Although I am not confident using Instagram, I can see how it works for artists, increasing profile followers and gathering audiences. I follow Simon Hitchens on Instagram https://www.simonhitchens.com/ . I thought I would conduct a simple comparison and find out what is a good ratio of followers to following on Instagram. According to: https://www.ampfluence.com/instagram-follower-to-following-ratio 1-2 is normal. A user usually reciprocates a follow. So, 10,000 followers who follow 6,000 accounts.
Just to compare, the ratio for Simon Hitchens follower/following ratio is slightly array, similarly as is my own.
Whereas uos_fineart has 1036 followers and only follows 295, but posts 770 posts.
Simon Hitchens posted 627 posts
I posted only 44 posts. I am security conscious and not accept every request to follow me on Instagram. If I cannot see your profile, I wont let you in.

Hootsuite states that ‘likes’ are still an important engagement signal for the Instagram algorithm. ‘Likes’ get your posts seen. Hootsuite is just one of the many sites where you can analyse data to find out when is best to post on Instagram.
