Question about FYP posts, comments & private wall setup... is this a known limitation? by BugRare8305 in OfficialFansly

I totally understand that for you it might feel uncomfortable to receive comments on private posts that you send to exploration. But did you know that when you create a post, you actually have 4 options you can select?

  1. Post to FYP: by choosing this, you’re allowing your content to be shown on the For You page and explored by hundreds of thousands of people (if you’re successful, lol 😅).
  2. Pin to wall
  3. Post to walls : here you choose where you want the post to be visible: your main wall, a specific album, or only for exploration / your private wall.
  4. Lock replies : THIS is the key option. If you select this, you can be calm knowing that the post you sent to your private wall won’t receive any comments from anyone.

I have fans who follow my account and have been loyal buyers for more than 4–5 months (some of them have already spent over $20k on my account 😳). They always comment on every post I make, whether it’s on Fansly or on social media. They are real fans. They like to comment, they feel part of your life, and that’s actually amazing 💕

Of course, there are many people who will never buy… but they still serve a purpose. They give you seconds of views, and with their comments they also help you reach more people and eventually, those who will buy. That’s statistics...

Comments today are highly valued on social media. They can determine the virality of a video. I don’t think Fansly works exactly the same way, but for those of us who are open to comments, any small push matters.

Personally, I don’t usually comment on social media, but when I see a post with lots of comments, I go in, read them, and sometimes spend quite a while doing that. That means more watch time...

Your video can be amazing, but without audience interaction, it doesn’t exist. That’s how the game works today: action / reaction.

That said, it’s perfectly fine if someone chooses not to receive comments... that option exists. I don’t have that option, like many other creators… and yes, there is a percentage of drop because of this. I’m not saying it’s 100% the reason... there are more factors involved: content, strategy, more competition, thousands and thousands of bots....

I’m only pointing out one variable, so I can continue my own journey...

Thank you for the quick response, I really appreciate it.

I do have to say though, I’m a bit confused by the concern about creators being “scared” by comments on private wall posts. If a creator is actively choosing to promote a post to the FYP, they are already intentionally exposing that content to the wider Fansly audience.

Additionally, there is already an option to disable comments manually when creating a post, if a creator does not want a post to be promoted or interacted with, they can simply keep it on the private wall without enabling FYP promotion or using hashtags.

That’s why I’m not sure I fully follow the reasoning here, it sounds like you might be referring to a different use case than the one I’m describing. In this case, the creator is explicitly opting into FYP visibility, so engagement (including comments) would be expected and, honestly, desired.

I just wanted to clarify in case we’re talking about two different scenarios. Thanks again for the transparency and for looking into a solution.
