I just made a new Instagram account so I could pursue my astrophotography (and other random photos) hobby. I already posted 5 very nice photos within the first hour of seeing up my new account.
That was yesterday and I’ve noticed that despite the photos and the hashtags I’ve only gotten 2 likes on 2 of the 5 images I posted and I’ve had no profile views so far.
If I had posted on tiktok I would gotten alot of views and likes within minutes of posting. But to have nearly no likes and no views at all after hours later.
It gets really discouraging. Is there something I’m not doing? I try to use hashtags that are really active and use as many a I can but I find that no matter how many hashtags I use it won’t make a difference.
Any one have advice how I can increase my chances of actually getting decent views/likes quickly and start growing my following?
serious responses only please
Hey, I’m in a similar place as well. I’ve started an Insta page to showcase my photographs of what captivates me.
Can you share your InstaID? May be we can follow each other and have another like from like-minded persons?

Absolutely. I’m currently planning trips so I could start uploading more content as well as my actual astrophotography content I’ve been holding off for so long. But so far, I just have more casual images while keeping a certain theme… my ig
Both are pretty cool! Sharing mine as well lol my IG
Your’s is damn cool bro! You clicked some amazing shots!
Go ahead and post them, what’s holding you off?
I’m doing this thing where I’m trying to post a photo daily until I clear up the photos I want to put up. Though I’m posting everyday, I’m pushing myself to spend sometime daily to either choose, edit or post photos. Taking the step matters to me, hope it helps :)
