If one of your posts gets shadowbanned, how long do you wait to make your next post?

>>10617753
You post 2-3 pics in shadowban and live through the less exposure and you get it back afterwards

>>10617764
And avoid whatever tag got you banned

So are there new Accounts to follow? I don't care about the style and numbers of followers, just name everyone you like

>>10617936
What kind of accounts? Cosplay? Jfash?

>>10617947
Oh sorry, Lolita or other J-fashions

>>10617770
>And avoid whatever tag got you banned
That’s just it though, I don’t know how my post got shadowbanned. I didn’t use many tags and I checked each one, but none are broken. The post itself doesn’t contain anything inappropriate either, so I have no idea why this happened

>>10618282
Any containing the word lolita

>>10618297
No I’m a cosplayer

I'd say try reposting the same content with different tags to see which gets better reach, but that experiment might be impacted by your current ban.

>>10618701
None of those first four are hideous? And at least half of them have been pretty influential since the livejournal days.

>>10618692
Every time. I normally have a reach of about 7-14k when I'm shadowbanned it's way lower. After a few posts it's getting back to normal and I'm shown in #s again. I've accepted it and just keep posting in hopes that the reach is still up when I'm uploading

their content is so bland I have no idea how they got so popular. Is it just because they’re more pretty than the average lolita?

>>10618796
On today's news, basic bitch instagram users like basic bitches. Also water is wet.
Also why Fanny is so popular despite posting random ass coordinates. They are pretty and appeal to a broader base of users.

>>10618701
lmao jealous loser

Does anyone have suggestions for primarily classic lolita coord accounts to follow? Searching through the tag gets so many lolicon, product advertisement, and just plain irrelevant normie results it's unreal

>>10618827
I think they're "trans"
they post a lot of SJW trash and begs for money every other month.

>>10618691
fuck off scrote

>>10618938

I'm a little loathe to post people here because of all the salt, but search brand tags like innocent world and Victorian maiden and I like most of the people who consistently wear those items. Also #marymagdalenejp has become the tag of choice for MM as the original tag is just inundated with jesus fags and cult larpers for obvious reasons.

>>10618691

nta but tf are you talking about? none of her pics are pedoshit and she's clearly a woman, though the name is honestly awful. I'd recommend changing it to something else

>>10618692
Actually no, anon doesn't know what they're talking about. It depends on that type of shadow ban you have, if you're being banned completely from hashtags or if you're just being limited from explore/popular tags. The second one is worse, because you can be banned for 90 days. The complete tag ban can last for up to 2 weeks.

>>10619056
god you are such an idiot and a new fag. Jordy has been featured in one of the lolita docs but I forget which one and im too lazy to find it

Your brain is so rotted out you think feminine clothes = woman

Also, while it may seem like a good move to search the classic lolita tag on IG, it's inundated with sweet and old school, because apparently no one knows what classic is.

I gotta wonder... does this girl have a job or does she have a rich family/boyfriend? She posts head-to-toe brand coords pretty much daily, is always posting stories of her going out or shopping, and posts MASSIVE hauls. She also has an entire room dedicated specifically to lolita. What the fuck do I have to do to achieve that kind of lifestyle?

>>10619838
Says she is shop staff. So likely some dressing up is her job. She doesn’t have a big wardrobe, likely buys and sells a lot. It’s all fake

>>10619838
>What the fuck do I have to do to achieve that kind of lifestyle?
unironically, work a tech job from home. and not something like medical coding or freelance web dev, but consultancy or some kind of development. if you play your cards right you can make a lot. then if you have a partner, you're raking in twice as much.

(not implying that that's what she does. just what i do, and i have a shit ton of brand and the money to go shopping/nice restaurants/whatever other hedonistic thing. if you want a cushy life but weren't born wealthy and don't feel like gold digging, this is the best option.)

>>10619838
She turns her wardrobe over very quickly, sells almost equal amounts of dresses she buys. And it mostly just looks like she has a lot of dresses because she's a lifestyler but she repeat wears the same dresses a lot.

