Recent algorithm changes have been throwing me off completely. Some of my posts get decent reach, but others basically vanish into the void—zero visibility. Meanwhile, other creators I follow are posting similar content and getting solid engagement numbers.

Has anyone figured out what's really driving these algorithmic fluctuations? Are there specific posting patterns or content types that perform better? Would be helpful to understand the pattern here, because right now it feels like posting success is pretty random.

Algorithms are just a black box, relying entirely on luck. --- Me too. Sometimes it skyrockets, sometimes it sinks to the bottom. I really can't understand the logic. --- The platform just wants you to spend money, no other tricks. --- Post time, topic tags, interaction speed—all can influence it. But who knows how much weight each factor has? --- It also seems related to your account's authority. New accounts are more likely to sink. --- Don't overthink it. What can't be changed is unchangeable. Just keep posting. --- The problem might not be with the content but with the fact that you're not paying for promotion. --- Someone tested it out: interactions in the first two hours are the most critical; after that, it basically gets set.

Algorithms are just black boxes; no one can fully understand them. It's really just about the platform's mood, honestly. Post timing, interaction speed, account weight—all are factors, but no one can master them completely. The randomness is indeed significant, and my experience is that it can be hit or miss. Instead of obsessing over the algorithm, it's better to focus on the quality of the content itself.

Algorithms are just mysticism; no one truly understands them. It's a gambler's mentality, posting is like opening blind boxes. Have you ever thought that it might not be a content issue, but the platform's mood is just bad?

Algorithms are like mysticism; I can't quite understand them. Sometimes, just posting randomly ends up going viral.

Algorithms are just a black box; no one can say for sure. But I found that posts made between 8-9 AM are indeed more likely to break through the circle than those in the evening. Maybe give it a try?
