Hot take: Muting hashtags got me more reach than any posting schedule trick
I messed with hashtag sets for 4 months trying to crack reach on my woodworking page (tracked every post in a spreadsheet like a nerd). The thing that finally moved the needle took me one afternoon: muting about 40 spammy hashtags so my feed stopped showing me the same recycled content. My saves went from around 12 a post to 40 because I was actually seeing what normal people post instead of bots. Everyone obsesses over when to post and which tag combo is magic, but the real fix was changing what I looked at first. What dumb small change ended up helping your reach more than the big tricks?

Tracked your own data for 4 months which already puts you ahead of most people crying about the algorithm. Here's the angle nobody talks about: muting those tags probably fixed your own taste, not the app. You stopped marinating in the same 50 viral woodworking clips and started noticing what regular people actually build and ask about. That changes what you make next, and what you make next is what drives saves. I did the same thing with my feed last year, cut the big accounts, followed a bunch of tiny ones, and my comments got way better because I was replying to real questions instead of fighting for space under a million views. The reach followed the ideas, not some timing chart.