I went through my own follows to find some accounts to contribute to this thread. These are all sub 500, post mostly about lolita and look cute enough in my book. I could probably find some more if I bothered. Nonetheless, I hope somebody enjoys this.

I feel like itsvanillabear is kind of over lolita. I just get the vibe she wears it only for IG these days. Though maybe more Lolitas are like that than I realize.

Are the accounts gaining reach and follows all paying for engagement?

>>10620764
That’s so true she’s always complaining about not getting enough likes/engagement. It’s so ridiculous to me when people ask for likes, comments or whatever. I will like what I like not because of pity! Isn’t she managing the social media for a company? I’m honestly surprised she should know better.

>>10621112
Pretty common these days, desu IG is useless nowadays and probably will die soon if nothing changes, it only really works now if you pay for shit.

>>10621201
ayrt and yeah its a really bad look. no one is owed engagement, and she's not even a business, she's just a person posting outfits.

I feel like her style is kind of tired at this point, like she'd rather leave lolita but won't do it out of fear of losing her following.

>>10621201
>Isn’t she managing the social media for a company?
She’s a stay at home mom (ie not working) now. But either way, even regular, non-social media savvy people know that begging for likes and engagement drives people away.

anyone got reccs for love live cos centered accounts?

>>10621311
I wouldn't doubt that there are people out there who only cosplay love live, but imo you're going to have better luck looking for cosplayers who tend to lean towards shoujos as they tend to also make detailed love live builds. That's my experience with cosplayers on my feed anyway.

in all seriousness though, this "Jordy" is larping as trans, he will never be a woman. he's a really cringy weeb trash and has post loli uwu content on their feed/stories.

>>10621863
did you honestly think "Jordy" is the birth name? lmao

>>10622123
I don't think Jordy is anyone's birth name, anon. It's a nickname and short for Jordan, pretty is a pretty gender-neutral name.

Yeah, I think straight lolita's tend to be more quiet about it, which is to be expected.

>>10624552
>>10624744
This, being straight really has little to do with sharing coords so I don't mention it at all.

>>10624744

>>10628347
I'm straight, and being exposed to so much lgbt talk in the lolita hobby got me to consider the idea of being attracted to women theoretically, but in the end I've determined I'm just not willing to give up the dick. If 2D futas were real, I'd be down to date one; but I for sure don't want a vag-only relationship or some dude with titties.

>>10628347

Honestly I'm bi in a loving relationship with my fiance but cottagecore life has me daydreaming about a cute wife I can live the dream with. Doesn't help my best friend who is lesbian is literally living that life. Plus I wouldn't have to deal with the hard edges of masculinity. I'm sure there are drawbacks and I'm content right now but that's social media for you, making shit seem way better than it probably is.

I want to know about your recent struggles.

I’m quitting Instagram partly because of the rise of garbage like this. People putting boilerplate captions about “privilege” and “inequities” under picture of themselves in $500 collectible luxury dresses purely for clout. It’s dumb as hell, tone deaf and I hate that so many are drinking the kool aid

>>10637963
Jesus wtf is even that coord? Those hideous shoes, the awkward length and questionable lace on those socks, a Louis Vuitton bag that matches nothing? (Side note LV is entry level luxury and usually ugly and basic).

>>10637963

Her captions along with a couple of others have been so cringe. I'm not here to get lectured on privilege I just want to see coords.

>>10637963
I could tell who this was from the caption

>>10637999
The thing is I'm an insufferable academic and follow people like modernwarrior on TikTok, etc. I just think that acting like your expensive niche fashion blog featuring nouveau riche clout items is not the place to talk about it, and acting like it is suggests an IQ somewhere around room temperature.

>>10632130
Her coords are mostly meh

>>10637963
>discussing privilege, discrimination, poverty, civil rights and so on
>posts a picture wearing several hundred dollars worth of niche frilly clothes
This shit is exhausting and why I stopped following lolitas who started posting captions like picrel.

