Q: I'm starting a fresh account. What's the playbook for the first 5 posts?

Short answer: prove the niche to the algorithm before you get clever.

Longer answer:
—
Post 1: your single best, most specific niche topic — no trend, pure value.
—
Posts 2–3: same topic, different angles, so the system tags your account clearly.
—
Post 4: one currently-trending format adapted to your niche.
—
Post 5: respond to a comment/question from posts 1–4.
—
Post all 5 within 5–7 days, same time slot.

Verdict: a new account's job is to teach the algorithm exactly who to show you to. Five tight, on-topic posts do that faster than ten scattered ones. Niche clarity first, range later.
