  • Revive an old Instagram Account or Restart?

    Posted by Witty-Custard3461 on February 1, 2026 at 3:05 pm

    Hi all!

    I have a travel Instagram account that had 25k followers. The Account is 14 years old! It had a decent engagement once upon a time. But post pandemic, I had stopped posting on the account. In the last few years of inconsistent posting, I now have 17k followers.

    My engagement now is around only 1-2%!

    In last year, I posted content on running more than travel. And these days, my running content gets more views than travel contents.

    However, I want to restart my travel blog and social media (IG, Pinterest etc).

    So, Should I try to revive this account, or start fresh?

    Can anyone here can provide some sound advice. i will be really grateful.

    Thanks, everyone!

    You can revive and continue where you stopped.

    Should you revive it instead of restarting, yes or no?

    Totally get this

    I’m the founder of Mydrop AI, the Social Management tool

    We use Content Scheduling across 2,243 profiles, so the patterns are clear

    If followers still reply or DM, treat it as a revival: audit top posts & announce your return

    Post a consistent format 3x/week for 4 weeks & engage every comment in the first hour

    If organic reach is dead, rebuild with a tight niche & repurpose the best posts
