That one week in april where i posted daily and got 300 likes total

Honestly, I was testing out a new art style on my tablet, doing a piece every evening for 7 days straight. Day 1 got like 12 likes, which is normal for me. But then day 4 I posted a simple line art portrait of a cat and it somehow blew up to 150 likes. By the end of the week, my total engagement was higher than the previous 3 months combined. The weird part is, I didn't change anything huge, just posted at 7 pm instead of 9 pm. Has anyone else noticed a random spike in engagement that made no sense?

What time zone were you in when 7pm worked better?

Nah, I gotta disagree here. Time zone doesn't really matter when the sun's still up at 7pm. I've been in EST, PST, and even tried it in Europe for a week. The problem isn't the clock, it's that 7pm is right in the middle of dinner, commute, or putting kids to bed for most people. Might work great for night owls or folks with no evening obligations though. Just my two cents based on actually doing it across different zones.

Right there with you on that random spike thing, same exact thing happened to me with a sunset photo I threw up on a Tuesday night out of nowhere. It's wild how timing can totally shift your reach without any warning, right?
