Ohhh, I read your concern as how to grow in popularity, but… I can’t read @.@

I think Litchralee pretty much detailed what I’d do. Use a separate phone, or ig in a browser. My bf had a yolo tablet once, to show his niece how easily “popular” he can get just by posting random cat memes. We learned that if you follow too many accounts at once or get too many follows quickly, they’ll block your account until you do a facial scan, so… That was the end of that experiment, lmao.

If you find the people you meet are using bluesky, I can… with hesitancy… recommend wafrn? I only hesitate because the design intent is like tumblr, and I’m not sure if that’s your vibe. It’s activitypub and atproto compatible, so you can share your one account with both bluesky and fediverse users. You can even spin up your own wafrn instance.
For situational awareness, the alt-text requirement for photos is on by default, but you can turn that off in your wafrn account.
