Why Facebook and Instagram Bury Posts and Make Engagement Hard
Facebook used to feel personal and fun, but now it’s always changing. You never know when features you liked will stay, and many people notice the same thing — posts can easily get buried, especially when friends and followers have so many connections and follow so many pages. Many people have left Facebook, and even those who are still active often scroll quickly without interacting with posts.
Because of this, even thoughtful and meaningful posts often get lost in the feed. People may read, scroll, or glance at your content, but engagement like likes, comments, or clicks can be very low. It’s not about your content — it’s just how Facebook works now.
Instagram can be the same way. When people follow a lot of accounts, posts can easily get buried in the feed and not always be seen. Even if someone wants to engage, it’s easy to miss posts because of how many accounts they follow.
Many users have left these platforms, while others remain but focus more on browsing than interacting. It can feel frustrating and even disappointing to see your effort go unnoticed.
Both Facebook and Instagram have changed from how they used to be, and these changes affect how people see, engage, and interact with posts.
