I get where you’re stuck. Insta growth in 2023–25 is basically structured, not random luck anymore.
If you want to hit 100k, you need to move from “posting memes” to building a growth engine.Here’s how:
1. Stop fighting the algorithm blindly
Instagram is no longer about spamming reels.
It prioritizes watch time + saves + shares.
Instead of “what to post”, focus on how long people stay watching and if they share it.
2. Diversify content types
Don’t just post reels. Run content pillars:
Trend Hijack Reels (quick meme edits, trending audio).
Face + Personality Reels (your own reactions/skits – people follow PEOPLE).
Single Posts/Carousels – memes with a hook line (they get shared more).
Polls/Stories – drive engagement loops.
3. Go platform-agnostic
Your problem is relying only on IG. Meta throttles reach. Do this:
Re-upload every reel to YT Shorts + TikTok + FB Reels (zero extra effort).
Use Facebook page (22k is solid) – push memes there too. FB reels can go crazy in 2025.
Build a Telegram/Discord meme hub – so reach isn’t controlled by IG.
4. Growth hacks that actually work now
Collab Reels – collab with similar meme pages (IG loves pushing collabs).
CTA inside the meme – “tag your friend” or “this is you” type captions.
Series Content – “Part 1 / Part 2” memes – forces follows.
DM Funnel – reply to comments fast, IG boosts posts with replies.
5. Set a 90-day execution plan
Daily Output: 1–2 reels (mix face + meme edits).
Weekly Output: 2 static memes, 1 carousel.
Cross-post: everything to YT Shorts, FB Reels, TikTok.
Collab: at least 1 with a meme creator per week.
If you stick to this, 100k is not unrealistic in <6 months.
6. Bonus – monetization mindset
Even if IG throttles you, 13k : 100k only matters if you own your audience. Build a Telegram/Discord group NOW. When you reach 100k, you’ll have 20–30k hardcore fans that are not at the mercy of the algorithm.
TL;DR: Stop spamming reels : build a system: mixed content (face + memes + carousels), cross-post everywhere, collab weekly, and capture audience off-platform. Treat it like a funnel, not a lottery.

Been in the same boat man, views tanked this year even tho I didn’t change much. The algo hasn’t really “changed” tho it’s still all about watchtime/retention. If ppl aren’t sticking past the first few seconds, IG stops pushing it. What helped me was running my reels through Creafico to see exactly where viewers dropped, then tweaking hooks + pacing. Once I fixed that, views started climbing back up. Posting your face could def help too it adds that extra connection ppl scroll for.

Experiment with face driven content and niche storytelling to build a stronger connection engagement often spikes when followers feel more personally connected.

Genuine question from a novice – why do you want to get to 100k followers? What happens then?

Looks like you’ve hit that tough spot where growth stalls even though you’ve been putting in the work. Instagram’s algo changes so much that sticking to just one content style, like memes or only reels, can slow things down. Mixing things up with carousels, face-to-camera reels, or even posts that show more of your personality can help brinf back reach. Consistency still matters a lot, but it’s also about making sure your niche feels clear so the algo knows who to push your content to. Another big piece is engagement, asking questions in your captions, replying to comments, and spending time interacting with similar pages can give Instagram the right signals. And honestly, if your goal is 100k, relying only on organic reach can take forever. That’s where tools like Path Social can help, since they connect your content to the right audience while keeping the engagement authentic. Pairing that with a solid posting rhythm and testing new formats each week could get your numbers climbing again.
Goodluck!
