"How comfortable it feels, to the extent that we find it difficult to leave even when we are hurting. It's a weird instinct to hold on and a strange sense of hope that things will get better. Don't forget to be kind."

Peak posting days

—

Peak posting hours

Posts per week, the average gap, active days and the consistency score are not shown for this account. The posts we analysed include pinned posts, which Instagram keeps at the top of a profile however old they are, so counting them stretches the date range and understates how often the account posts. Peak days and hours count the same posts.

Instagram gave us the date of these posts but not the time, so there are no posting hours for this account. Peak days use the dates.

Engagement by Day of the Week

@sadguynextdoor's recent posts grouped by the day they went out. Most days here have one or two posts, so one strong post can set a day's average. Read it as a record of these posts, not as the best day to post.
