Key Insights
- 1Audience & behavior: #diy skews toward 18–44 with strong overlap in homeowners/renters doing budget upgrades plus hobbyist makers. Engagement clusters around “saveable” ideas (step lists, templates, material breakdowns) and problem-solving posts; comments rise when you ask for constraints (budget, tools on hand) and offer alternatives.
- 2Content that performs best: short visual-first tutorials win everywhere—(1) a clear before/after, (2) 3–7 steps, (3) exact materials/tools, (4) time + cost. Posts that include a failure/fix (“what went wrong + how I corrected it”) get higher dwell time and replies, and threads/serial posts (“Part 1/2/3”) improve completion and follows versus one-offs.
- 3Platform nuances & opportunities: X rewards recency + early velocity—native video/GIF and concise step threads perform best; use #DIY sparingly (1–2 tags) and add a strong hook in the first 120 characters. Bluesky has a smaller but highly engaged maker crowd; descriptive tags and community discovery matter—pair #diy with specific niche tags (e.g., woodworking/sewing) and post image sets for re-shares. Mastodon is community-first and hashtag indexing is central—use 3–6 relevant tags (including #diy plus specifics), write alt text, and target instance/community norms; evergreen how-tos can resurface via boosts longer after posting than on X.
Pro Tip: Boost EngagementAI
Post a “Before/After + Materials/Cost” carousel or 20–40s native video, then add a 4–6 step mini-guide in the text and end with a constraint question (e.g., “Would you do this with a $25 budget or no power tools?”). On X keep tags to #diy + one niche tag; on Mastodon add 2–4 extra specific tags (e.g., #woodworking/#upcycling) to maximize hashtag search and long-tail boosts.