>>10637963
>>10637999
It's so obnoxious when people shoehorn in a social justice caption on a completely unrelated image (usually ones showing themselves/their possessions off). If you really want to talk about a social issue then take it seriously, don't slap it onto a photo of yourself for attention

>>10638083

You're just as cringe as she is, wtf. No wonder the younger generation is doomed.

>>10638083
>your expensive niche fashion blog featuring nouveau riche clout items is not the place to talk about it
Agree, but last summer people got everyone to believe that if you weren’t commenting on social justice daily, even on your hobby account, then that automatically meant you were racist/homophobic/transphobic

>>10638134
I’m a PhD candidate, lol. Just figured that a TikToker would be more accessible to readers here than the scholars I have to read.

>>10638175

I think TikTok is great as an intro to stuff but a lot of times information is oversimplified or crammed in. There's also the issue that other than a few trusted people TikTok is full of people acting like they know shit but actually don't, and TikTok doesn't give a shit about differentiating. So after you watch one let's say scientifically informative tok the algorithm bizarrely then routes you to a naturopath. It's really not great, there are better alternatives for easy consumption of complex concepts that may not lead to misinformation or incredibly hot takes meant to generate engagement.

Sage for this not really being related but reels is basically ported TikTok anyways.

Well the bastard who runs Instagram finally admits out loud that he’s doing everything he can to kill off Instagram.

I’m definitely pissed off about this. Instagram was the best place to share photos and over the past year or two they’ve been making it more and more shitty for people who flocked to the app just to share photos only. I’ve gotten several thousand followers on there, but now it’s like what’s the point if most of them are going to be restricted from seeing my posts?

I guess it’s just time to start over on a new app. Where are you gulls jumping ship to? I’ve heard a lot of people say they’re moving over to Twitter. I never really got into Twitter before, so if you guys know the ins and outs of Twitter etiquette, I’d love to hear it

>>10642431
whatever, time to go back to tumblr

>>10642431
Hearing the news felt so sour. I was barely getting my account going and mostly had the energy for reposting my tiktoks, but I was looking forward to actually taking nice photos once I finished the cosplays I'm working on. It's a pipe dream, but I hope people can bully him into atleast splitting his attention to photos too.

I'm pretty frequent on twitter and it's not a bad alternative. They just removed the mega-crop on photo previews, so that should be helpful to jump-shippers. The thread feature is great for cosplayers like myself to share WIP progress.

As for etiquette, this is what comes to mind:
>Don't quote retweet art or posts that you want to give traction to the original creator for because qrting is the equivalent of duetting or stitching a tiktok (remixing on insta), you in essence create a new post when doing so and any traction your "new" post gets will not go to the orignal creator. Instead we create a new tweet and use "LRT:" or 'last retweet" to share thoughts. This rule wouldn't apply if you're adding an addendum or correction to a post.
>any engagement (likes, rt's, comments, shares) promotes content so if you see a dumbass take, it's usually a better idea to take a screenshot (crop the username) and make your own post about it than to fight directly in the comments. Or you can just ignore it lol
>when commenting on a thread, it's usually best to comment on the first or last tweet in the thread because commenting directly to a random tweet in the thread will get buried by the way the app displays comments and threads.
>don't leave memes or english comments on non-english speakers' tweets. There have been many instances where a westerner will leave a "delete this" or "im gonna kill you" tweet that is intended to be playful in english but comes off threatening or mean to non-english speakers and has resulted in them deleting their post (specifically art) or leaving entirely. In general, it's best to use LRT as I mentioned previously.

>>10642432
Yeah I'm headed back there too. Always hated insta so this is a good reason

>>10642431
I started posting pictures and blogging a little again on Cosplay Amino. It's pretty dead and there are a bunch of underage MHA fans that will always show up on the latest posts feed, but I don't feel as hopeless as when looking at Instagram. Instagram's profile page really is a nice portfolio but they really just want to be TikTok2. I can't stand Twitter because even trying to look at the media tab of someone's account is just a bunch of the same few reaction gifs and screenshots of gacha pulls. I've never used Tumblr but last I heard they were actively killing the site with content policing too, is it really an option for replacing Instagram?

