Lemon8’s algorithm..let’s talk about it

So I had a few posts go viral.

And I totally fell off posting after that for some reason. But when I started posting again, the numbers weren’t there.

I feel like lemon8 is trying to discipline me 😂😂

But also, I see how my viral posts went viral. They seemed quality. Maybe my other ones missed the mark.

Anyway I’m struggling with the algorithm, just like a lot of folks.

Has anyone figured it out? I can’t pinpoint a time or hashtag or any certain thing besides quality. & that’s subjective.

I do feel like lemon8 is trying to niche me but in two different niches at the same time. Lol. I firmly believe that more times than not, the app niches you. A lot of creators don’t pick their niche. They just make a post, it goes viral, then that’s what they have to stick to.

I need feedback!! Do y’all like the algorithm or not?

Do y’all understand it?

any questions? I’m getting back in my lemon8 era so let’s talk

how to “hack” the lemon8 algorithm (ethically) 🍋
1. lead with clarity. your first line should explain exactly what the post is about. the algorithm reads that. frontload the value. 2. use searchable titles and keywords. treat captions like mini articles. include niche phrases your audience would type or search for. 3. make saveable conten

Lemon8’s engagement blooms slowly
I see a lot of talk about the low engagement especially with notes here now But… Even if it gets 2 likes and one is your cousin That doesn’t mean it wasn’t good. It doesn’t mean you should question your entire life. Sometimes the algorithm’s asleep. Sometimes people are just lurking.
