How recommendations work, and how to read your insights
On this page
CrowOn Rank is what takes your posts to people who don't follow you yet. Here's how posts are picked, and how to read the numbers afterwards.
How a post gets recommended
- First, a few people. A new post is first recommended to a small group. Your follower count doesn't matter.
- Reactions are read. Did people watch to the end, comment, share, follow or save? Skips count too. Comments weigh the most.
- Then more people. If people react well, it goes to a bigger group next. This repeats over several rounds.

Open your insights
Go to Settings›Your activity›Insights. Only you see them. Viewers are counted, never named.
Period
Choose 7 days, 28 days, 90 days or 1 year at the top right. Under each number is the change from the previous period of the same length.
Four numbers
- Reach
- How many people saw your posts.
- Views
- How many times your posts were shown. One person seeing it twice counts twice.
- Reactions
- Likes, comments, shares and saves together.
- New followers
- Followers gained in the period.
From seeing to following
Four steps, reached → reacted → profile → follow, show where people drop off. Few reactions for your reach? Look at the first seconds. Many profile visits but few follows? Look at your profile.
