For the past month or so, I have been increasing my posting on both #Pixelfed and #Instagram. Both accounts get the same content. Since it's me and it's my personal account, the content is all over place with no consistent theme. That matters.
So, let's talk stats.
In terms of likes and comments, here are the averages:
Insta - 15.2 likes, 2.5 comments
Pixelfed - 10.1 likes, 0.7 comments
Maximums are interesting. Here's that breakdown:
Insta - 27 likes, 9 comments
Pixelfed - 36 likes, 3 comments
On Pixelfed, the max likes was a #bloomscrolling post on, which didn't do nearly as well on Insta (12 likes).
The reverse is also true. The max likes on Insta was me wearing my killer #ChristmasSuit, which got 27 likes. On Pixelfed? 14 likes.
Now one thing I cannot account for is shares on Instagram. I have a personal account, so that stat I can't exactly compare to the boost / share stat on Pixelfed. May need to adjust my account in the future to check that. But, it's interesting.
Theme-less image-based accounts, even with continuous posting, are never going to get huge numbers no matter where you are posting unless you're already famous.
Like to follower ratio is higher on Pixelfed than Insta, but there's more overall interactions on Insta than Pixelfed.
I am going to keep doing this duplicate posting cause...why not? Different people see it on the different platforms.
@elisse The stuff I post is inconsistent (manga pics, selfies, parenting jokes, a picture of flowers, etc), but I have been posting most weekdays for the past month.
@mdmrn Oh, okay! My understanding from working in the field before was that set things at set times do best but I was working with a brand account, so there was a theme to it already.
@elisse Which totally makes sense. And I also don't post necessarily at super consistent times. Generally in the morning, but not always the same times.
@mdmrn Some really interesting stats MD! and gz too
my biggest problem is I'm not consistent at all. Funny enough on my FB, i usually post blogs, screen caps, they don't usually generate much or hardly any views or any engagement at al. I did put a small reel of my daughter is ranked s, and that alone generated over 500 impressions. Which is annoying to me
If you're going to dup, then have you tried social champ? it is a paid social media management service, however they do have free as well, limited though.
that reminds me, need to be more consistent on pixelfed too
@scribbbleanime Thanks! I found it interesting. And I get it. I used to be less consistent and, frankly, I may go back to being less consistent. But, I have been making concerted efforts to be more so.
I haven't tried Social Champ. I think I'll keep doing it the old fashioned way. Also because sometimes I tailor what I write to the platform. Not often, but it does happen.
And totally! Do I follow you on PIxelfed? Feel free to follow me - account info is in my profile.
