Throughout the past three weeks, I have experienced a significant INCREASE going from an average of 13.000 likes per post to +20.000 likes per post, and my impressions are skyrocketing. Some of my posts are getting more than a million impressions. But, I have grown my account organically from the very beginning (no engagement groups, no automation, just posting content), so that might be the reason. I guess the engagement drop only hits black hat accounts doing automation. No surprise there – it has been expected.

Instagram is not that stupid, and they have the technology to detect automation. And now, they even target the elimination of these methods through their business objectives, so it will only get worse. My advice? If you want to be in the Instagram game in the long run, begin focusing on growing organically!

How exactly do you grow organically from 0 followers by just posting content? Do you do f/u by hand and just hashtags?

No, I never used f/u. 3 times a day, I post high quality photos with swipe-function to create a gallery showing content from the same scene in the same post. I use a mix of popular and less popular hashtags to maximise exposure and virality. I write captions that are somewhat detailed and actually adds value instead of just throwing random CTAs. It is all about making your followers spend more time looking at or reading your posts. It takes more time to prepare a post, but so far it has paid off with an account of a million followers.

How long did it take for you to get your first 10k? And is it bad if I only post once a day?

You can put to rest the account for 72h. Just don't do any action (including posting) and after that you can resume.

There was an update a couple of days ago.

It's normal to experience engagement dips when an app update is released. could be days or a couple of weeks for things to settle back into motion again.
