Should I post more or wait for more likes?

2-3 posta per day is fine. Try to embed different hashtags combination to see which set has higher exposure. Btw what are your F/UF limits?

This account was created in 2017 and was using Jarvee until it got permanently banned in the IG purge. I then appealed it and sent documents and got it unbanned after many months. I then didn't use the account or login for over a year.

Currently I am following between 200 - 400 accounts per day, liking around 100 posts per day and viewing as many stories from followers. I also view the stories of people that don't follow me but in my niche.

I then unfollow until I am down to 200 followings take a rest day and do it all again.

Again I'm using my own phone and manually doing this so it's at random times but I am posting 9AM 3PM and 7PM with some stories and random extra posts when I see my followers extra active a particular day.

I have seen a higher rate of comments on my own posts since I started commenting on my followers old posts. I'm limiting this to max 5-10 comments per day.
 
Just wanted to conclude incase others do come across this thread.

Masspoller:
I had tried masspoller this week with targeted profiles and I was getting spam follow backs which I blocked / removed to stop ghost or non engaging followers.

Shoutouts:
I did try a shoutout, this person is regarded high in my niche and has 70k followers very engaged. They get many comments and thousand real likes in 10 minutes. The shoutout cost me €15 for 2x story posts. I used some of my best content I kept aside and did not see a rise in followers than normal at all. Waste of money.

Story Viewing:
I manuall only view the stories of my own 300 followings. I usually quick tap next them all or swipe the slider if I see it. I had tried to manually view non followers stories but I did not see a good return if any.

Commenting:
I have stopped commenting on random profiles and only comment on those who have commented on my posts to keep them commenting again (say that 3x lol).

Follow / Unfollow:
I have stopped using this method and currently the account only follows 300 people back (those who comment and engage everytime). I am doing well with the posts and hashtags alone so this action is not needed.

Posting:
Since I have started to post 1x per day only (before was 3x - 5x) after 2PM, I am getting more likes and consistent 200 daily followers just from the post and hashtags.

Hashtags:
I have 2 sets of 30 hashtags. I use one set for every post until I see a decrease in quick likes once posting then I switch to the second set of hashtags for the next post. Typically I use a set for 4 posts before switching. I use all 30 and it's doing well. Most hashtags have a reach of 400k to 2million.

More post are going explore page in my small niche:

Conclude:
Masspoller, shoutouts, follow unfollow was all crap for me and my niche. Follow unfollow did well until I realised how well hashtags and just good content can do on it's own once it gets traction. Now I just post once per day and get around 200+ followers per day which is great for me.

Thanks for reading!
 
I have a new IG account I am growing manually via viewing stories, liking posts and follow / unfollow active people. So far it is going great, I am increasing 150 followers per day.

All the content is my own and high quality photoshoot images outdoors (taken before the coronavirus). Currently I am posting 3 - 5 posts per day. Each post gets around 200 likes by the end of the day slowly.

Should I continue to post or wait till the previous post has hit 100+ likes then make a new post?

Does it have any influence on IG algorithms and engagement rates?
I would spread them out maybe do one every other day. People don't want to follow accounts that will flood their feed and saturate content
