Question

Can you get followers if your account is private?

Community Answer

Yes, but it is more difficult because they can't see your feed until you accept their follow request, and that turns many people away.

Question

How are most followers lost?

Community Answer

You can lose followers if your content becomes unengaging or repetitive, or if you post anything deemed offensive or highly controversial. For instance, sharing strong political views often results in losing followers.

Question

How do I perform a shoutout on Instagram?

Community Answer

To perform a shoutout, ask someone with more followers to mention your profile. Often, you'll need to offer something in return, like engaging with their posts. It's best to direct message them first to propose the exchange.

Can I hide a post from a specific follower on Instagram?

Community Answer

You can't hide a post from a specific follower on Instagram, but you can create a close friends list and share your post only with selected followers. Alternatively, you can edit your photo to remove anything you don't want certain followers to see or send the photo directly to specific followers.

Question

Does using a hashtag affect whether my Instagram profile is private or public?

Using a hashtag does not change your profile's privacy settings. If your profile is set to private, it will remain private regardless of hashtags.

Question

How do I create my own hashtag on Instagram?

Community Answer

You create a hashtag simply by typing it into your post's caption, for example, #MyUniqueTag. If that specific hashtag has not been used before, you effectively create it; otherwise, your post will be added to the existing collection of content using that tag.

Question

I have almost 3,000 Instagram followers, but why doesn't my follower count display as "2k"?

Community Answer

Instagram typically displays your exact follower count until you reach 10,000 followers; at that point, it starts using the "k" notation for thousands (e.g., 10k, 10.1k). Therefore, with almost 3,000 followers, you will see the precise number rather than "2k."
