Do you read blogs on mainstream social medias (IG, FB)
Whenever I write about my personal experiences on social media in terms of having longer captions, I feel that the engagement is generally lower as the norm favours people who write short and concise captions. Are mainstream social medias the right place for me to write about my lifestyle experiences?

I’d say yes because if you’re doing what is authentic and easy for you, you will attract the people who can best support the authentic and easy behavior, and then more rewarding interactions can happen between you and your audience. My preference is quality over quantity

There has to be a reason for wanting to share any ideas or experiences. If you lead a relatively conventional life and there really isn’t anything in particular that you want to express, and the writing practice itself isn’t the point, or making any particular online connections, then it would have to be something else. It seems valid to test out self-expression to see what comes of it, but it could work better to have one or more clear goals.
This implies a goal of others being engaged, related to viewership stats. That could use some further examination, why people reading or viewing whatever you express is necessarily a good thing. If the idea is mostly just to record what you experience a paper journal might be fine. Getting people to engage in discussion of anything at all relates to them being interested, personally invested. Most forms of shared experience just wouldn’t lead there.