I always liked insta because it was so easy to find new people. I’ll try to stick with insta for a little longer and if a big move happens with others I’ll go to Twitter, but not back to tumblr.

>>10643331
Ntayt but as long as you're not posting porn, I haven't noticed them silencing anyone or blocking content. Twitter and insta do this regularly tho. Maybe Tumblr does too and I've never heard or noticed. Unfortunately tho Tumblr is half dead so without a mass migration back, don't expect a lot of content interaction.

Wish we had a new platform

>>10643331
The actual problem with Tumblr is that it's full of porn bots, and the site owners are doing nothing about it because it brings them traffic. So if you don't want to constantly have porn shoved in your face, don't go to Tumblr.

>>10643372
>>10643369
Just block porn bots. Thats what I do. Tumblr is nice. They do kinda police posts, but unless you are posting what they consider anti covid shit or white supremacy, you're good.

>>10643372
It's pretty obvious which blogs are porn bots, just block them when you see them following you. It takes 2 seconds. Besides that, tumblr is still my favorite social media site. It's just a bunch of women in their mid-twenties and late-twenties who never left, enthusiastically doing their thing. And on my feed there's pretty much no Discourse(tm), it's a lot easier to avoid than 5 years ago.

>>10643372
>So if you don't want to constantly have porn shoved in your face, don't go to Tumblr.
you must be willingly following blogs with nsfw content yourself then, I get followed by porn bots too but I don't see their stuff unless I consciously look at their blogs. just block/ignore and you'll be fine, deal with them the same way you'd deal with sissies or legwear fetishists on ig, you can't escape the degenerates anyways because they're everywhere

Instagrams dead, go to Vero if you want hi res photos and growth.its where all the high profile cosplayers are now

I’m thinking of making a Neocities because as many have mentioned, I really do think we lost something in the community when blogging died out.

>>10644710
definitely play around with neocities, but i’d also recommend a Wordpress since there’s so many modules and features available. just makes it easier to get what you want out there.

but if you’re into olde internet blinky gifs and html, you do you! i’m gonna transfer to a blog soon too. having followers sucks.

>>10644713
You go to wordpress? I cant decide between wordpress and blogspot. I dont know html to make a neocities so thats out of the question.

>>10644713
>>10644710
I do think that blogs and personal websites are about to have a renaissance as people get social media fatigue. I was admiring ita.toys today and pondering the idea of slapping together my own website

>>10644781
Isn't there templates available for neocities or some kind of base codes at least? idk since I've never used nc myself but I kinda doubt there's so many people with coding skills that good

>>10644937
oh yes i'm certain there's a lot of online resources for basic website templates. probably just a quick search away! but most of the sites there (at least the ones i've seen from lolitas) look pretty homegrown, using basic html and some css skills. a lot of people have basic web design skills from being past Neopets users, actually. just a weird tidbit.

i would recommend wordpress > blogspot. i think i've mentioned this before, but wordpress is open source and they don't lay claim to the content you post. if you want to own your information (as best as you can, at least) use wordpress. plus blogspot is a legacy platform and kind of on its way out.

I hate this so much. I've seen ones of people grinning so widely whilst talking about the people being brutally murdered... how do these people not see that it's tone deaf?

>tumblr is still my favorite social media site. It's just a bunch of women in their mid-twenties and late-twenties who never left, enthusiastically doing their thing.
Created a tumblr again just because of this comment anon, you better be right. I want to make some new connections, make friends with people and give and receive advice and concrit. Anywhere zoomer infested tends to have tons of drama or politics, and I don't want any of that.

I would make a wordpress again, but I don't know... I get kinda antsy talking one-on-one. Kind of just want to start out in an already established community and start building friendships there. Would go to discord but eh, discord is discord. Probably not anyone worth my while there.
