Instagram collabs for more likes

Lately, I’ve been doing more collaboration posts on Instagram. (2025-04)
Collab posts have more exposure, leading to more likes.

However, it doesn’t seem to lead to more followers,

  • Likely because my profile is private, and I don’t use public hashtags
  • But also because the collab audience mostly consists of private friends from the collaborator. They’re only interested in their friend’s post, not mine. You mostly meet new friends in person, not over Instagram.
  • Oshi no ko mentions the key to fast growth of a streamers popularity is collaborating with other high profile creators, to leech of their popularity.
