Which means…

→ Your feed = reflection of your interactions
→ If you’re still seeing irrelevant junk, you haven’t trained the algo

This also means, the algo doesn’t know who to show your posts to either!

The people or accounts you reply to play a crucial role in who your posts are shown to… So how do you grab their attention?

By dropping quality replies.

How do you leave quality replies?

Lemme show you 👇🏽

The Rules (simple + actionable)

1. Reply where you’d want to live.

→ Stop chasing viral threads outside your lane.
→ Have conversations with people in your niche.

That’s how you attract the right people back.

2. Don’t be lazy.

→ “Facts.” “So true.” “🔥” = dead replies.
→ Add something real: a quick tip, a missing detail, or a question others can answer.

3. Respect the room.

→ Don’t hijack someone’s post to promo yourself.
Seeing a Quote Post within a reply is a huge turn off
→ Add a valuable opinion that makes the OP (and readers) look at you as someone worth following.

How to Do It in Practice

• Pick 5–10 accounts in your niche. Reply to them daily.

• Keep replies under 3 lines. Nobody reads a wall.

• Ask yourself: Would I be intrigued to have a convo with this person if I saw this? If no → rewrite it accordingly.

Read this to also understand how you can split your replies into different categories and utilize your time properly and efficiently ⬇️

(Bonus: There’s a few lists you can follow):

Why This Works

➤ Good replies = attention to your profile = more views on own posts.

➤ The algo learns who you talk to = shows you to them & their audience.

➤ Your feed starts filling with the right people = no more junk content.

YOUR MISSION.. Should you choose to accept it:

Every day for 7 days…

1. Reply to 5 peers.

2. Reply to 3 bigger accounts in your niche.

3. Save your best reply → turn it into tomorrow’s post.

(Doesn’t matter how many times you do it but they have to be high quality and meaningful according to what I mentioned above)

By the end of the week, I guarantee your replies will be pulling in real conversations, quality followers and higher impressions and engagements on your posts.

Replies aren’t just “replies”… they’re how you build your audience and tell the algo who you are.

Random “LFG” “👀” “Great post” replies won’t do anything for you!

Act like every reply is your business card. Something that draws people to you!
