OMG!!! Old vs. New instagram algorithm.

How to win the digital chaos?

Insta is changing the rules again! Just when we figured out hashtags and endless reels, bam – new guidelines! Don’t worry, here at Lab, we know how to handle algorithmic somersaults and we’ll help you navigate it with ease and humor.

The old algorithm: the golden era of hashtags and never-ending reels.

Ah, those were the days! Hashtags ruled the world, reels went on forever, and captions were as inspiring as the weather forecast. It was all about quantity over quality. But as they say, all good things must come to an end. Now it’s time for…

The new algorithm: community is king!

The algorithm finally woke up and realized, “Hey, maybe people want content that actually engages them?” Shorter reels? Finally! Engaging captions? Absolutely! And guess what? Single photos are back in style. Who would’ve thought they’d be trendy again?

How to play and win? Here are our rules:

1️⃣ Build a community. Don’t just post random stuff. Focus on content that sparks conversations and builds relationships. Your audience wants to feel like part of your story.

2️⃣ Keep it short and sweet. Short reels are in, so why drag it out? Less time editing, more time enjoying those likes.

3️⃣ Write clever captions. Forget “Sunday vibes, coffee, chill.” Now, what you write under your post might matter more than the post itself.

4️⃣ Single photos are back. No need for carousels to get noticed. Post one good photo and watch the likes roll in.

The bottom line: the algorithm might change, but we don’t!!!

At Lab360, we’ve been outsmarting algorithms for years. It’s not magic; it’s the art of creating content that entertains, engages, and builds relationships. Want to stay ahead of the game? Get in touch, and together we’ll turn Instagram into your playground.

PS: The algorithm may change, but one thing is for sure – your audience will always crave a good story. So, let’s tell it together. ????
