Switched from posting at 5pm to 7am and my engagement doubled

Used to just post whenever I felt like it. Usually after work around 5. Got maybe 50 likes max. Friend told me to try early morning. 7am sharp. First post hit 400 likes in an hour. Algorithm seems to favor stuff that sits before the lunch rush. Anyone else notice a time window that works better?

7am is actually about catching the early scroll before work starts.

Man, I gotta say it also depends on what kind of morning person you are. If you're a night owl forcing yourself up at 7, your scroll mindset is totally different than someone who's naturally up at 5. One's groggy and just tapping on stuff, the other's sharp and ready to engage.

Wait what niche or industry are you in though? I feel like morning posts might work totally different for like food vs tech stuff. Did you test other times around 7am or just stick with that one?
