊
