Posting Limits & Best Practices
Posting too much or at the wrong times can hurt your profile.
Consider the time
If posting manually, consider the behavior of your audience.
If you’re based on the east coast of the US, then it would make the most sense to post before bed (7-10PM EST), before work (5-8AM EST), or at lunch time (12-2PM EST).
Posts are prioritized in social algorithms based on the initial interaction they receive on the for-you algorithm. Give yourself a better chance by posting at peak times.
