After the major algorithm change I had to change up strategies and many things are failing me as of late.

I had been posting 6 posts a day and using 30 hashtags that were researched before the alg update and everything was fine. I had a pretty big growth. Until the alg change happened and now I have a negative follow rate I'm getting less followers I barely get any comments and my likes on my quality images on pretty relevant niche dropped.

So I decided to change up the plan and try to get into some groups to work together however that was useless because no-one let me in a group. Then I did some research and apparently you cant use the same hashtags repetitively even if it is aiming towards the right audience. Also your not supposed to use more then like 20 hashtags anymore apparently. I tried all of this and still to no prevail I lost more followers then I was gaining. so i experimented changing the times that i believed were the best times to post to begin with and I STILL lost more followers then I was gaining.

After a while I came to the conclusion that 6 posts a day was considered as excessive posting.

so I post 2 or 3 times a day and yet I'm losing followers.

background knowledge


I have a quote niche and I post quality posts
I never changed my niche.
I give feed back.
I text back to all of my comments.
I like 1 or 2 posts of each person that comments


WHY AM I LOSING MORE FOLLOWERS THEN I'M GAINING ?

I'm not ever going to give up but, I just don't understand; I try to keep everyone engaged and people like the posts I make. So what is causing me to lose more then I gain?

I looked through threads but, I couldn't find anything to help me so I decided to make this thread.
 
I use gramblr, but likes that are real and get comments, you can also schedule, worth a look op.
 
However why am i in the negatives with my follow rate? why would others be un-following? any suggestions?
 
yeah I use photographed photos that fit the image.
In my oppinion they ar way better images then almost all of the 300k + followers groups. mine are very high quality but i barely have any followers now and im still losing.
 
may be you have exceeded instagram's limit which now they have limited things you get?
How do you exceed their limit? What limit? I had like 10k followers and now Im all the way down to 2.3k
 
Within about 5 months I lost that many subs.
 
Just how it is these days imo. Botting, I gain total of 150 followers a day. If I stopped, Id get 1-10 a day, 7 of them would be fake/botting, and id loose 20 followers total. If you arent gaining u are losing. These days you can ONLY grow via the explore page, and if you dont have enough followers where 10% = explore page level content, you wont grow.
