Is anyone getting good reach but less followers on Instagram ?

I have noticed something similar lately Views are still coming but converting viewers into followers seems harder than it used to be

This is normal not sure why maybe people are just getting bored form instagram also.

Some of my reels are getting decent reach and views but the number of new followers coming from the reach is very lower. A video performs well, get likes and shares but no new followers.

Previously, a reel with similar performance would result in the increase of new followers.

Has anyone else noticed this recently ? What do you think causing it ?

yes i have faced same thing. it happens due to sharing the content to friends but they do not follow us.

Quality content can sometimes generate strong engagement and reach a wider audience even from an account with a relatively small following.

That means that the content you are posting in not engaging enough for the user to actually follow your page. That is what it simply indicates. In that case, you are going to provide a strong incentive to actually get the user to follow.

There's a step between the reel and the follow that this thread keeps skipping, and it's the one number that would answer your question. A view is delivery, a like is a reaction, but a follow can only happen after someone leaves the reel and opens the profile. That step is reported per post as profile visits, so you don't have to guess at what changed.

Pull that column for a recent reel and for one of the older reels you're comparing it to. If reach went up and profile visits stayed flat, the post isn't sending anyone to the profile and the fix is in the post, usually because the reel is complete on its own and gives no reason to look further. If profile visits went up and follows didn't, people did arrive and then declined, and the fix is the first screen of the profile rather than the content.

One caution on the comparison itself. Similar reach across two different months isn't the same audience, so the ratio to trust is per post, not month against month. Two posts, two numbers, and you'll know which half of the funnel to work on instead of arguing about the algorithm.

Algo is acting more like interest media now, showing your content to people who may like it all over the world. people are seeing more and more of their interest based content from new people. establish a reason to stay with your for future posts. or use short term comment to DM strategies if you have a good proposition ready

yeah I’ve noticed this too that reach and likes don’t always mean people will follow qnd i think instagram is showing reels to more non-followers now but they may just watch and scroll down.
